CES

  1. Sync TDI (Traffic, Directions, Information)

    This is a whole new navigation system with its controls on the car dashboard. Produced by the Ford Motor Company this model for routing device is of great use for the journalists as they may need it to run on road to catch a particular event or a show. This system works well to give directions and information about the traffic. It is a perfect example of the real-time systems that are currently in news. Also these are cheap devices that can be fitted in your car perfectly without any additional resources that you might need with such other devices.

  2. iPhone tracking device

    Journalists might need the all new tracking system on their iPhones just to keep a track of their victims or knowledge of any other ongoing event at some other place. This tracking system merges well with any of your iPhones, be it Apple or Androids plus it is a global positioning system working directly through the satellite. This works by showing the details on the screen and also giving an indication of the updates. This application can work non-stop for around a week. It has a range of about 300-400 feet.

  3. iPhone body camera

    As we have seen in various BOND movies, detectives put camera on their body to record everything they see. Well here’s a new invention from CES that will do exactly the same. It has a strap-on which fits around the body. It can be connected through your mobile so that you can exactly watch what you are recording.

  4. Single battery cell phone

    The developers at the CES 2012 have newly produced a single battery powered mobile which will give enough talk time of 10-12 hours and standby time of up to 15 hours. Available in both CDMA and GSM this cell phone will majorly allow journalists to go in areas of low network and yet stay connected.

  5. Interactive Toys

    The Wi-Spi is a toy producing company for kids who is majorly producing helicopters and remote control with video devices to capture the images or live feed and send it your mobile or iPad. You can also share these videos on any social networking sites. Thus this important device for journalists has created an excitement among them.

    The CES had some really awesome devices and gadgets this year. Thanks for sharing these because I missed them all as I was mostly focused on the smart phones and tablets and ultrabooks. I think the Wi-Spi looks cool, my 12 year old son would love that.
