[CES 2014] CES is the hotbed for any new technological advances to be announced, not to mention new products, and the folks over at Alcatel know this. Apart from introducing the OneTouch POP C9 smartphone, there is also the Alcatel OneTouch IDOL X+ that has been touted to deliver life-like content, where it will perfectly match its design with performance. Just what kind of hardware specifications will the Alcatel OneTouch IDOL X+ come with? Well, one will be able to find the octa-core processor underneath the hood alongside a 5″ Full HD display at 441ppi pixel resolution, accompanied by a 13.1-megapixel shooter at the back that does Full HD video recording as well, all crammed into a svelte chassis that measures a mere 7.9 millimeters thin.
Specially constructed to deliver content to the masses, the Alcatel OneTouch IDOL X+ offers vibrant color to pictures and video. It has been finely-tuned to unleash the full power of the octa-core processor, and also boasts of better battery efficiency which will reduce power consumption by up to 18 percent when compared to a Quad Core chip when decoding full HD video. Other smart performance tweaks have also been thrown into the mix to make it a viable option for those who want a decent smartphone without breaking the bank. [Press Release]

[CES 2014] To do the same thing and expect a different result, that would be madness, which is why the folks over at iRobot, purveyors of robotic technology-based solutions, intends to change the way that robotic vacuum cleaners keep your home nice and clean by delivering the iRobot Scooba 450 that is touted to clean your floors in a new way. The iRobot Scooba 450 will be available in North America from tomorrow onward, where it will make use of the new Scooba Three-Cycle Cleaning Process in order to maintain constantly clean floors as well as wash away up to 99.3% of bacteria. Not only that, the Scooba 450 has also been touted to be up to three times more effective at cleaning floors compared to previous Scooba models, at least according to iRobot.
As we mentioned earlier, the Scooba Three-Cycle Cleaning Process will automatically sweep and pre-soak, as it scrubs and then finishes with a final squeegee. The scrubbing brush itself will spin at more than 600 rpm in order to remove grime and messes, where it comes with an updated iAdapt Responsive Navigation Technology that has been optimized for wet floor care. The Scooba 450 can be used anywhere you would use a mop and bucket, and it is a no-brainer to use. You get cleaning options to choose from – a full 40-minute cycle for up to 300 square feet or a 20-minute cycle for smaller spaces up to 150 square feet. [Press Release]

[CES 2014] We have seen a slew of devices announced by the folks over at ASUS earlier today, and here is yet another device which you might actually be interested in. Subscribers to AT&T will be pleased to hear that the ASUS PadFone X will be making its way to the mobile carrier, where this unique device that consists of an innovative smartphone and tablet should be made available soon. The ASUS PadFone X will only have its detailed hardware specifications, pricing and availability announced sometime down the road, but at the very least, you know for sure that it is well on its way.
Jeff Bradley, senior vice president – Devices, AT&T, shared, “We are committed to delivering our customers the most innovative and compelling device portfolio. The PadFone X is first of its kind in the U.S. It combines leading technology, a beautiful design and a remarkably seamless application experience – all on the nation’s fastest and most reliable 4G LTE network. This allows consumers to run their smartphone apps instantly on a vivid 9-inch tablet display. The magic of it is that the experience is not just bigger, it’s better than on a traditional smartphone.”
This 5-inch full HD smartphone will be able to “activate” a 9-inch full HD tablet whenever the handset is docked, and it is powered by Android 4.4 KitKat as the mobile operating system of choice. Coming in a thin and light design alongside a brushed metal frame, there is also a soft-touch back cover and dual front speakers which will be able to deliver captivating audio.

Technically there’s nothing really wrong with the charging cable that came with your smartphone. Except for that long cord you need to constantly wrap, unwrap, and more often than not, detangle. That won’t ever happen with the Thinium, though. It trades an annoying a cord for an ultra-thin transforming design that allows it to plug directly into an outlet.
