Staying in touch with someone who doesn’t often use tech can be hard. Especially if it’s someone you care about, but don’t live close to. One solution is MemoBird from Knectek Labs, which was demoed at CES 2018. Available since November 2017 in the US (and coming to the UK in March), it’s a simple …

You no longer need to worry about having to remove your Facebook video of your New Year’s Eve countdown party even if it had Ed Sheeran’s Perfect playing in the background.

For anyone who’s ever watched a Samsung press conference at CES, this year felt different. To some, that might mean boring. There wasn’t quite the wow factor we’ve seen before. No moving wall dramatically parted to reveal a massive TV, and shiny refrigerators didn’t miraculously appear on stage. There weren’t any celebrities to talk about how much they adore Samsung …

At CES 2018, it’s clear technology is expanding health care beyond the doctor’s office. A world of connected devices can track your vital signs, take an EKG or monitor your exposure to UV rays.

I tried the original AirSelfie drone, a tiny flying camera that attaches to your phone case, and it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. But it still had some issues, including so-so image quality and poor battery life. Now we get the AirSelfie2, announced here at CES 2018, which should be significantly better. It has an upgraded …

OLED TV technology provides the best picture quality we’ve ever tested, but until now it’s been limited to 77-inch TVs and 4K resolution. A new concept set by LG Display blows through both of those barriers. It’s 88 inches — huge, with an eye-blowing 8K resolution. That’s 7,680×4,320 pixels, or four times that of 4K, and 16 times more than …

Outdoor Tech’s slim Chips are among the more popular speakers you can integrate into your ski helmet, giving you built-in headphones. They currently come in an inexpensive wired version and a more expensive Bluetooth version.

Google did us no favors when it announced Google Clips last year, reviving a not-much-loved product category that had pretty much died with the Narrative Clip. Following in Google’s footsteps comes the $199 Roader Time Machine Camera which made its debut at CES 2018. The Time Machine Camera is less creepy, for sure. It constantly buffers video, and when you …

Sony is no stranger to expensive ultra-short-throw projectors, but its latest example, the LSPX-A1, strives to be different. It’s designed to look like a stylish credenza or side table. The top is artificial marble, the frame is finished in half-mirror aluminum and there’s a wooden shelf below. Turned off, it would blend into a modernist living room seamlessly. Now playing: …
