SocMed Tech: CES 2013

For you guys that don’t know, the biggest electronic expo in the US, CES 2013, has just passed last week. The show is basically for all electronic companies (in exception of Apple, Nokia, and Blackberry) to showcase their products that they planned to release later this year. And they got some cool stuff that I want to share with you guys.

SONY’s 56-Inch 4K/Ultra HD OLED

This year CES is the main venue for TV makers to showcase their 4K HDTV. This TV boasts a native resolution of 3,840 x 2,160. For comparison, Apple’s 15-inch macbook pro retina display is only 2,880 x 1,800. Sony hasn’t release its pricing yet but judging by their competitors price tag it would probably be around $10K-$20K.

SONY XPERIA Z

This year CES did not have many Smartphone but it doesn’t mean that there isn’t any worthy enough to kick the iphone5 out of your pocket. The XPERIA Z has a higher ppi (pixel per inch) than iphone5, it comes with a quad core processor, and it is not by any means a bad looker, and it has one other thing that I think no other Smartphone has. EXPERIA Z is the only phone that is waterproof for up to 3 feet underwater, so you could finally text while shower.

Panasonic Bone Conduction Headphones

No, the guy in the picture did not wear the headphone wrong. This headphone delivers the sound through vibration onto your bone.  This is not a new technology but it is the first one that actually looked kind of nice. The price is $200.

AUDI Connect Car

Audi has developed their self driving technology for some time now and it looks like they are very darn close with it. Audi Connect car not only can park itself, it also can pick you up. Using an Audi iPhone app, you can set when you want your car to come and get you. Tap the pickup button, it will turn on the ignition and the car will drive itself to pick you up. 

So, I guess it's okay to assume that the future's really near right?
