We were fortunate enough to speak with the good people from MultiTouch Ltd. at CES 2012 and discuss their 55″ Interactive display. This product showed some real promise in the business sector for those who could afford the near $20,000 price tag.
To help expand to a new clientele, MultiTouch has just announced their latest offering at the Integrated Systems Europe trade show — the MultiTaction 42″ Display. This product will come in two different models, the MultiTaction Cell 42” Embedded Display which comes with a built in Windows 7 computer, making it a stand alone product ready for deployment. They’ll also be selling the 42″ Stackable Display which supports up to 24 units, allowing the owner to create a gigantic interactive display. These products have the same capabilities as the MultiTaction Cell 55 that we previously wrote about.

Fans of the long lived Final Fantasy franchise are busy today. They are hiding in darkly lit man-made caves to provide the optimum gaming experience, while they delve into the latest installment from Square Enix. Final Fantasy XIII-2 for XBox 360 and PS3 is now available at your local retailer for the standard video game price of $59.99.
This game claims to exceed expectations of Final Fantasy fanatics, and will be not only adding on to the old style of awesome, but will also be bringing in some new elements. Players can experience many different events in the story through choosing different paths while playing — similar to the good old Choose Your Adventure books we all know and love. For us geeks, we all love the concept of time travel and in FFXIII-2 you won’t be lacking on that front. Players will be able to travel to locations at different points in time to experience different looking worlds.

During our time at CES2012 we saw several cellphone accessories that were great, but many lacked that “wow” effect. Introducing iPowerUP, who was at this year’s CES promoting products that have been in the works for several years. While this was their first year at CES, we don’t think it will be their last. Broadly speaking, iPowerUP’s hardware feels solid and we have very few negatives to share on our review of the PwrVault (iPower Charging Case).

If you were to ask a member of the allGeek team what the one thing they saw the most of at CES 2012 was, the answer would most definitely be “iPhone accessories.” Apple has created a wonderful piece of technology, and everyone wants in on the profit. Amongst the sea of cases and mini-speakers, a small company called “iPowerUp” seems to have risen above the rest.
iPowerUp has a full range of products for almost every type of phone. Cases, batteries, speakers, wireless charging, projectors, and even solar panels are on their resume. We were very thankful to be gifted a battery-toting PwrVault, so that’s what we’ll be talking about today.

In the midst of all the CES craziness, came Qualcomm’s 28nm Snapdragon S4 processor. While we knew details well before CES, we know more now. The S4 Snapdragon processor will be among the first 28nm chips to hit the market with a built-in Adreno 225 GPU.
The image shown above is from NenaMark2 where it’s said to be running on a screen resolution of 1024 x 600. For those who don’t know, this resolution is typically found on tablets. The 54.90 score given to the msm8960 is very comparable to the 54.35 that was given to the Samsung Galaxy S II LTE, and for good reason – the Galaxy S II is sporting an 800 x 480 resolution.
This is a tiny glimpse of what’s to come for phones in 2012.

The new Google Privacy Policy will go into effect on March 1st, 2012 and the goal is to simplify things for the users. This will be done by combining policies from across Google’s 60 properties into one that is unified and deals with a user’s whole “Google experience”. To sum this up in simple terms, Google will soon be able to treat you as one user across all of their sites.
Many people are in fear that this means Google is now planning to create some diabolical dossier containing all of your most intimate habits. You should definitely know that in actuality, no additional information is being collected than has previously been done. Users who are still concerned should remember — you can always chat “off the record” in Gmail or browse in “incognito mode” while browsing in Chrome to avoid personal information from being recorded.
