Most Popular Innovations at the CES 2012

The latest exhibition of the CES (Consumer Electronic Show) made for a myriad of interesting news for technology fans, but what has caused the most impact at the International Consumer Electronics Fair is the presentation of new equipment which will become available during first and third quarter of 2012.

Previously, we mentioned that CES 2012 would begin with a pre-conference keynote address by Microsoft.  Afterwards, Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) opened the conference of CES with a welcome speech, strongly emphasizing that this year’s CES would be the greenest yet.

To highlight some of the gadgets presented at the CES 2012, we begin with the category of smartphones.   Nokia introduced its first mobile within this category, the Lumia Nokia 900, which will work with the Windows Phone operating system.  LG presented the LG Spectrum with a 4.5 inch screen, the option to manage a 2nd line and with true resolution of 720 p, making it the first smartphone with that resolution quality. HTC showcased the HTC Titan 2 which will work with Windows Phone and has a1.5 GHz Qualcomm processor and 16-megapixel camera. Huawuei surprised with the release of the Huawuei Ascend P1 LTE,  the world's thinnest phone at a mere 6.7 mm thick and weighing only 130 grams, which works with the best operating system currently, the Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich).

In the category of televisions, LG showed its new technology that improves the 3D aspects of voice recognition and gesture interfaces, allowing you to control the TV with these two features, much like the Xbox 360 “Kinect”. Sony had a jaw-dropping presentation of a screen with Led Crystal Display technology and ultra definition known as 4K, which offers the ability to see 3D without the need for glasses and promises to be the best definition of the world.  Panasonic will be the first to enact the concept of “social TV” called, “MySpaceTV“, allowing users to hold conversations with other people when you are viewing a program.

Other hot new devices that drew attention at CES 2012 include:

– The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga with its 180 degree swivel and flip screen.

– SanDisk Extreme 128GB SDXC UHS-I, the fastest and highest capacity flash memory card in the world.

– LG Blast Chiller refrigerator which can chill one or two cans in just five minutes, very efficient when you have a hot beer emergency.

– Toshiba Qosmio F755 (laptop) the release was more about an update for NVIDIA GeForce 3D which will allow you to view images and video in 3D without glasses.

These and other devices made for a very interesting CES 2012 and there only 11 months remaining to enjoy them until the next CES presents the newer, faster, must-have gadgets.
