Roku, maker of radio and tv streaming devices, rocked up to CES 2015 with plans to tackle the TV market. The company unveiled the Haier Roku TV product range, a combination of Haier television technology and Roku's streaming devices, which give consumers access to over 2,000 channels without the subscription fees of traditional cable.

While many smart TVs automatically include access to free streaming channels, these products do pinpoint what consumers now expect from the content industry -- access, without contracts that chain consumers for years on end. The Haier Roku TV 4 Series Smart LED HD TVs, available from Q3, are available in sizes ranging from 32-inches to 65-inches.

Connected Cycle "Smart Pedal"
http://www.cnet.com/news/this-smart-pedal-turns-any-bike-into-a-smart-bike/#ftag=CAD590a51e

The Connected Cycle is a smart bike pedal equipped with GPS and GPRS sensors that are powered by cycling. As soon as your pedals move, the sensors track your activity so it acts as a basic fitness tracker, recording the speed, route, incline, and calories burned of every ride. That data is stored in a connected app that lets you view this activity over time. All the data is stored on the pedals themselves, you won't need to bring your smartphone with you to track this activity.

HP Miniature PC's

PC sales are falling worldwide as more and more consumers turn to mobiles and tablets, but this doesn't mean Hewlett-Packard believes there isn't profit to be had.

What makes the new HP Pavilion Mini Desktop and the HP Stream Mini Desktop interesting, however, is their dwarven dimensions. Far removed from standard tower designers, the HP Pavilion Mini Desktop can fit in to your hand due to dimensions of only 2.06 inches in height and 1.6lbs in weight.

The Pavilion PC operates on Windows 8.1, supports processors of up to Intel Core i3, as well as 1TB storage and up to 8GB RAM.

Joining the Pavilion Mini, HP's HP Stream Mini Desktop comes with additional services, including a 32GB solid-state drive and 200GB additional Microsoft OneDrive Storage for two years.

Both products are expected to hit US stores on Jan 14 2015. Pricing begins at $319.99 for the HP Pavilion Mini Desktop and $179.99 for the HP Stream Mini Desktop.

Samsung "Internet of Things" - SmartThings
http://blog.smartthings.com/news/smartthings-updates/new-hub-sensors-optional-services-integrations/
https://bgr.com/2015/01/05/samsung-ces-2015-smartthings-hub/

For those who don’t know, the “Internet of Things” is an industry buzzword used to describe interconnectedness between multiple different device types that have previously not been connected via the web.

“There are many devices out there that are ready to be part of the Internet of Things,” Yoon said during his keynote. “They have what it takes for sensors, processing power and connectivity. That’s what makes an IOT device.”

To this end, Samsung said that the SmartThings Hub will be completely open to devices that work on multiple platforms and won’t try to lock device manufacturers into one particular platform ecosystem.

Smarter iKettle Wifi Coffee Machine
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencet...akes-tailor-morning-brew.html#v-3971956183001

There's no better wake-up call than a steaming cup of fresh coffee – but first thing in the morning, just getting out of bed to make it can be a challenge.

Luckily, help is at hand from a gadget that grinds the beans, brews them and pours out a hot drink tailored to your taste, all at a swipe of a smartphone.

Just tap a single button in the mobile app that comes with the coffee-maker, then stay snug under the covers as it gets to work,

Roost "smart batteries"
http://the-gadgeteer.com/2015/01/05...e-detectors-smart-with-roost-smart-batteries/

Of all the tech on show at CES Unveiled, Roost probably looked the least exciting at first glance - a nine-volt rectangular battery distinguished only by a bit of branding on its side declaring "coming soon".

The idea behind it, however, is rather clever.

If you install the product in a smoke detector it makes the kit "smart" by sending notifications to the homeowner's smartphone via wi-fi if the machine's alarm has been triggered. It does this by using a sensor that listens out for the sound of the alarm's wail - potentially helpful if you're not in the property at the time. In addition, it sends a message to tell you if the battery needs changing before the smoke alarm starts its annoying chirp.

Toyota opens up hydrogen fuel cell patents to...everyone
http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2015/01/05/toyota-fuel-cell/21299311/

Toyota says rivals won't have to pay royalties if they want to use any of its 5,680 patents globally that relate to fuel-cell stacks, high-pressure hydrogen tanks, fuel system software and hydrogen production and supply.

"We think fuel cells have the potential to become mainstream technology over the next 100 years," says Bob Carter, a Toyota senior vice president in the U.S. "By having more (automakers) and suppliers in on the development of fuel cells, we think this will help accelerate the adoption through the market."

Lenovo Yoga with AnyPen technology
http://www.cnet.com/products/lenovo-yoga-tab-2-with-anypen/#!

Stylus fans should take note of the new Yoga Tab 2 iteration. Packed with AnyPen technology, the Windows 8.1 tablet can react to any metal object used to write or navigate it. Though I was able to use a pocket knife, keys, a screwdriver and a fork while trying out the tablet, more practical items that could double as a stylus include a pencil and pen. This writing versatility paired with a one-year subscription to Office 365 makes the Yoga Tab 2 with AnyPen an attractively portable option for students and workaholics.

XYZprinting "Food printer"
http://www.cnet.com/products/xyzprinting-food-printer/

Basically this is a 3D printer, just like the Da Vinci AiO 1.0 that I reviewed a while ago. However, instead turning plastic into 3D objects, the Food Printer turns ingredients into uncooked food. The ingredients can be chocolate or dough or a combination of solid items and the results, for now, will be cookies, or decorations for cakes. You then do need to bake the printed items before you can consume them, however.

Devialet Phantom speaker
http://en.devialet.com/phantom

You need a big sub-woofer for big bass, right? Wrong. After 10 years of research, French acoustic engineers as Devialet just unveiled a giant step forward in audio that’s just one foot long. The Phantom is a petite, spherical, all-in-one amplifier and speaker that delivers what audiophiles think may be the best sound in the world for around $2,000.

Mercedes Benz F015 - Luxury In Motion, autonomous car
http://www.techradar.com/us/news/ca...015-luxury-in-motion-concept-unveiled-1279119

Called the Mercedes Benz F 015 Luxury in Motion – thankfully it's more elegant than its name – the car is essentially an autonomous pod with an incredibly spacious interior.

Its aim is to carry you to your destination while providing a level of comfort most living room couches would struggle to match – Mercedes believes that as autonomous cars become the norm their interiors will evolve to more closely reflect our living spaces and the F 015 is a reflection of this transition.

nah lg is the only company pushing oleds right now though. They have several models on the way and they are creating a manufacturing plant to help ramp up production. I can't wait until they start hitting the under 2g pricepoint.
