Wilson Electronics announces Sleek 4G signal booster with multi-carrier support






If you've ever found yourself on a lone road in the middle of nowhere with zero bars of reception on your phone, it's quite likely that you've entertained the idea of grabbing a signal booster. Wilson Electronics, one of the best known manufacturers of such devices, is introducing its latest Sleek 4G booster at CES. What makes this version different from the models launched just a few months ago? Instead of needing separate boosters for AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile, it's now capable of supporting phones, tablets and hotspots on all three, as well as legacy signals for all other US carriers. Head to the press release for more details.

Fulton's latest innovation: a tablet that also functions as a wireless charging mat









Fulton Innovation has been showing off advances in wireless power at CES for years now, and while the technology still isn't exactly mainstream, it got a bit of a boost in 2012. High-profile phones like the Nokia Lumia 920, HTC Droid DNA, and Nexus 4 are all compatible with the Qi standard that Fulton supports, and we'd expect to see even more devices include the feature in 2013.

Sources: Sony could launch world's first 4K OLED TV at CES




Sony backed away from OLED TVs by showing off its Crystal LED TV prototype at CES last year, but it looks like the company could be competing with LG and Samsung this time around. Sources tell us that Sony will show off a 4K OLED TV at CES 2013, meaning it could be our first chance to see an Ultra High-Definition OLED display. LG said last year that it plans to launch a 4K OLED set in 2013, but we haven't heard anything since.
Sony was the first company to announce a commercial OLED TV back in 2007, but its XEL-1 set was only 11 inches big; unsurprisingly, it failed to make much of a splash in the consumer space. The company did tell us at last year's CES that it was continuing to work on OLED technology — we'll see if this is the year that it returns to the field.
