MacVoices #25055: CES ShowStoppers – Clicks

Feb 6, 2025 | CES

At ShowStoppers at CES in Las Vegas we caught up with Jeff Gadway, Senior Vice President of Product Marketing for Clicks Technology. Last year their Clicks keyboard for the iPhone had just been released and created a lot of discussion. This year, the concept has proven itself with various audiences and use cases. Jeff talks about how and why it has been adopted by their users, how it improves accessibility, and the range of iPhone models they now support. We also cover the improvements to Clicks that include built-in MagSafe, a data pass-through mode that makes it CarPlay compatible, a redesigned keyboard, and some great support for Shortcuts.

Feb 5, 2025 | CES

The PLAUD table at ShowStoppers at CES in Las Vegas was tough to get to because of the interested crowds…and it shows in our interview with Elina Tsao, Head of Brand Center. People keep sticking their heads into our shot as Elina explained how their PLAUD NOTE and NotePin capture the audio of your conversations, then transcribes it and even summarizes it via AI. Both feature a generous free package of time, encrypted communication with AI in the cloud, and a very specific activation to help make others around you comfortable with when they are and are not being recorded.

MacVoices #25050: CES Showstoppers – Gardyn

Feb 4, 2025 | CES

The last thing you would expect to find at ShowStoppers at CES in Las Vegas was a garden, but that’s exactly what Gardyn was showing. Chief Experience Officer Nicolas Chikhani explained how their hydroponic system that includes cameras and lights lets you grow plants, flowers, and vegetables in a small, vertical arrangement with minimal effort. Even better, Kelby AI monitors your plants constantly and provides details on what needs to be done to keep things healthy and growing. Maintenance is minimized and enjoyment is maximized.

MacVoices #25049: CES ShowStoppers – Kanto

Feb 4, 2025 | CES

From ShowStoppers at CES in Las Vegas we got to discuss some new speakers from Kanto with Brett Smalley, Director of Marketing. REN is a powerful speaker with a variety of inputs including one that sets it apart: HDMI ARC, making it ideal for home theater uses. UKI is more of a desktop speaker that can deliver an excellent experience while you are working. Both feature a very modern, industrial design and striking colors that make them stand out from both more traditional speaker design as well as the competition.
