A look at three new gadgets the Giz Wiz found at CE Week, a mid-year mini-look at new Consumer Electronics.

The 360 Security Camera That Sees All Around Your Car. 

The Waylens Secure360 4G is a revolutionary automotive security camera designed to give drivers unprecedented peace of mind. Waylens Secure360 4G provides a true 360° view of what happens in and around your vehicle, automatically storing imagery to the cloud for on-demand access. Easily monitor your vehicle and its surroundings in real-time and get instant notifications of any event, so that you can know, show and protect what’s important. It will let you know what’s happening in and around your car in real-time from any location (where you have a Wifi or cell connection, depending on the model you own.) It can show evidence of accidents, theft and other events with crystal-clear video. And it can protect your car, your driving record and yourself from threats and misinformation. True 360° Vision Gives You the Total Picture. A WiFi version of the Secure360 should be about $249.95. This camera is not available for purchase yet. It should be out in the fall.

Meet Smartoo, Said To Be 'The World's First Smart Portable Desk'.

(This device won't be available until December so the info here is via the company) Those who travel for work know that the struggle is real when it comes to finding a comfy place to use your computer. During a flight delay, we witnessed people struggling to work on their laptops by resting them on their laps and knees. We even saw one MacBook get dropped. We wanted to make work more productive and efficient for the frequent traveler which is why we created SMARTOO; the world´s first mobile smart desk that turns your suitcase into a workstation in seconds. It's under $100 which includes a 4200 mAh batery bank that slides right into its own compartment on the SMARTOO travel desk. If you'd like to back this project it's on Indiegogo right now where you can preorder one for a lot less money than suggested retail. (As of 7/19/17)

A New Spin On Fidget Spinners.

You thought perhaps fidget spinners were on their way out? Well, according to DE World, the parent company of Spin-Tech, we haven't seen the end of 'fidget spinners' yet. At CE Week they were showing a hand spinner that works in conjunction with a double sided suction suction tube to transform a spinner into a phone stand and a phone grip. So when you're done spinning, you have another use for the device. And the company says their Fidget Tech spinner features a concave center cap that sits perfectly on any finger allowing for perfect balance. And that their long lasting ball bearings keeps you spinning far longer - effortlessly spins for at least 2 minutes. But wait, there's more. On the way from Fidget-Tech, as you'll see in the video, are spinners that can also be audio sharing devices, USB sharing devices, and even one that is a flash drive device! The simple versions with be $10 to $20 or so, and the real trick ones haven't been officially priced yet.
