7 Technologies That Will Rule CES 2014


#2 Big-Screen Tablets: Galaxy Note Pro?

The South Korean tech giant Samsung is rumored to be introducing a new 12-inch tablet Galaxy Note Pro at CES 2014. Looks like Sammy is unfazed by Toshiba Excite 13’s – Toshiba’s take on supersized 13- inch tablets – failure in 2012. Back then, Excite 13’s mediocre specs contributed to its flop show. But one can safely bet on Samsung’s 12-inch tab to be a success because it is being manufactured by a company who has a reputation for bringing some of the best-selling phablets and Smartphones to the market after all. Its in-house TouchWiz, based on Android is packed with features such as multi-window and pen input which would complement the 12-inch tablet nicely. Besides that, an LTE version of this tablet has already been tipped for AT&T.

#3 Wireless Power Finally Goes Mainstream (I kid!)

We are one step closer to being able to charge our devices by simply dropping them on the desk, but there are still a hundred more steps to go before this is adopted by everyone around the world, but Qi sure is gaining in popularity. The Alliance for Wireless Power recently introduced a new brand Rezence, which will be competing with Qi. There are a handful of Smartphones and tablets currently on the market that support Qi, but this new Rezence being backed by Samsung, Qualcomm and one other major PC maker looks to triumph over Qi. Expect to see wireless charging pads and other accessories at this year’s CES, but no more. It’ll be some time before you start seeing furniture, cars and other things embedded with this technology.
