World’s first Android-powered camera with an interchangeable lens..


Most of the mobile savvy people are cognizant about 
the Android-powered Samsung Galaxy Camera; regardless of having a point-and-shoot, the camera lacks the ability to capture eye-popping shots. In this situation, Polaroid surprised everyone by unveiling the world’s first Android-powered camera with an interchangeable lens at CES trade show. The camera runs Android 4.1 “Jelly Bean” OS and features photo-sharing, editing tricks, and 10-30mm zoom lens.  The device has the capability to take snaps of up to 18 megapixels and video up to 1080p and features a HDMI output for direct connection to a TV. The device is built by Polaroid’s partner Sakar.


Polaroid’s camera lacks the option of data plan, unlike the Samsung’s Galaxy camera, which means a user has to use Wi-Fi or Bluetooth of his Smartphone which can be paired with the camera to access the internet. The 3.5 inch LCD touch screen in back has a pop-up flash and it also includes features like auto blink detection, auto face exposure and panorama mode. The device will hit the market in Q1 of this year and will cost $399.

SleepPhones - Headband with built-in earphones..


 SleepPhones - Headband with built-in earphones

A headband with built-in earphones could lull you to deep sleep, without even waking a partner sleeping by your side. Existing versions are wired with a phone, but a wireless version, slated to go on sale in April, has just won a prestigious award at the CES in Las Vegas.

"Being able to sleep soundly is crucial to feeling well overall, and SleepPhones help by playing relaxing audio, drowning out noise, and establishing a positive bedtime routine," says Wei-Shin Lai, one of the inventors of the headphonesThe firm began selling the product in 2007, when Lai was working as a doctor.

"In 2007, I had trouble falling back to sleep after patient phone calls late at night as a family doctor. My husband suggested that I listen to something to take my mind off of patient concerns," says Lai, the Daily Mail reports. "Since I didn't want to disturb my husband while he slept, I needed headphones or ear buds I could wear in bed. But there was nothing comfortable in the market so I came up with stuffing speakers inside a headband," adds Lai.


"There's a version of our product for sports, a version for sleep, and now a wireless version that eliminates cords entirely by playing back media from any Bluetooth-enabled device," concludes Lai. The current version has a wire so it can be plugged into an iPod or bedside alarm, but the next version will be wireless, the firm said Sunday.
