International CES 2013 Product Predictions
The 2013 International CES will kick off in Las Vegas on Monday, Jan. 7. CES is the largest consumer electronics conference in the world, and this year will feature more than 20,000 products on display from 3,000 manufacturers in 150 countries. Our product team will be involved in finding the best new products launched at CES so we can offer you the highest-quality accessories on the market in 2013! Here are some of our predictions for the top tech trends at CES.
iPhone 5 / Lightning Accessories
This year, the iLounge Pavilion, the exhibition area dedicated exclusively to iPhone, iPad, and Mac accessories, will be the largest ever since its launch in 2010 to CES. More than 500 manufacturers and vendors will occupy 120,000 square feet of space full of new products for Apple mobile devices. Following the release of the iPhone 5 and iPad mini with the new Lightning charging/sync connector, we expect to see some of the first Lightning-compatible charging and docking accessories on the market.
Tablets: Cheaper, Faster, More Pixels
2012’s top selling tablets like the $199 Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire sent a message to manufacturers that they can no longer release underpowered, overpriced tablets and expect to sell them. Competition is driving prices lower, and many analysts are predicting that consumers will be able to get their hands on top-notch tablets for relatively affordable prices. Full HD screen resolution is expected to be a standard feature in 2013’s tablets, as we’ve seen with the Nexus 10 and iPad 4. Many industry experts also expect to see a more powerful processor debut at CES that can keep pace with Apple’s A6X in the iPad 4.
Health & Fitness Products
Following the 2012 introduction of wearable fitness accessories that interact with mobile phones, health and fitness technology is expected to be a big trend at CES this year. Products previewed for CES 2013 include devices that track a user’s activity level, heart rate and more and present the information in a dedicated smartphone app.
The Cloud for Business Users
Cloud-based computing and services are expected to see major developments at CES this year. Possible developments include interactive digital signage platforms featuring cloud-based services for public venues and retail shopping, service vehicles equipped with broadband technologies and cloud-based applications connecting mobile workers, and health and wellness cloud-based services that bridge the gap between consumer-personalized health programs and professional, secure telehealth services.
Leaked Photos Reveal New BlackBerry Phones
Leaked photos of BlackBerry’s new handsets are making the rounds on tech blogs this month as RIM prepares for a worldwide media event on January 30, when they are expected to announce the details of the new BlackBerry 10 operating system and the first phones to run BB10.
Reports indicate that RIM has at least two new smartphones in the pipeline – a full touchscreen handset and one sporting RIM’s signature QWERTY keyboard.
The touchscreen model, dubbed the “L-Series” or “Z10,” will be available in black or white. Photos indicate the smartphone will not have a home button, as the new BB10 OS is designed to allow users to switch between apps without having to return to a home screen. The Z10 appears to have a large 4.2-inch edge-to-edge touchscreen with a textured, removeable back cover for better grip.
The QWERTY handset is expected to be launched as the "X10." Leaked images suggest RIM has stuck to its traditional best-selling handset design with a full QWERTY keyboard positioned under a smaller touchscreen.

Wacky Wireless Product: Call Me, Maybe – Hang On, I Am Receiving a Call
You know that cool hand symbol for “call me” – pinky and thumb splayed out with the rest of your hand enclosed in a fist? Well now that flippant gesture could enable your phone conversations! We recently came across an outrageous product and simply had to share...
Hi-Fun, an Italian company, has – somehow – developed a pair of gloves with built-in Bluetooth technology.The left thumb has a speaker and the left pinky has a microphone. Rumor has it these gloves are a hit with pantomime performers!
A communication-enabling strip on the wrist of the glove includes a power button, answer button and LED light, in a style reminiscent of a Power Rangers wrist communicator. These gloves are so cool, we're pretty sure people are going to walk around speaking into their hand even if they don't own a pair.
The gloves come in both men’s and women’s sizes in black and grey. Good to know, but we have a few more questions about these gloves...
- What if I have big hands?
- Are they available only seasonally?
- Is there a cotton blend available if wool makes me break out?
