Wednesday, January 9, 2013 · 11:30 am · 9 Comments

“CES 2013: Apple isn’t at the show, but there’s a selection of new solutions in discussion at or around the show that may get picked up by Cupertino’s I/O execs who have been seen prowling the exhibition floor,” Jonny Evans writes for Computerworld.

Five technologies Apple users should watch at CES 2013:
• Superfast wireless (802.11ac/ 5G Wi-Fi)
• Better touch (Touch On Display)
• Wireless charging
• Intel’s new “Haswell” chip family
• Biometric security

Evans writes, “Also worth watching: USB 3.0 enhancements [and] Flexible screen technology.”

USB3 enhancements: I hope it doesn’t take as long for them to implement them as it did USB3.
Flexible screens: What are you going to do with it until there is a flexible battery? It would be cool to throw a piece of “paper” down on a conference table and have it be your iPad, except how would you poke and drag while holding it in mid-air?
Everything else: I think they are already working on ‘em.

Wireless charging won’t make sense until you don’t have to put your device on some kind of base. Right now it saves you all of 2 seconds it takes to plug it in.

  Wireless charging isn’t so good in a car when you go round a corner.

  re: wireless charging
  Don’t name it M5 and don’t walk between it and the power source. Daystrom, out.

    True. Good point. Unless the base unit has to be plugged in.

  Biometric security is a must-have for mobile payments via NFC to take off
