The CES Experience 2012

When it comes to CES it is more than just a consumer electronics trade show, rather it is an "experience", the "CES Experience". The CES Experience is like no other hosting a vast array of innovative new products so large that your brain runs the risk of an overload of stimulation.

In this article you will see some of the latest new discoveries The Toy Man® and his staff recently found on the opening day of CES 2012  Feature articles will be published soon on each of the locations.



It was quite the sight on day one of CES 2012 as a massive crowd of excited attendees swarmed the doorways to the show floors. Everyone was in a rush to beat the rest of the crowd in exploring the show floors and discovering the latest innovative product developments. Each day of the CES experience the level of excitement isn't lessened in the slightest. As you read further you will soon discover why.


The Journey Begins

As you venture across the show floors you will such an immense of wondrous new products, just waiting to be discovered.  Some of the many new products found were simple and inviting, while others were nothing short of amazing and captured your heart in a fraction of a moment.  It is such a diverse assemblage of creativity and talent; a buyer's delight! The only challenge before you is trying to decide where to start your journey to explore the show floors. The products and companies we are featuring here will all have their company name and booth # included to help your journey of new discoveries become a more delightful and productive activity.

 

Wireless Technology
 

 

Wireless technology is one of the topics on the top of the list for most attndees at CES 2012. Considering that thought our first feature products are from Wilson Electronics, Inc. Booth #35219 [South Hall]. If you are one of the many who are challenged all too often by dropped calls due to signal loss, well Wilson Electronics has developed the solutions you are looking for. Two of their solutions will be covered here.

"Introducing the Wilson Sleek® helps users reduce dropped calls, increase data rates in weak signal areas and originate calls from those dreaded 'dead spots' by increasing any* phone’s output power to the cell tower, keeping the user more reliably connected. Built into the Sleek® cradle is a Wilson bi-directional Signal Booster which amplifies signals to and from the cell tower and a battery charging port. The Sleek is ideal for hands free operation when used with a headset or Bluetooth device."

"With the optional home/office accessory kit the Sleek can be used in your home, office, hotel room, and the airport, providing an improved cellular signal wherever needed."

The Beat Goes On!

Wilson Electronics may have made a smash hit with the Wilson Sleek® yet the beat goes on for the folks at Wilson Electronics with yet another innovative new solution. Introducing the Sleek 4G-V™ - Get peak cellular performance in your vehicle for all phones including Verizon Wireless® LTE devices.

"Now there’s a mobile signal booster for those using Verizon Wireless® LTE devices - the Sleek 4G-V from Wilson Electronics. This powerful signal booster helps you stay connected by providing a strong reliable signal in weak-signal areas, reducing lost connections and speeding data rates. It boosts both voice and data communication - making it perfect for phones and wireless WiFi hotspots like the Verizon JetPack™.

The Sleek 4G-V works with all devices on all conventional 2G and 3G networks,* as well as the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network. Wilson signal boosters feature cell site protection technologies refined over more than a decade of research and development. Optional indoor accessory kit allows use at home or in the office. FCC type accepted."

 


One most important points to consider with these two products is that both products were not just examined at CES 2012. Our team took them both out for consumer hands-on evaluation in Blue Diamond and similar outlying areas of Las Vegas where dropped calls occur more often than people blink their eyes!


The Facts Speak For Themselves

In the conclusion of this phase of our evaluation, the Wilson Sleek® and the Wilson Sleek 4G-V were the absolute rave with the consumers participating in our evaluation process. In both indoor and mobile use, (in 9 different vehicles), both products pulled their weight and delivered as promised. We have no hesitation in adding these products to the elite few we recommend that have met our strict standards for originality, marketability, functionality, and price point.

Music / Hi-Definition Sound
 

 

When it comes to high definition sound, well, Monster Cable set the bar for many to follow, but did you know that Monster is about a lot more than just high definition cables? How about splitters, adapters, and even headphones!

During the awards celebration hosted by Monster at the Paris Hotel & Casino during CES, it became quickly apparent of not just the popularity of Monster products, but the pride the people who sell the products have in each and every product produced. One of the products which was featured in the awards ceremony was the new Inspiration Noise-Cancelling headphones produced by Monster.


Sound matters to Monster and this is clearly demonstrated in their Inspiration Noise-Cancelling headphones which can be experienced in their booth at CES 2012. Booth #'s 13004 and 13013 [Central Hall]. Now check this out. Interchangeable Headband, Epic Audio, Progressive Design that remains consistent with the ever changing demand for high-quality sound, Active Noise-Cancelling, An in-line controller that allows you to switch tracks, change volume or take calls, ability to fold the headset, and the headphones even work with Smartphones! 

Our audo expert on our team was absolutely WOWED! with the performance of the innovative technology in this headphone product offering.

Mommy Tech
 

 

When it comes to "key trends impacting the $90 billion dollar Mommy market", BabyPlus - Booth #3606 North Hall is 10 steps ahead of the pack. The BabyPlus™ Prenatal Education System has truly redefined the definition of innovation as you will soon see. While other companies are busy in developing postnatal products for mothers, The BabyPlus Company™ chose to focus on prenatal concerns and develop a product to fit an important need in that arena. Introducing the BabyPlus™ Prenatal Education System.

Created by a developmental psychologist, The BabyPlus™ Prenatal Education System is a patented, early curriculum and prenatal education system that introduces patterns of sound to a prenatal child in the one language they can understand, the maternal heartbeat.

As a baby discriminates the simple rhythmic sounds of the BabyPlus™ Prenatal Education System from those of the mother, learning begins at the earliest stage. The safe, 16-week curriculum is used one hour twice a day, teaching the child to distinguish between his or her mother's heartbeat and the sounds produced by BabyPlus™.

As the pregnancy progresses, the BabyPlus™ Prenatal Education System lessons advance slightly. This 'auditory exercise' strengthens learning ability during the developmental period when the advantages will be most significant for a child. Much like a prenatal vitamin, the BabyPlus™ Prenatal Education System encourages strong physical development, BabyPlus™ encourages strong cognitive development.


In our evaluation of the BabyPlus™ Prenatal Education System, it was clear to see that it was well deserving of our recommendation. An excerpt from one of the reports from or indepedent evalators strongly influenced our decision.

"Throughout our developmental research study using the BabyPlus™ Prenatal Education System, we examined the process of developmental change of the fetus in each of the mothers who agreed to take part in our research. The system worked well, in balance with the relative influences of the mothers and biological, cognitive and socioemotional development of each fetus."

Sports and Fitness
 

 

Sports and fitness are one of the strongest point of interest in US society today. Trikke Tech, Inc. - Booth #6327 North Hall has taken this fact and brought one of the most popular fitness solutions on the entire North Hall floor! Introducing the Tribred Electric Bikes.

The Tribred Electric Bikes are lithium battery, front wheel powered vehicles geared to serve multiple market segments ranging from fitness to hotel / resort offerings. It is important to understand that the "electric" feature is designed to assist the rider. Through ski-style movements, the rider creates the momentum for the bike to move forward.

The beauty of the vehicle's functionality is that it is designed to work with or without the electric assist option. Taking this one step further, a very important factor to consider is how virtually any rider can adapt to the use of the vehicle. No two people ride a bike or similar vehicle the same. We each have our own unique characteristics that define who we are.


With the Tribred Electric Bikes compatibility is not an issue. To take it to the next level, the design of the vehicle allows the experience of the rider to encompass a much wider range of terrain and locations that most other electric bikes can't even begin to approach.


From my own personal standpoimt, the Tribred Electric Bikes enable many people who are physically challenged such as myself, to reclaim the enjoyment of activity that contributes substantially to personal fitness and productive psychological impact.

What you have here is a product that has a diverse range of application and functionality with a consistent track record of positive contribution to the betterment of others. The reception of this award is clearly well earned and deserved.
