WattUp

WattUp wire-free charging technology is the centerpiece of the offerings from Energous. With their new transmitter system based on the new DA4100 WattUp wireless power transmitter chip, Energous looks forward to wireless charging of enabled devices. Imagine never having to worry about an uncharged phone or waiting for your tablet to finish charging because you remembered to plug it in five minutes before you needed to leave. With an anticipated range of up to 20 feet from a transmitter,

WattApp technology cuts the cord and puts true mobility into mobile gadgets. Energous anticipates that each transmitter can handle multiple devices, so that workplace productivity is not slowed by dead phones and coffee houses can keep customers tapping away all day.

TrackR

When I lose my keys, it’s almost always in my house. How else did I get here and get in? But too often getting out is delayed by a frantic search for keys. If only I’d attached a TrackR when I had the things in hand. In a market where size matters, TrackR released the Pixel this spring, the smallest and lightest key finder available.

The Pixel is both smaller and louder than previous TrackR models and features an LED light to help locate the item at the bottom of a bag or in the dark. The Pixel has a longer Bluetooth range and the app can notify “TrackR Crowd Locate” network, in case you’re out of range or you’ve also lost your cell phone. A single episode of hunting for keys or wallet justifies the price of a Pixel.
