Top five cool things to keep an eye on from CES

By Victoria Reitano

January 12, 2012 — (Page 1 of 2)
The Consumer Electronics Show is, well, for consumers, but there are a few things you as a developer should keep an eye on. New technologies, devices and concepts could all potentially help you make more money in the future, and who doesn't appreciate more money?

Your Home 2.0
CNET is reporting that Google's Executive Chairman, Eric Schmidt, said homes in the future can use Android to "talk" to one another. Of course, Google owns Android and you'd expect them to say that (as CNET points out), but think about it on a different level.

No matter what operating system becomes the standard for home systems, the opportunity for application developers is endless. Imagine an ecosystem where apps truly do control every aspect of our lives. What types of apps would you create for a fridge? Or a TV? Would they be the same as smartphone or desktop applications? Definitely something to keep an eye on.

Longer battery life
Motorola unveiled a smartphone that it claimed has a 21-hour battery life! Imagine the possibilities? And the best part is that it's not a brick or shaped like an earlier cell phone (you know, the kind favored by Wall St. execs in the 1980s). GigaOM offered a view of this smartphone messiah, and although the company hasn't proven the 21-hour claim, a report said it will get even the most active user through the day.

If phones had that sort of battery power, what could your application do? Could it perhaps rely less on back-end systems? Have better graphics? Better performance?
