USB Power Delivery offers more power through USB charging, both ways, up to 100W, 20V, 5A over USB. You will easily be able to charge your laptop with USB. Power direction can also be both ways from the same cable. Power management allows each device to take only the power it requires and to get more power when required for a given application, power levels for each device can be controlled through new more advanced USB Hub. Also coming up a bit later will be a new dual-side Type-C connector for USB (roughly the size of MicroUSB), the spec to be done by the middle of 2014, with devices to be released in 2015.
TAO-Wellness isometric exercise system
Posted by – January 7, 2014
TAO-Wellness introduces TAO, to exercise at your desk, on the airplane, while watching TV or watching the kids. Isometrics, the science of applying pressure, has been used for thousands of years to improve muscle strength, tone and circulation which is why it is so fundamental to today’s most popular fitness programs like Pilates, Plank Exercising, and the 7-Minute Scientific Workout. However, TAO takes it a step further by adding a dynamic element. It makes you vary the pressure by coaching you through your workout, and then electronically capturing the results. TAO-Wellness has coined the scientific term for this type of exercise as “variobics.”

Why CES is important
Check back for my 75+ best videos from the CES 2014 here at http://ARMdevices.net to be posted these next days, CES is an amazing place where 5000 companies all make better value for money and more interesting products than Apple/Microsoft/Oracle/IBM and about a dozen other $100+ Billion US Tech giants who all snub the CES because they don’t like competition. CES is where 5000 of the most interesting hardware startups from all over the world are exhibiting all at the same time in the USA and it’s not to be missed.
Wearables and Internet of Things are huge advances for society once they get implemented right. Sure you can always argue that all tech was invented 20-50 years ago, and that nothing new has been invented since. Yet the CES is really important because it showcases 5000 of the most interesting hardware startups from around the world, all showing their latest work all at the same time. The engineers and even the marketing representatives mostly love their own products and have lived creating them for the past many months, most often for the past many years, most of them are doing their best. And most often you can find absolutely awesome things even if you have a very boring or critical opinion about consumer electronics innovation. Sure tech innovation could go much faster if society was organized differently, perhaps, where somehow efforts were added to each other instead of done in parallel by competitors who kind of hate each other too much. But this is thankfully happening now more and more thanks to Android and the open source hardware platforms (which ARM ecosystem kind of is, ARM designs are open source, anyone can make them, they just have to licence the architecture), those things as accelerated innovation are actually visible and each CES is better than the last, clearly.

If you work in the consumer electronics industry, if you’d like to meet me in between the CES showfloor and the Las Vegas strip for lunch, or dinner to discuss your plans, ideas and get my advice on your business, you can book an hour of my time at the CES by subscribing to the ARMdevices.net Sourcing Service for $500 (which also includes a full Shenzhen based expert service to help you source the best devices out of China. That would also help cover my flight and hotel expenses. Even if you are not at CES but would like to video-chat with me after the CES, or meet me at an other conference maybe during the year (MWC? Hong Kong fair?), I would appreciate if you would signup for the sourcing service now.
Send me emails at charbax@gmail.com if you have any questions/suggestions about anything.

That banner can link to a category for your company’s products on ARMdevices.net for example http://138.2.152.197/category/companies/your-company-name/ and that would mean I will film more videos of the products from your company in priority at every conference, in Shenzhen or/and Silicon Valley if your company has any presence in any of those.
Have me video-blog in your factory:
If your company is a factory in Shenzhen, you can sign up for $500 at http://138.2.152.197/factoryfilming to have me come make some factory tour videos in your Shenzhen factory and company headquarter. The more sponsors, advertisers, sourcing customers and shenzhen factory customers I get, the sooner and more often I will return to video-blog in Shenzhen China.
