The Aladdin is a ceiling light projector from Xgimi that combines the technology of Popin, a Japanese company that Xgimi acquired. The Aladdin has the same specifications as the Popin Aladdin 2 Plus, which sells for about US$897 (around CA$1,199).

The Aladdin can be installed on any standard light socket and project a 1080p image of up to 100 inches. The projector also has a built-in lamp that can be controlled by the remote or the Xgimi app. However, Aladdin does not work with Matter or other smart home platforms.

Jackery has created a rooftop tent that can also power your car and appliances with solar energy. The tent is currently a concept on display at CES, but Jackery plans to launch it by the end of 2024.

The tent has retractable solar panels that produce up to 1000W when the car is parked and the tent is open. Its solar panels can generate up to 4.96kWh per day in the western US, or 4kWh in the east, according to Jackery’s estimates.

Clicks: The iPhone case that brings back the BlackBerry keyboard

Photo: Clicks

Clicks, a UK-based company, is launching a new iPhone accessory at CES 2024 in Las Vegas. It’s a case with a built-in physical keyboard that lets you type with more feedback and accuracy. It makes it look like you're attaching a BlackBerry keyboard to the bottom of your phone. 

The keyboard fits snugly at the bottom of the case without blocking the screen or the phone's side. It also adds some length to the phone, but you can still see everything on the display as you type. The keyboard plugs into the iPhone’s Lighting or USB-C port, depending on your model, and doesn’t interfere with charging. It doesn’t use Bluetooth or batteries, so you don’t have to worry about pairing or power either.
