This week the folks at Jabra are bringing up their game with a brand new Bluetooth headset by the name of Jabra Supreme, and we’ve gotten the chance to see and hold (but not hear) it at Pepcom during CTIA 2012. This lovely little beast has what appears at first to be a bigger than usual earpiece when you consider the competition, but once you hear the sound and the sound cancellation, Jabra notes, you’ll know where all that extra space went.

My CES 2012

, Jan 16th 2012 Discuss [0]

There’s no larger an event the entire year round for tech bloggers such as I, and at the moment, there’s no bigger trade show for Consumer Electronics than CES – this being my first full year attending the events inside and surrounding CES 2012, I thought I’d give you a bit of a look inside what it means to be on the publisher’s side of this monster storm of keynotes, meetings, and floor time. Now that the week is over, I’ve got a couple of moments to sit on the couch and attempt to put down everything that happened (viewable through our [CES LIVE Portal]) without having a heart attack over the sleep I’ve lost, and I’d like for you to snoop in on the situation from this perspective. Once you’ve read what I’ve got to say here, please feel free to ask any questions you might have as well.

Acer Iconia Tab W500 hands-on shows the laptop tablet that wasn’t

, Jan 15th 2012 Discuss [17]

We've seen this device before, it having been on display early last year at Mobile World Congress 2011, but it being here at Pepcom during CES 2012 is more than a little telling for a device that was supposed to be a hit with Windows users throughout most of last year. When it comes to convertible tablets, your humble narrator's favorite device is the Transformer Prime, not least of all because it's able to fold down and be a laptop whenever you decide you want to transport it in such a way, not to mention the fact that it's got a fully functional trackpad to make it a high-class convertible in every aspect of the word - so why is it selling off the shelves while the Iconia Tab W500 remains one of the loneliest tablets in Acer's line of otherwise amazing hardware?
