How many baby carriages have a generator and phone charger?

Every year 4Moms seems to come with some great tech to help take care of babies. The latest shown at CES is their Moxie Carriage. It's a high-tech and stylish stroller with unique features like an LCD dashboard that displays speed, distance, temperature and calories burned.

It's suitable for a child from birth to 55 lb and offers a full coverage canopy with pop out shade and UPF 30 protection. It's said to grow with your baby: carriage, parent-facing seat, and forward-facing seat modes and 5 position adjustable handlebar. The battery is self-charging via generators in the rear wheels.

Keep track of keys, phones and a lot more with the new Pixel TrackR

Chad walked me over to visit the TrackR booth so he could show me their newly unveiled new Pixel TrackR.The Pixel operates like the TrackR Bravo to help you track and find lost items, but it's smaller, lighter, and – this is big --- it has an LED light! Yep, so now in addition to the a sound (said to be louder in the Pixel than the Bravo) the LED turns on when activated to make finding items in the dark easier. We didn't talk about it in the video, but there's also a new TrackR wallet 2.0. The company says it's one of the thinnest trackers on the market at just 2mm, or about the thickness of two credit cards. TrackR wallet 2.0 uses new carbon fiber technology to achieve its thinness while maintaining all of the functionality of TrackR bravo, including replaceable CR2016 batteries. TrackR pixel will be available to pre-order for $24.99 and will begin shipping in Spring 2017. TrackR wallet 2.0 will be available to pre-order for $29.99 and will be available in late Spring 2017.

Smaller is better, especially when packing AC adapters.

The folks at Kado were able to generate a lot of attention with their compact phone charger and their notebook charger. It's almost a joke sometimes that you can carry a tiny phone or a mini laptop, but you also need to travel with over-sized AC chargers to get them running. Well Kado is changing that with two devices they showed at CES 2017 Eureka Park. One is a small USB phone or tablet charger with fold-flat AC prongs. It's flat enough to fit into a wallet. It comes in two interconnecting pieces that hook together. One of the charger, and the other is 2' of USB charging cable on a mini-spool. They make a slightly larger charger with enough juice to power your laptop. That one doesn't fit in your wallet, but it also has fold-able prongs and when closed could fit into a jacket packet. They're expect out in the Spring. The littlest one has a price of $50 and the larger laptop charger is expected to be $100. You can find out more about them and sign-up for updates at the company website.

A new take on tiny keyboards via Lenovo.

With a mini-keyboard being an important part of a 'home entertainment system' Lenovo has come to market with a very innovative product. Called the Lenovo 500 Multimedia Controller, it looks like a traditional mini-keyboard, but it's not. Even though this wireless device fits in your hand like so many other keyboards, you won't find a dedicated mouse pad. And why not? Because they've designed it so the entire keyboard is the touch pad. Hit the keys with your thumbs (or any fingers) to type, or run your fingers over Lenovo 500 media Controller entire surface to scroll, open and close windows, etc. But wait, there's more, Lenovo says their 500 Multimedia Controller has a larger-than-average wireless range of 65+ feet. MSRP is price is under $55.00 and it will be available from starting April 2017.

Two Win 10 Computers for under $300 - huh?

InFocus keeps coming out with new versions of its Kangaroo brand mini-Windows 10 computers. At CES 2017 I saw the newest addition, the Kangaroo Notebook. It's a way to keep your personal and family computer activities separate. Or parents and kids computer use separate. And I'm talking about really separate, like each having their very own removable Kanagroo Mini stick. Yes, the Kangaroo’s Notebook comes as a package with two modular PC Minis that can be swapped in and out of the laptop dock. Each mini is a self-contained PC running Windows 10. Inside, the modules are 2GB of RAM, 32GB of eMMC flash storage, and a quad-core 1.44GHz Intel Atom “Cherry Trail” x5-Z8350. There's also an SD card slot on each mini which accepts cards up to 512GB.The dock offers an HD 11.6-inch display (max resolution of 1366 x 768),full keyboard, trackpad, battery, webcam, microphone, speakers, and two USB ports, one 2.0 and one 3.0. While 2GB of RAM is not much, it works fine as long as you understand this notebook is for basic computing chores, web searching, viewing videos, but not video editing or intense video gaming. 

Available at Newegg. Suggested retail is $299.99.
