‘CES 2013’ Stories

Technology conventions aren’t dying – they’re evolving

, Mar 2nd 2013 Discuss [0]

If this year’s Mobile World Congress taught us one thing, it’s that no matter how interesting and innovative the gadget makers and software developers of our global community are, it’s the top brands that end up making or breaking the show. Make or break the show for the press, that is. Case in point: our several articles written from our chat with Google’s Mathias Duarte – they ended up easily becoming some of the most popular posts we had this week, and Google didn’t reveal any new products at the convention. In fact, they didn’t have a stand – the chat we had wasn’t even on the map. And yet, there it is – Google stole the show anyway.

, Jan 17th 2013 Discuss [0]

Right before Sony's press conference at CES 2013, they showed off a five-minute video that featured three of their newest products being handcrafted and assembled right in front of our eyes. The company is now making that video available for anyone to watch, not just CES goers. The video features the Xperia Z, the Cybershot RX1, and one of its HandyCam HD camcorders. Read The Full Story

Vizio 10-inch and 7-inch tablet hands-on

, Jan 16th 2013 Discuss [0]

While we got to see plenty of notebooks and all-in-ones from Vizio during CES 2013, we also got the chance to check out a 7-inch and 10-inch tablet from the company that don't seem to be as far along in the development process as the other products. Nevertheless, they certainly were cool, sporting technical specifications that can take on the larger tablet manufacturers out there. Sadly, we don't have release dates for either of these two tablets, but that doesn't mean we can't talk about them in the meantime! Read The Full Story

Nano Nails converts long fingernails into stylii

, Jan 15th 2013 Discuss [0]

As you can imagine, touchscreens have a slight bias against long fingernails, and if you happen to have long fingernails, we're sure that you've already developed some special techniques to effectively use your phone and tablet. However, a new product called Nano Nails aims to essentially turn those long fingernails into touchscreen stylii. Read The Full Story

CES 2013 saw over 150K attendees, 1.92M square feet of exhibit space

, Jan 14th 2013 Discuss [0]

If you didn't know, last week was CES 2013. We were there in Las Vegas in full force to report on the latest and greatest gadgets, so we know first-hand at how packed the convention center was, so it may not be surprising to you that over 150,000 attendees ended up roaming the halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center, with 1.92 million square feet of exhibit space.

Samsung demos curved phone concepts (plus what’s likely the Galaxy S4 display)

, Jan 14th 2013 Discuss [0]

Samsung may have had big screens on its mind at CES, but the company also previewed what might be the display the Galaxy S IV (aka Galaxy S4) is blessed with, together with the flexible AMOLED we’d really like it to have. Buried on the company’s stand was a display of curved AMOLED concepts under Samsung’s YOUM brand, AnandTech reports, with the panels curving around the edges and sides of the mock-up devices. More imminent, however, is a 4.99-inch 1080p Full HD screen running at a luscious 440ppi, which is likely to find its way into Samsung’s next Android flagship.

CES 2013 wrap-up: Accessories steal the show

, Jan 13th 2013 Discuss [0]

In some ways, one could argue that CES 2013 was really all about the accessories. Sure, a lot of companies where there unveiling new hardware, whether that hardware was a massive TV, a new gaming tablet, or a phone that has an eInk display on the backside, but there were more accessories than we care to count being shown on the floor. Each of these accessories seemed to offer something unique; each was newsworthy in it’s own particular way. There were some that caught more attention than others, naturally, but nearly every accessory we saw is bound to get someone, somewhere excited.

Samsung’s Galaxy Camera: Our Secret Star of CES

, Jan 13th 2013 Discuss [0]

CES isn’t short of product launches, and if you want to keep up you need the right tools. For 2013, the SlashGear team tried out a new workflow: carrying Samsung’s Galaxy Camera and doing as much of our uploading of photos and video wirelessly. We’d already been impressed by the Galaxy Camera in our review, but taking the Android-powered point-and-shoot out into the field for what’s arguably the toughest assignment on a tech-head’s calendar really put it through its paces. Read on for our full report.

Apple was alive and well at CES 2013

, Jan 13th 2013 Discuss [0]

Tons of big-name companies make an appearance at CES every year, and while Microsoft backed out of this year’s show, there were still a bevy of companies that filled the void. LG, Sony, Qualcomm, Verizon, Samsung, Intel, and more, all stepped up to the plate to take Microsoft’s place, but one other big-name company that made an appearance at the show was Apple. They didn’t necessarily have a booth, or had any of their execs on the show floor, but their products were everywhere, and I’m not even exaggerating when I say such a thing.

Why NVIDIA’s Project SHIELD struck hardest at CES 2013

, Jan 12th 2013 Discuss [0]

This past week at CES 2013, the SlashGear team was privy to a handful of fantastic or otherwise generally interesting next-generation technology, but for yours truly, there was nothing as significant for its designer as NVIDIA’s Project SHIELD. I want to be clear in saying that there may have been more market-ready, real-world devices and services presented to us that have hard release dates and/or real track records for success in earlier models, but when you take Project SHIELD and speak about how important even just the idea is for the NVIDIA brand and ecosystem, nothing else had as important a set of implications.

Vizio PC lineup 2013 refresh hands-on: it’s time for touch

, Jan 11th 2013 Discuss [0]

Vizio's new Windows 8 Tablet PC was definitely one of the devices that caught our interest during CES 2013, but the company isn't content with stopping at just tablets. In fact, Vizio seems to have become very enthusiastic about Windows 8, introducing new lines of touch-based notebooks and all-in-one PCs that are ready to take full advantage of the operating system. We got to spend a little bit of time with them when we stopped by for a visit with Vizio, and starting right off, we have to say that we like what the company was showing off. Read The Full Story

CES 2013 wrap-up: Gaming gets the spotlight

, Jan 11th 2013 Discuss [0]

We’re used to CES being all about gadgets and technology in general, but this year, there were actually a surprising number of major gaming announcements. NVIDIA positioned itself front and center, leading the charge and talking about a number of new products and services that are bound to get any gamer bouncing up and down with glee. Perhaps the biggest reveal NVIDIA’s press conference held was the reveal of Project SHIELD, a new Android-based games console that’s packing the company’s latest mobile processor, the Tegra 4.
