Jhoombox is the first streaming box that makes you sing. Running off of Android, think of it like a mix between a Roku and a karaoke machine, where you're connected to the Internet and you don't need any special cables to get the party started. Plus, just like any other TV enhancer, it's got movies, TV shows, music, games, social
The introduction of LTE technology and high speed data can't eliminate dead spots within homes or buildings. Both 3G and 4G technology is still reliant upon basic radio transmission, and so there are still situations where the signal from the local cell tower will not be sufficient. The Zboost unit can handle a number of phones in a small business
You'd think that a professional pinball machine would be out of the budget for home entertainment. The founder of Stern Pinball, who claims sixty five years of experience in the industry, says that is no longer true - their new unit is within reach of many consumer's budgets. Plus there are themes such as AC/DC, X-Men, Avengers, and Avatar that
Delphi is currently working on a technology that will get rid of cords and clutter that exist in most vehicles on the roads today. How? Delphi's Wireless Charging for consumer devices will be able to power all of your mobile electronic devices for you, without the need for plugs, adapters or cords.

Visiting the Thinkware booth allowed us to discover an in-car DVR system, useful for capturing the moments of an unfortunate accident or for sight-seeing. Thinkware's FXD-700 is a front device recorder that picks up images, speed and time and starts recording as soon as you start the car, with help of a motion sensor. All of it then saves to
At Eureka Park we saw a really cool product from Viotech Communications, which allows a user to access all of their content, from any device, from anywhere there is an Internet connection. The service, called my eHome, is a set-top box type of solution (the box is called "HomeB"), which lets you, as Viotech says, multi-play your home. Essentially, it's
Visiting the Freer Logic led us to discover a product called Body Wave, which allows you to increase your mental capacity, physical performance or even control objects around you, all by using your mind. While this may sound a little far-fetched, it actually worked, all from a device that we wore on our wrist that was slightly larger than an
The Zboard Skateboard, work of art, is made by Intuitive Motion and is a new, fun way to travel. It's a skateboard that is powered by a motor, but more importantly, is controlled by your feet. Simply lean on the front foot pad to accelerate and the back foot pad to brake, and how fast or slow you go is
Accidentally Extraordinary is one of the amazing companies we saw at CES. The made-in-Oakland, touch-controlled headphones were one of the truly new ideas found at this year's largest innovation event and they definitely turned some heads. The concept is simple: take your headphone cable and make it touch sensitive like everything else you own now. Swipe for volume up and

Wayne Scholes stopped by the TPN broadcast area to talk a bit about Red Touch Media and its content delivery and management solutions. The company handles this on a rather large scale -- think Sony, Paramount, etc. The company not only delivers and tracks the media, but also provides the data analytics for its customers. This content is delivered to
If you have ever been in the market for cables, and we all are at some point, then you have likely discovered Monoprice. Personally, I just used them yesterday for a new 15 ft. HDMI cable.
