Anker is showing off a concept that it calls the “world’s first wearable solar panel.” Like its solar umbrella product, the cloak uses perovskite solar cells, with 30W maximum input and USB-C output to charge your phone. The LED strips make it very Blade Runner chic, and I can confirm that it’s quite warm. Not sure how much use I’d get out of it in Seattle though...
We’re at Pepcom’s annual Digital Experience showcase on CES Eve! The takes will be hot but this ice sculpture is cold. We verified this with rigorous in-person testing (Vee touched it).
A company called Roam is getting ready to launch the SodaTop, a portable device that fits on a Hydro Flask and can carbonate your water on the go. And it works! I tried the water and it was fizzy and lovely. I’m ready to buy like, five of them and never be without sparkling water again.
I’ve seen like, so many versions of this over the years, but Belkin is the latest to try and make the whole “phone-is-a-camera” thing happen. And I love them for trying! This MagSafe grip feels sturdy and it can charge another device with an integrated cable. Who knows? Maybe the world is ready this time.
