Like every year, CES was held, this time with the designation 2011, and like every year, Apple did not participate. But that doesn't mean that Apple fans won't find something for themselves at CES. In this article, I would like to introduce you to some interesting gadgets and applications that were showcased at CES 2011 and that caught my eye.
Contour GPS
This is the first Full HD camera (at Full HD – 30 frames per second) with GPS module (recording of exact location for video and photos). In addition to location recording, it can also record movement speed and altitude. The basic set includes – a universal holder and a holder for glasses. As optional accessories for the camera, you can buy an underwater case, tripods, covers, holders... Video can be streamed to the iDevice using its own application, in which the camera can also be adjusted. The output video format is of course ".mov". The camera body is made of durable duralumin and solid rubber. It is intended for extreme conditions – it resists dust, water and extreme temperatures. The camera itself is controlled by one button - you start the recording and press it again to end it and save the clip at the same time. The button is hidden in the back cover. The price is around 350 dollars, in our case around 9 CZK.
GorillaMobile Ori Case for iPad
Well, I was completely blown away by this case. Finally, a company that invented a new look and added more meaning to the case. This case is also a holder! It is made of high-quality metal and can be adjusted to many positions. Thanks to this case, the iPad will serve you not only for work, but also for comfortably watching movies or presentations. The price is 80 euros, but it is not yet available here. So I recommend at least watching this video, which will show you some of its advantages.
Griffin Crayola HD ColorStudio for iPad
After reading the title, you might say, “Another drawing app, aren't there enough already?” But what makes this unique app stand out is that you don't use your fingers to draw, but the included stylus. You cannot draw with your finger on the iPad touch screen in this application, only settings and interactive coloring books are controlled with your finger. The developers were creative and created a piece that will impress with its thoughtfulness and possibilities. The price is not yet known, but I believe it will be around $100. A short video will tell you more.
Interested in any other gadget? Share it in the discussion.
I like the gadgets from Withings better. I find the scale, pressure gauge, but especially the smart baby monitor camera useful for the family. The camera will be on sale from March.
go pro is not full HD? I think the last version (and it's been a while) is already there
Yes, it is also full HD, but it does not have GPS with location recording, altimeter, etc.
Szkandi - thanks, I'll check it out and make another installment :)
yes, that's true, I missed that...:-) well, I'm tired. that's different :-)
I will buy that
The GorillaMobile Ori Case for the iPad doesn't look bad, but the price... I bought a Belkin 360 case for the iPad for 750 including postage from CZ distribution.. I can recommend it to everyone with an iPad, quality solid construction - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXIZ8uaLEgo&feature=related
nFix - it looks very good, I have an original one from Apple, but it doesn't really suit me - I'm thinking between the Belkin 360 and the Ori.
