Taking a short break before I go see Cooler Master in about an hour. Here are a few things from today.

Continuing mobile stuff, a lot of focus on protecting the devices. This ranges from skins to glass screen protectors. Radio Shack is even getting into the business with a line of glass screen protectors.

OtterBox and Pelican are a few that are designing cases to protect iPhone and S3 from all sorts of damage. Problem with these is it's only certain devices and specific looks.

Now there are companies that are going to implement water protection at the manufacturing level making it 100% water proof. Many demonstrations of phones being used and then dropped into water, beer, wine and kool aid. Then taken out wiped off with a towel and continuing to be used. This is highly interesting and something to watch for. Sony has their new phone all set to use this process.

But what about other devices and ones that don't implement this into the manufacturing process. Enter Hz0. For $60 you can send them your phone and they'll water proof it for you and mail it back. It takes them 30 minutes to do it, and then you have your shipping timeframe. So fastest would be....3 days. 1 day there, 1 day to protect, and 1 day ship back. They hope to get Kiosks at local malls and other retailers so this can be immediately.

Afterglow
New headphones this spring and fall starting at $19.99 all the way up to $199.99 for the big and best set. These have glow colors and sound great. Designed for all types of devices. The big set, includes a retractable microphone and will have three different sound modes to suit all needs. In addition the ears will have a glow to them and will have many colors and different brightness's.

Rosewill
Lots of new stuff was shown at their suite today.
9200 Mechanical Keyboard. This is a dual color back-lit mechanical, modes are Red/Green/Off. Change the lighting of the WASD keys to the color of your choice, and also change the brightness from 5 different levels. Using Black, Red, Blue or Brown Cherry switches. Many different feels for your choice, quiet or click-clack, soft touch or "heavy" touch.

Throne is a new super tower case, with 2 x 140mm front intake, 1 x 230mm side, 2 x 140mm top exhause, and 1 x 140mm rear exhaust. Side panel fan can be converted to 4 x 120mm. 2 additional 140mm can be installed on 3.5" drive chassis. Will have USB 3, front fan LED on/off switch. This will be availalble in Black or White. 3 x 5.25" drive bay, and 10 x 3.5" or 2.5" drive bay. Top area can hold a water cooling radiator.

Hercules 1600W power supply! Fully modular, retail is $499, on sale for $379! Lots of power Smile

They are also getting into wireless routers, solar lights, and many other devices. I'll provide more when I get done with the next meeting. More to come from Rosewill!
