What’s happening this year? Here are some of the show highlights so far:

This was in addition to the announcement of PlayStation Now, which is their cloud gaming service for TVs, consoles and phones.
- Sony also announced that their Xperia Z1S smartphone will be available in the US on the T-Mobile network starting January 13th.
- Mophie is expanding its Juice Pack battery case line with the Mophie Space Pack, which is supposed to double the battery life of iPhone 5/5s and double storage capacity.
- Intel releases processors for computers with the ability to switch between Android and Windows operating systems.

- Developer Typo revealed a Bluetooth keyword case for iPhone 5/5s that fits onto the phone as a case and allows for typing with physical keys. BlackBerry is now suing Typo for patent infringement.
- BMW showed off ActiveAssist, a new car feature that will take over control of the car in emergencies. The program will steer, brake and accelerate for you when necessary.
- Smart watches and other wearable tech are growing in popularity. LG showed off its LifeBand Touch which tracks activity and sleep and can also receive email and texts.
- Corning showed off their Antimicrobial Gorilla Glass 3 for smartphones. Early demonstrations fail to show large benefits of this technology, but Corning is excited about the potential.
