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.
Ulp.
