I simply could not leave CES without getting some hands-on with the new Sony PlayStation Vita. Having abandoned Sony’s PSP after the original device, I was hoping to get a feel of what the Vita had to offer. Gaming on a mobile device is coming along quite well, but I still feel the need [...]

First Look at the myCharge Portable Power Bank 6000
Things are winding down at CES 2012, which was nice for Francis and me, as we were able to walk around more freely due to less traffic and spend more quality time with some vendors. Luckily for us, we were able to stop by and visit our friends from myCharge and PowerBag. We have reviewed [...]
Victorinox Puts 1 TB of Swiss Storage in Your Pocket
This past week I did not see too much earth shattering news regarding USB flash drives at CES. I had a chance to swing by the Victorinox booth to check out their 2012 product offerings. The only real highlight on their storage front was their Swiss Army-inspired USB stick. This was the first USB 3.0 [...]
FashionWare Fashion Show And Gear Diary Is There
Last night at CES featured the Fashionware Fashion Show which featured a showcase of wearable technologies including solar powered backpacks, sophisticated mobile phones and netbooks, and fashion powered by light or movement, climate changing gear, and more. Here is their description of the show: FashionWare captures the excitment of the new wearable and sensor-based technologies [...]
IcePan Ice Cream: Made in a Pan Right Before Your Eyes
On the way back from a meeting at the Wynn Hotel we passed by a small kiosk for IcePan. IcePan is ice cream that is made right in front of you while you watch. It is never put into an ice-cream maker but, instead, is made using a pan kept at 35 degrees below zero. [...]
Pyramid Distribution Brings Us the iGoGo TV and Android-Based TV-Box
Today we heard about a cool new set-top box for your HDTV from Pyramid Distribution, called the iGoGo TV. The iGoGo is an Android-powered box that brings a robust ‘smart TV’ experience to your home. Because it is based on standard Android 2.3, it means you will be able to run tons of the same [...]
ifrogz Boost Near Field Speaker: pre-release first look
I stopped by the ifrogz booth during the first day of CES to see what new offerings they had. In recent years the company has been increasing its selection of ear and headphones and, this year, they are taking things a step further. I got to see their Boost speaker which, when it comes to [...]
The Neat Company Cloud and Mobile Solutions
As has been the case for the past couple of years at least, the Next Big Thing in the computing world is “the cloud”. (I guess it’s taking a little time to implement.) Amazon, Apple, Juniper, Cisco, and tons of other companies are trying to jump onto this new concept of keeping data stored in [...]
Kobo Officially Part of Rakuten Now
It’s official, Kobo is now a division of Rakuten, meaning that Kobo now has some deep parental pockets and an even stronger international reach. While they may still be number 3, they have an opportunity to grab more share in 2012, as B&N struggles to expand internationally. Plus from the sound of Kobo’s press release [...]
Mimoco Announces Mimomicro USB Readers
Try saying Mimoco announces Mimomicro five times fast, and when you’re done admire how cute these are! Sure, you can use a boring USB card reader, but how much better is it to transfer data from your microSD through Darth Vader, Wonder Woman or Batman? From Mimoco: (Las Vegas, January 10, 2012) — Mimoco (www.mimoco.com), renowned [...]
TVR Communications and Tely Labs Combine To Let You Make Video Calls from Your Hospital Bed
For a long time, I was commuting between Austin and my job in California. Which, quite frankly, sucked, was hard on Sami, and was really hard on my kids. But then the iPhone 4 came out, with FaceTime, and The Boy and I could talk, free of charge via wifi, from our own phones wherever [...]
Best of CES Innovations 2012: Smart office Phone by invoxia
So you know how it goes: you march into a conference room with a bunch of your co-workers, and there in the middle of the table is the Spaceship Honeycomb–a multi pronged conference phone that looks sorta spaceagey and cool, the vocal quality of which is . . . never all that great, no matter [...]
Ford CES Health & Wellness News: Ford Collaborates for Health Monitoring While Driving
As a person born at the very tail end of the Baby Boom, or conversely the very, very beginning of GenX, I have been known, in my day, to grouse pretty strongly about how many products are targeted for the Boomer demographic. But even I have to admit that some of those products are durn [...]
iLuv Adds to Their Product Line for CES
iLuv makes accessory-type gear. Cases for you phones and tablets; earphones; power adaptors; audio docks; stuff like that there. And like most tech companies, they have some new items that they are waving in front of our collective noses at CES, like: A Kindle audio dock New cables with charge and sync features New Mac [...]
Motorola Mobility Empowers You to Do More, From Anywhere
Motorola–or “Moto”, as your faithful Gear Diary crew often calls it–almost always makes some kind of splash at CES. It’s a big company, after all, and they’ve been doing electronic gizmos for a long, long time. Last year, for example, our own Dan spent quite a bit of time checking out their (then-) new Xoom. [...]
