Apple CEO Tim Cook suggests that iPhone 5’s display was right choice. The next iteration of iPhone will not have a larger display!

Health and fitness technology is not only alive and well, it’s ahead of the curve...

If we learned one thing at CES this year, it was that emerging technology for health and wellness is going to drive markets in 2013 and beyond – an idea supported by PC Mag. For the first time in history, obesity now outweighs hunger. The demand for technology to aid in the wellness process is now higher than ever. As people crave ways to make their daily workout easier and more enjoyable, tech companies all over the world are answering the call with interesting and innovative products.

Wearable devices that measure, track or monitor bodily functions are huge focal point of the fitness tech industry at current. These types of devices range from wearing iPods on designer watch straps allowing users to listen to music while running, to wearable monitors that communicate with other devices in the home. If 2013 is going to be billed as the year of mobile, then health focused technology is the ultimate space: mobile humans using mobile devices to measure their mobility.

Jordan Carpenter from Gadgetsteria was on hand at CES Unveiled back in January and got a hold of sound boosting iPhone 5 case, ampjacket™. Upon using ampjacket, he immediately took note of its beautiful and unique design, and of course, added functionality as a sound amplifying case for the iPhone 5.

Jordan was also lucky enough to also get his hands on an iPad mini featuring the soon to be released iPad amplifier, ampjacket for iPad mini. ampjacket for iPad mini features the same acoustic amplification properties as ampjacket for iPhone 5, but with a slightly different aesthetic design to complement the sleek stature of the iPad mini.

“The AmpJacket for the Mini is so versatile it will not only boost the volume of your iPad Mini but it creates one of the most comfortable ways I’ve held that little device.”  - Jordan Carpenter, Gadgetsteria

General Motors has found a way to bring Apple’s witty personal assistant Siri to their cars. The Siri to Chevy integration will start with Chevy’s two newest and smallest cars: the Chevy Spark and Sonic. Chevy is attempting to connect with “millennials” or twenty-something’s who are in constant need of new innovative products and being connected to all things digital.

Siri will be activated in the vehicle’s “infotainment” system with steering wheel buttons, and will operate in what will be called “Siri in Eyes Free Mode.” The goal is to achieve maximum Siri integration while causing minimum driver distraction.

Automakers Struggle to Keep Up with Smartphone Technology

One of the major reasons for Chevy to use phone-activated apps is that they don’t run the risk of developing their own innovative product technology only to have it rendered outdated in a couple of years. Smartphone technology is rapidly evolving and changing, so easily incorporating into vehicles is a safer bet than vehicle manufacturers developing their own systems. Siri integration will start with Chevy’s smaller cars, and eventually work its way into more vehicle models as time goes on. 

One of the most exciting features is that even while inside the vehicles, Siri will maintain most of the same functionality it has on Apple iPhones. “Siri in Eyes Free Mode” will offer up safe, easy, reliable and portable connectivity to drivers of the Chevy Sonic and Spark.

While our focus remains on Apple accessories and designing stylish and functional products for your iPhone, iPad, and iPod, the engineers at tech giant, Google, have taken a leap and developed a car that drives on its own!

The self-driving vehicle took several reporters around a scenic tour of Washington, D.C. last year where it displayed its ability to maneuver around obstacles, detect traffic signals, and parallel park like an expert! The ride was so successful some reporters called it ‘boring.’ 

The self-steering feature is made possible by a wide array of sensors placed around the vehicle. There are also three GPS-antennas located in the car as well as a radar system and camera that can detect streetlights and stop signs. 

This is certainly an exciting development in technology, but with much experimentation ahead. It’s going to take quite a few years to perfect this technology, but there are definite benefits to a self-driving car. Yet, with every new innovative product comes speculation and in this case there will be many questions and controversy around the liability of such a shift. Per CNN, a fully automated car is still many years off.

Tell us, what do you think about a car that can drive itself? Would you be rushing down to the dealership to order yours or do you prefer to be the real-life driver behind the wheel? Hit us up on Facebook and Twitter to share your opinion, or simply drop a comment below!
