“Smart” phones have terrific new features too: Samsung Notes, with a built-in drawing screen lets you write or draw freehand--just use its stylus and go wild. Nokia and others offer much improved 8-megapixel cameras.
Home automation technology is big, and now there are common control formats. Lights, heating/AC, security, entertainment and more are at your command with a tap on your smart phone or iPad screen; do it all from home, across town or anywhere in the world.
Home wireless networks are better than ever. NetGear introduced dual-band wireless routers, range extenders and a media server that can simultaneously play video, show pictures and backup your systems. NetGear’s Genie software helps make sense of your whole setup.
Fun and useful gadgets were everywhere: surveillance remote control helicopters and cars, glitzy cases, a cool charging device on a small loop doubling as a stylish bracelet. Some here, some coming soon, but you’ll love ‘em all.
Future technology was there too, with eye-tracking and hand or body motion control for your computer or TV set, with all kinds of possibilities for gamers, disabled and many others.
