Analogix SlimPort and adapter with the Nexus 4 @ LanOC Reviews
|
 When it comes to the craziness that is CES, you see so many interesting devices, accessories, and gadgets that it sometimes takes a little while for it to sink in. We had a chance to take a look at a new adapter for the Nexus 4 while we were there, the Analogix SlimPort adapter SP1002. Their demo was a Bluetooth game controller tied to a Nexus 4 playing a game with the SlimPort cable pushing the signal to a TV. It wasnt until later after they had given us a sample to check out that I realized that a SlimPort cable, controller, and a Nexus 4 could give me something to do while trapped in a hotel next time I am traveling."

Logitech Joint Giveaway
|
|
I`ve always believed two things, first that anything that people can get for free is always good (even if someone gets something for free they don`t like they can always give it to someone that does) and secondly that giving back to people who support your work is the right thing to do and who knows you may put a smile on someones face in the process and that`s really priceless. So even though it`s been just a couple of hours since we closed the doors to our Antec joint contest we are launching yet another one, this time with our friends from Logitech who were kind enough to make 4 prizes available rather than the standard 3 we ask for. So this time up for grabs we have one Z523 2.1 speaker system and three T650 Wireless Rechargeable Touchpads. As always to participate in the giveaway you need to take 4 very small and short steps:"

We stopped by the Crucial meeting rooms to get a look at the newest DRAM and SSD products from the consumer brand of Micron. DDR4 is imminent, with its expected densities of up to 32GB and power consumption of just 1V driving high usage, high battery life devices in late 2013 with mainstream adoption in 2014 and 2015. On the SSD side, we take a look at an amazing 1 TB-class SSD at a price point of just $600, as well as new 512GB SSDs in mSATA and m.2 form factors."

CES 2013: TactSlider @ ThinkComputers.org
|
|
One of the greatest things about CES is finding those few products that just blow you away. In transit from one scheduled morning meeting to another we crossed paths with the TactSlider booth. This booth was one of the smallest booths that we took the time to stop at during the entire event. Crazy enough the product we stumbled upon will probably revolutionize the tablet gaming industry for years to come. Imagine having a tactile joystick no bigger than a quarter that could attach anywhere to the surface of your mobile device to take the place of the annoying dedicated button spots or terrible tracking d-pads. The TactSlider is a cheap option that will essentially make that d-pad into one of the most comfortable analog sticks Ive ever used. With a ridiculous amount of gaming applications the TactSlider is a product that Im sure will be at CES next yearin a MUCH bigger booth."

NVIDIA Project SHIELD Hands On Video Demo from CES 2013
|
|
NVIDIA made some serious noise and surprised just about everyone in attendance a couple of days before the official opening of this years's Consumer Electronics Show, with the company’s official unveiling of its next-gen Tegra 4 SoC and a portable gaming device, code-named "Project SHIELD."
We posted details regarding Tegra 4 and SHIELD late Sunday night and we’d suggest checking out this post for some additional information, photos, and specifications. Today we got a chance to see SHEILD up-close and personal in a closed-door meeting with some representatives from NVIDIA. Take a look...

OCC has completed its coverage of CES 2013
|

"Last in line was Mushkin's Atlas series mSata drives. While an mSATA drive may not seem all that impressive, and for the most part have been limited to 256GB in capacity, Mushkin put together a way to break that barrier and pack up to 480GB into the form factor. By using a dual-PCB approach, the NAND is essentially contained on two boards that feature three interconnects for the data and power to pass through. An innovative solution to the capacity problem in the mSATA form factor to be sure. I have seen this in use with PCIe SSDs in the past, but not when used in this form factor. This small drive uses an unthrottled Sandforce SF-2281, controlling high speed MLC NAND to deliver performance up to 540MB/s Read, 425MB/s Write, and 78,000 IOPS (4K ran read), with an Access Time <0.1ms. All from a drive smaller than a Zippo lighter.”
