CES Wrap Up

Electronics to Watch For in 2012 - Rymax
 
Judging by the incredible products exhibited at the 2012 CES, the upcoming year promises to be another exciting one for technology items.  Last week we previewed the ultrabooks presented at CES and The Insider now has the scoop on some other hot items to be on the lookout for.
 
Televisions are always a hit at CES and this year was no different.  LG was named Best of Show by CNET in large part because of the 55” OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) TV that wowed attendees.  Unlike other OLED TVs which feature three pixels (red, green and blue), the EM9600 adds a fourth, white pixel.  This addition produces a sharper and brighter picture for viewers.  At just 4mm thick, this TV is also impeccably designed.  It is expected to be released in the second half of the year.  
 
Toshiba Camileo ClipIn the cameras and camcorders department, Canon and Toshiba led the pack.  Canon has added four Wi-Fienabled camcorders to its Vixia line.  The new models will offer an MP4 file format, making it easier to share content across mobile devices and social networking sites.  These cameras will facilitate the direct upload of pictures and videos to YouTube and Facebook or to iOS devices via a free app.  Toshiba presented the Camileo Clip camcorder, which is sure to be a trendy gift in 2012.  The Camileo Clip features the ability to shoot 1920 x 1080 HD video, rubberized coating, a compact size at 3.1” x 1.8” x 0.6”, light weight construction (2.5 ounces), and a clip for hands-free recording during adventures.
 
Monster VEKTR headphonesMonster shined bright at CES with the new VEKTR headphones, a collaborative product with the lifestyle company Diesel.  VEKTR headphones will be offered in both on-ear and in-ear versions to provide a comfortable and premium-quality listening experience.  Each set features a distinctive Diesel logo on each ear piece and enhanced audio performance incorporating Monster’s latest technology.   
 
As the year progresses, watch for these items to hit the shelves whether you need a trendy gift idea or a personal reward.
