Hasta La Gadget!

This week at CES 2013 Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO and Co-founder of NVIDIA stepped on stage to reveal GeForce Experience, a new technology environment made to instantly optimize your gaming experience. He began back when the world changed via mobile, starting with the iPod “a thousand songs in your pocket”. Interestingly, Huang’s talk went through the course of 10 years in a few minutes of mobile history, landing on streaming as the key technology for today.

He then made it clear that the big missing piece in the puzzle of today’s mobile-connected universe is, in NVIDIA’s view, the one relatively untouched market insofar as you’re able to play, as he put it, “the same video game on any device” without tethering. Huang went on to speak on the powerful markets within gaming on the PC, speaking on the high points in game sales in general, speaking on how interesting it is that the gaming industry continues to grow but, at the same time, remains stagnant (so to speak).

Huang moved on to Game Settings and how when they first arrived, it was both a blessing and a curse – not everyone wants to make the amplifications needed to make the game run at its highest potential. “Dad I just want to play it”, said Huang, speaking on how back when his son installed technology NVIDIA made with the G80.

With the NVIDIA GeForce Experience – aka GFE – your game will be optimized based on your hardware. With the press of a button, your machine will be able to work instantly at top-notch mode. The performance, scalability, and experience you should have, instantly.

[CES 2013] When I’m walking around my apartment, I usually have music playing from my phone as I like to listen to tunes, but don’t want to have to carry around a bluetooth speaker or have headphones on to listen to anything. My iPhone 5′s speaker is a halfway decent way to listen to music, but if there was such a thing as a wearable bluetooth speaker, I’d instantly throw money at it so I can get my groove on while making my way through my apartment.

ION’s Clipster seems to be exactly what I’ve been looking for when carrying a bluetooth speaker is a complete bummer as not only is the speaker ultra-portable, but it features a large clip that I can clip onto my pajama bottoms or backpack, if for some reason I’m walking around wearing one. The Clipster can be synced with any Bluetooth-compatible device, has a built-in rechargeable battery and rubberized face buttons to ensure you don’t accidentally hit a button.

ION’s Clipster will be available this spring for $29, which is a complete bargain when you consider how portable this bluetooth speaker is. Just be sure not to be the kind of person who plays their Clipster while riding public transportation as we’re sure other folks won’t appreciate your taste in music, no matter how portable your bluetooth speaker is.

Earlier today, Belkin announced a nifty new product to add to its WeMo lineup of home automation products. It’s called the WeMo Light Switch, and it’s internet-connected light switch that remotely controls wired household lighting from anywhere. It works with your smartphone or tablet, including iOS with Android support coming at launch.

It’s a fairly simple device with a very minimalist look to it — great for those who yearn for simplicity. You can control any light in your house, and it works anywhere, meaning you don’t have to be connected to your home’s WiFi network in order to use it — you can be away from your house on a data connection if you want.

You can also put different rooms on a schedule for different times if need be, which is great for those who are paranoid about potential thieves when they’re away for the weekend. The WeMo Light Switch also works with outlets as well, making it easy to control different kinds of lamps or other electronic for that matter. Belkin told us the switch can control an unlimited number of lights, and there’s also an unlimited number of mobile devices that can control a single switch.

The WeMo Light Switch will be available starting in the summer of 2013 at a price of $49, which isn’t terribly expensive by any means — it’s certainly a bit cheaper than the company’s other WeMo options. We’re also told the design may see a slight tweak from now until its release in a few months.

[CES 2013] ION is best known for its iCade, which if you’re unaware, allows you to dock your iPad inside of it to play games through its bluetooth connection. The company has dominated the mobile game controller market with its iCade Core and iCade Mobile, but the company has been producing some other products throughout the years, showcasing a number of them at CES this year. One that caught our eye was its new ION Party Rocker.

The ION Party Rocker is a portable speaker system with built-in lighting that streams music wirelessly from any Bluetooth music player, including iOS and Android devices, and also has an aux-in port so you can connect non-bluetooth devices to it through a standard 3.5mm cable. The Party Rocker projects colorful light patterns onto walls, ceilings and anything else in the room it’s located in and it can even change its pattern based on the beat of the music that’s being played. The Party Rocker even has a port for a microphone so your party-goers can attempt to sing along with the music that’s currently being played.

No word on when ION’s Party Rocker will be available or how much it’ll cost, but we’re sure you can pick it up for your party some time this year.

[CES 2013] Gamers are one group whom you should not trifle with, as they are extremely particular in the kind of peripherals that adorn their desk, or should we say, gaming space. Well, Mad Catz knows the level of seriousness involved, which is why they have come up with the M.O.U.S.9 gaming mouse that boasts of striking aesthetics that are based upon their award-winning R.A.T. model. However, the M.O.U.S.9 gaming mouse has been simplified for everyday use, meaning casual gamers too, will be able to appreciate all of its nuances.

Thanks to the spanking new Bluetooth Smart technology and a laser sensor that is capable of tracking on virtually any surface, including glass, the M.O.U.S.9 gaming mouse is said to come with up to a full year of battery life, although just how many hours of daily gaming does that constitute remains to be seen. The M.O.U.S.9 will play nice with a host of devices such as PCs and Macs to next generation TVs and tablets.

A nano dongle is thrown into the mix for devices that lack Bluetooth Smart mouse support, and you can hook up the M.O.U.S.9 directly to platforms which run on Windows 8 with native Bluetooth Smart mouse support.
