LAS VEGAS, CES 2013 – Ubuntu’s entry into the smartphone market is interesting, and at first gasp, they look like another open-source Android competitor doomed from the start for lack of marketshare. Maybe it’s not so bleak, though, for the Linux maker. Sure, they’re hopelessly outnumbered and entering a bloody fray, but like Battlestar Galactica’s Cylons, they’ve got a plan.
Moshi has today announced its plans to enter the portable battery market in the second half of 2013 with a brand new charging product for Android and iOS devices. The device will employ Moshi’s trademark look, which consists of a modern, minimalist design and premium materials, and will initially be available with 5,000 and 10,000 mAh batteries.
Moshi has announced the Cardette 3, the latest addition to its best-selling media card reader line, at CES in Las Vegas today. The full-featured card reader supports the latest high-performance memory cards, including CF and SDHC/XC, and boasts super speedy USB 3.0 and UHS-I compatibility.
LAS VEGAS, CES 2013 – What do a four-rotor, remotely-piloted vehicle, touch-screen car audio and a little, Bluetooth-armed facsimile of a plant stem have in common? Not much. Yet they’re all concoctions from French-based Parrot; the latter is their newest gadget, a sensor-laden gardening device they’ve named the Flower Power.
You wouldn’t normally associate HP devices with the Android or iOS platforms, but the company’s latest gadget plays nicely with them both. It’s called the Pocket Playlist, and it allows you to stream all of your media wirelessly to all your smartphones and tablets. It boasts 32GB of internal storage, and it can stream to up to five devices simultaneously.
