Features
For many companies, CES is the perfect time to showcase new technologies, launch new products, and speak directly to press and other industry professionals. The Pocketables staff worked hard to bring you the best and most interesting parts of the show, from Tobii’s eye tracking technology to the latest announcements. Of course, not everyone at the show is successful, and a few large companies have even started to pull out.
Reviews
CES is currently the central focus of most of the tech industry, but that didn’t stop us from delivering a number of reviews, from good hardware like the Samsung Galaxy Note II and Sprint’s Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 to not-so-good accessories such as the SwitchEasy CoverBuddy case for the iPad mini. We also reviewed a bunch of great apps like Brandomania HD for the iPad, PressReader for Android, CloudHQ, and AlphaJax for Windows Phone.
Good and EVO
Things are a little troubling for HTC, which continues to see a decline in its profits. What can you expect from the company in 2013? Head on over here to find out. Thankfully, the development community is doing much better. We have a developer spotlight with Steve Melkus of SmelkusMOD fame, and Lights Out for the HTC EVO 3D is our latest ROM pick.
