One of our CES sponsors this year was Qualcomm, and we were happy to work with them, especially after checking out the Toq Smartwatch a few weeks back. One of the features Qualcomm is most proud of on the Toq is their Mirasol Reflective Display, and at this year's CES, they set up an outdoor booth to let attendees put their phones to the test. We challenged several CES goers to see how...
There was a lot to CES this year, and there was no shortage of phones amongst the many items on display in Las Vegas. It would have been easy to miss them in all of the coverage coming out of the week, so we've gathered up five of the phones we were able to get some hands-on time with below so you can see all of the latest devices coming out. With Mobile World Congress kicking off next...
The instant gratification of a Polaroid-style camera has nearly disappeared thanks to the popularity of digital shooters and smartphones. Services such as Instagram, VSCOcam and countless others have filled that void, bringing down the need for actual physical pictures. But like every great trend, the satisfaction of the instant print could be making a come back—and its source is a...

One of the constant limitations of Apple’s iPhone is its inability to expand storage. When you choose the device, you only have three options: 16GB, 32GB and 64GB—that’s it. If you want more, you either have to take advantage of the numerous cloud services on the market, including Apple’s own iCloud service, or deal with constantly deleting and adding files. Mophie has a slick new...
The 4K television revolution is upon us, but what if you don't want to go quite that far yet in your purchase of a new TV set? What if you would prefer something that could handle 4K content, but not break the bank? Sharp has the answer for you with its new line of Q+ sets. If you try to run 4K content on a standard 1080P TV all you will end up with is a black screen. With the new Q+...
Besides seeing all of the products companies have coming out for the year, the majority of them also like to give you a peak at some of the trands you could see over the next few years. Sharp had several such televisions on display, and they made us wish the future was now. Have you ever wished your television had no visible borders to the screen? Sharp is working on that. Ever dreamed...
We get up in the morning for technology like Oculus. While many booths at CES were filled with amazing technology—incredible TVs, new phones and tablets, fun 3D imaging demonstrations—nothing impressed us quite as much as Oculus’s new Crystal Cove prototype, which brings us closer than ever to virtual reality perfection. Seriously, you won’t really “get it” until you actually experience...
What were CES events of the past like? Well, we have at least some ideas. While walking around CES 2014 we found some displays showing images of CES from the past as well as some examples of significant items that were announced from years and decades past. Think about it, the cassette tape was once a major technological advancement, as well as the VHS tape. And a portable TV? That’s...
If there was any big buzzword at CES 2014, it had to be "UHD TVs." You could barely walk five feet without seeing a new model, and while 4K has been the big thing for a while, there were already 5K and 8K models already on display at the show. While 5K will be available this year, the 8K models are still a ways off from being available to consumers. It seemed like every company had...
