If you were at the 2011 International CES but didn’t get a chance to visit the Listen To Your Buds booth there’s still plenty of information available about the safe listening campaign. CEA is a vital and much appreciated sponsor of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) campaign educating consumers about the risk of noise-induced hearing loss through the misuse of popular audio tech devices. In their fourth consecutive show appearance, ASHA shared a hearing protection message specifically targeted …

Of the six top tech product trends I reported on from last year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES), only two made it on the list again for this year, namely Internet enabled TV’s and car technology. Though it’s true that the other product trends are still popular this year, most of these trendsetters lost some of their steam. Without a doubt, new tablets were being introduced at every corner, with an estimated introduction of over 80 tablets! For a view …

The New Year is underway and chances are you came into it with several resolutions. How many of those are you actually sticking to? Well, technology can help you stick to all those fitness-related resolutions you made.
CEA recently did a study, Getting Fit With Consumer Electronics, which showed fitness technologies are key to helping consumers stay motivated. I can personally attest to this since purchasing a Nike+. Knowing that all my runs will be tracked and plotted out on a chart makes it hard to skip …

The 2011 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) was impressive – and massive. At the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) alone, 1.6 million net square feet of exhibit space were utilized to highlight the plethora of innovative products and ideas at the show.
 
Convergence, “smart” technology and revised use-case scenarios rocked the scene. Smartphones now control refrigerators, TVs surf the Web and stream online content and 3DTV already has a model in the works that does not need glasses.
Sustainability itself moved from …

Earlier this month, I got to see all the latest and greatest new gadgets at CES. It was my fourth show and my favorite yet. Attendance was up, the mood was high and as always – fun, new tech gadgets were everywhere to be seen. Every year I look forward to checking out what’s new in digital imaging, and this year didn’t disappoint.
The Kodak Pulse is one of my favorite digital frames. The 10- or seven-inch frame comes with a …

I once heard standards compared to sausage – the end product is good, but, you don’t to see it being made.

The tremendous innovation on display last week at the International CES also included many green products. Advancements in energy efficiency, product design, smart home and power generation were prominently featured for the more than 140,000 attendees.
This trend was recent highlighted by the CEA 2010 Sustainability Report (download a copy at www.ce.org/green) and the prominent environmental nonprofit Greenpeace, which issued its own report on green electronics at CES on January 6.
“Our survey shows that electronics manufacturers have made demonstrable progress over the past few years by producing products …

CEA launched its second annual Best Shots photo contest this year with Photojojo joining as a partner. Starting in mid-November contestants had a month to submit photos in four categories: travel, people, pets and cell phone shots.
More than 600 people submitted some unbelievable shots. All photo entries were on display in a continuous slideshow during the 2011 International in the Las Vegas Convention Center. With digital cameras it’s so easy to take a lot of shots, but sometimes those pictures get left on our cameras. Don’t …

The show is winding down on day four here, and I’m hanging out in the NBC Universal Bloggers Lounge.
I’ve been running all over CES the last few days, and saw so many great electronics accessories. From gaming and Apple accessories in iLounge to notebook and audio accessories – this show has it all!
Eton had a collection of solar-powered products. The Soultra, a solar-powered iPod/iPhone dock, can pump your tunes out for all to hear while charging your device at the same time. Its rugged rubber case …

We (Katy Papadopoulos and Brian Leitch—co-founders of SheLuvsTech) came to CES for the first time last year hoping to connect with some vendors and distributors for our business and maybe find some innovative products that we could market to our demographic. We were absolutely blown away not only by the sheer numbers of people and ideas and amazing showcase of technology, which is sort of a given, but also by the networking opportunities, the keynote and learning …
