Great stuff from Palm by this February.
Verizon exclusive Pre Plus gets 16GB storage and 512MB ram; Pixi gets Wifi (AT&T and SFR in France later)
Mobile Hotspot (only Plus versions)
Native development with easy ports of C and C++ apps and 3d games (now in app catalogue)
Flash 10.1
Open web distribution of apps (no approval process)
Video recording and editing
I love the frequent OS updates. Keeps the Pre from being left behind with all the new phones coming out. And I'm betting ATT get their own versions of Pre and Pixi.

I hope Sprint gets an update too at some point, if not a third WebOS phone. The styling of the Pixi with more power than the Pre would be awesome. I feel left out with the Pre Plus and the extra RAM. I can't exactly easily switch to Verizon. Even if I could, there is no way I could get a $68 a month phone bill with them.
But yeah, overall a pretty impressive showing by Palm.

This is the kind of useless, but awesome, stuff I want to see at CES! Moar!
I can't wait until car windshields are made of this.

yes, it's just a keyboard. It doesn't have netfilx or an OLED screen or anything special.

Arc Keyboard...makes no sense. Not portable. Not foldable. No reason to have receiver housed in keyboard.
...it's not like you're traveling around with your Arc Keyboard in your laptop bag or something.

I'd be surprised if there wasn't yearly hardware updates to keep up with the pace of technology but announcing it now would hurt sales on Verizon. By the time new hardware hits Sprint, we'll be close to being able to upgrade since we get to do it yearly if I'm not mistaken.nataku said:
I'm also jealous about the ram and tethering but it's hard to complain when paying $68 monthly after tax and insurance and getting things like texting, navigation and live tv included.

It won't be worth it until then, either.EricM85 said:
That Sony OLED-3DTV looks nice. Autostereoscopic, too. I'll probably be going the OLED route when I get a 3DTV. Of course, an OLED-3DTV will become reasonably priced at the 40"-60" spectrum in 10 years, so, I should be all set with waiting for the technology to mature. :lol

Because when the weather is shit outside, you press one button and bam, you see a beach or mountains. It could be pretty fucking awesome. When it's in standby it could have small widgets for time, weather, scores, missed calls etc.
Another cool applications for clear monitors is a GPS on your car's windshield directly in front of you.
The best in show for me is hands down the MSI dual-screen "Future-puter", all the other MID and Tablets and eBooks are just meh.
I think from the crappy MS slate presentation we know that this is a reactionary move. The spec should be direct rip off of the Apple tablet. So I am guess a 7"-9" giant iPod touch, custom CPU, 800X480 and hopefully 1024X600 for screen, 1 gig-ish speed. Twice as much memory as the iPod. I am guessing $700 unsubsidized and $399 from AT&T. You will get unlimited internet, some free Times/Conde Nast magazine subscriptions for $30 a month. Additional subscriptions is probably $20 per magazine. Mark my words.

CES Killer ap is here!!!!
Cell phone carriers have been promissing femtocells for years - basically, tiny cellular antennas for your home. They improve reception, and as a bonus, dont use any minutes. AT&T and TMobile have been "testing" them for years, in a limited pilot market.
Finally someone said fuck that and made their own!
------------
LAS VEGAS -
The company behind the magicJack, the cheap Internet phone gadget that's been heavily promoted on TV, has made a new version of the device that allows free calls from cell phones in the home, in a fashion that's sure to draw protest from cellular carriers.
The new magicJack uses, without permission, radio frequencies for which cellular carriers have paid billions of dollars for exclusive licenses.
YMax Corp., which is based in Palm Beach, Fla., said this week at the International Consumers Electronics Show that it plans to start selling the device in about four months for $40, the same price as the original magicJack. As before, it will provide free calls to the U.S. and Canada for one year.
The device is, in essence, a very small cellular tower for the home.
The size of a deck of cards, it plugs into a PC, which needs a broadband Internet connection. The device then detects when a compatible cell phone comes within 8 feet, and places a call to it. The user enters a short code on the phone. The phone is then linked to the magicJack, and as long as it's within range (YMax said it will cover a 3,000-square-foot home) magicJack routes the call itself, over the Internet, rather than going through the carrier's cellular tower. No minutes are subtracted from the user's account with the carrier. Any extra fees for international calls are subtracted from the user's account with magicJack, not the carrier.
According to YMax CEO Dan Borislow, the device will connect to any phone that uses the GSM standard, which in the U.S. includes phones from AT&T Inc. and T-Mobile USA. At a demonstration at CES, a visitor's phone with a T-Mobile account successfully placed and received calls through the magicJack. Most phones from Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel Corp. won't connect to the device.
Borislow said the device is legal because wireless spectrum licenses don't extend into the home.
AT&T, T-Mobile and the Federal Communications Commission had no immediate comment on whether they believe the device is legal, but said they were looking into the issue. CTIA The Wireless Association, a trade group, said it was declining comment for now. None of them had heard of YMax's plans.
Borislow said YMax has sold 5 million magicJacks for landline phones in the last two years, and that roughly 3 million are in active use. That would give YMax a bigger customer base than Internet phone pioneer Vonage Holdings Corp., which has been selling service for $25 per month for the better part of a decade. Privately held YMax had revenue of $110 million last year, it says.
U.S. carriers have been selling and experimenting with devices that act similarly to the wireless magicJack. They're called "femtocells." Like the magicJack, they use the carrier's licensed spectrum to connect to a phone, then route the calls over a home broadband connection. They improve coverage inside the home and offload capacity from the carrier's towers.
But femtocells are complex products, because they're designed to mesh with the carrier's external network. They cost the carriers more than $200, though some sell them cheaper, recouping the cost through added service fees. YMax's magicJack is a much smaller, simpler design.

Sounds great. I should buy one for my mom when it comes out because reception at her place sucks.
Of all the companies to potentially 'win' CES, who would have thought RCA might do it?

Airnergy WiFi power system
This is so full of win, it's almost too good to be true. Imagine not having to charge your portable devices anymore?
I hope they license this tech out. Just imagine if eventually it's shrunk down, and things like eneloop batteries do this as well? FUCK!!!!!!!!11!!

Others have been R&Ding this sort of tech, but it looks like this is actually pretty close to a rollout. Can't wait!!!
Another highlight for me is the USB 3.0 demo. They hooked it up to an Intel SSD, and were getting ~200Mbs
. While internal drives still win in terms of form-factor, portable drives obviously offer far better practicality in certain situations.The fact that USB 3.0 gives up very little in performance is going to be awesome!!!
One last quick note. Android is making a killing at CES. It's showing up not only in phones, but in several tablets and slates. As for phones though, LG's CEO just announced that about half of their upcoming smartphones will be Android.

Awesome if this goes all the way----this is some Tesla shit right here(almost literally IIRC)!
As for Tesla, this is a bit different from his 'world energy' concept, which can be seen as more of a virtual lightning rod.
What is actually closer to this tech, is what Solaren is doing. Their Space Solar Power (SSP) tech involves collecting solar energy from space ... converting it to RF for transmission to Earth ... and converting the received RF energy to electricity. This is pretty much doing the last step, but specifically in the WiFi RF range.
Could be. As I said before, I've certainly seen others discussing this tech previously ... I believe prototypes have been demoed as well. What differentiates this is that it looks like it's actually ready for primetime. Was the Nokia stuff ever released?
