Sensus Puts Controls on the Back of Your iPhone

Sensus Puts Controls on the Back of Your iPhone
One of the reasons I prefer to play games on my iPad is that on my iPhone my fingers often get in the way of the action. Either the controls are too small, the controls obscure what’s going on, my fingers block the action, everything is too small to see, or a combination of any of the above. Now, what if the game controls were on the back of your iPhone? That could be cool. Sensus wants to make this happen with their special iPhone case that has control/touch sensors on the back of the case. Continue reading

Safari, Chrome, Gmail, Mail, and Maps Pick Your Default Apps
Last week I was on a local radio tech show hosted by one of Canada’s best tech guys—Steve Dotto. Towards the end of the episode, we talked about if which apps we’d choose as our defaults if we could (non-jailbroken iOS). Like I said in my look ahead at 2013, I think Apple is going to finally open this up to all of us. So, what would your pick be? Continue reading

Does CES still matter?
Today, like most of this week, is going to be spent picking through all the CES product announcements to find a few gems to summarize for you later. “Real” news is going to be hard to come by this week. Why bother announcing something when most of the tech world is focused on the goings on in Vegas? Buzzfeed has a contrarian view that CES, and all trade shows in fact, is only marginally important. So maybe we’re not missing out after all? Continue reading

Apple Looking for Wireless Test Engineers
Supporting the story last week that Apple and Broadcom are reportedly working on a 802.11ac chip for Apple devices, Apple is recruiting wireless test engineers. When first posted the job listing included 802.11a,b,c,g, and ac standards knowledge as a requirement, the posting has now been edited to remove that requirement. Doesn’t matter really, it’s a safe bet 802.11ac is still on Apple’s radar. Continue reading

PaperTab Bringing the End Of Paper Closer to Reality
In an amazing effort from Plastic Logic, Intel, and Queen’s University (Kingston, Ontario), we have a prototype tablet that is flexible, thin, and indestructible. While we look at our current crop of tablets with amazement (at least I do), this device could really change how we do things. How? Because these tablets all natively work together for simple tasks like email, document sharing, and reading. Continue reading

First Day of CES Roundup: iPad Speakers, Health Monitors, and Bluetooth Plant Monitors
CES kicked off yesterday and instead of swamping you all with all the gadgets that are being announced, we’re going to hit you with periodic roundups of things we think are cool, interesting, and maybe a little off the wall. Of course, if there is something we think is particularly awesome, we’ll give it the attention it deserves. Continue reading

Strategy Analytics released consumer buying interest data today indicating that in the next twelve months people are most interested in getting an iPhone, Android phone, PC laptop, and iPads (in that order) this year. However, it’s what is gaining and losing that is far more interesting for looking ahead to 2013. Continue reading
