Emo Labs becomes ClearView Audio, assures product unveiling at CES 2013

We haven’t heard a peep from Emo Labs since it was plugging its invisible speaker technology all those years ago, but now it’s back with a fresh name and a full bank account. The company has dropped its previous title to become ClearView Audio, and has secured another $1 million in funding which it will use to launch products with its Edge Motion technology. To jumpstart your memory, the reimagined speakers consist of a clear acrylic glass membrane, which produces sound when the sides are flexed by piezoelectric actuators. “Commercially ready products” are expected to be revealed at CES 2013, and we’ll be interested to know whether the original strategy of integrating them into displays remains the same. Given the long period of silence, we hope to be pleasantly surprised come January, but we’ll just have to wait and see hear.

Samsung bringing 85-inch ultra high definition TV to CES

DNP Samsung bringing 85inch ultra high definition TV to CES

Samsung announced on Monday that it won 27 CES Innovation Awards for several of its products, but nested within a list of familiar honorees was a wildcard: an 85-inch ultra high definition TV. Bringing earlier prototypes (pictured above) to fruition, this massive up and comer cranks out resolutions of over 8 million pixels. Sammy is billing this titanic television as “the world’s largest commercialized UHD LED TV,” a claim that will likely be challenged soon. Thin on pricing and release details, the company did confirm that it will be on display at CES 2013. So, if you’re currently denying yourself luxuries such as hot water and warm meals in hopes of saving up to snag a certain 84-inch UHD set, you might want to pump your brakes until you see what Samsung has up its sleeve in the months to come.

Microsoft to Windows RT OEMs: ‘If your name’s not on the list, you’re not making a tablet’

Posted in: Today's Chili

China Times is reporting that Microsoft is only letting an elite few companies build Windows RT tablets in order to focus its research and development resources. It reportedly asked three chipmakers to pick up to two OEMs to bring inside the tent, with NVIDIA grabbing ASUS and Lenovo, TI snagging Toshiba and Qualcomm selecting Samsung and HP. However, the latter company dropped out of the program to concentrate on x86 machines, so it’s rumored that Dell’s currently jockeying to take its place. The first wave of completed tablets will arrive on October 26th, and Redmond won’t open up the market until January next year — so expect Windows RT to be the buzz-word CES 2013.

Samsung’s Stephen Woo to kick off day two of CES with keynote

Samsung's Stephen Woo to kick off day two of CES with keynote

You might be thinking, “it’s too early to be talking about CES,” and we wish you were right, but you’re not. January’s consumer electronics extravaganza is inching closer, plans are already being laid and Samsung President Stephen Woo is filling in appointments in his calendar. The most important of those will be his keynote that’s set to kick off day two of the festivities in Vegas. The talk will largely focus on the little things, and we don’t mean unimportant things, we mean components. All those tiny slivers of silicon that make your gadgets go are really what is pushing the industry forward and Samsung is a major player — pumping out processors, memory, SIMs and camera sensors. The former Bell Labs and Texas Instruments employee will bring his 20-plus years of experience to bear on a vision of the future, presumably powered by Sammy’s chips. Will he also unveils something new… perhaps a next gen smartphone CPU? We’ll just have to wait and see. Guess it’s time to start booking those flights.
