The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas last week featured a dazzling array of high-tech gadgetry.
Apple, for example, is launching the latest model of the iPhone, the 4S, in October, and sang the praises of its new camera, calling it the ‘you-can’t-believe-it’s-on-a-phone camera’.
“This just might be the best camera ever on a phone,” the California gadget-maker said of the 8-megapixel resolution. “And with all-new optics, it just might be the only camera you need.”
The invention of US industrial designer Peter Treadway, battery-powered spnKiX motorised high-tech shoes allow a user to glide along at speeds of up to 16kmph. The shoes will begin shipping in March and will cost $649.
