The original Typo keyboard for the iPhone was somewhat controversial in that it looked and felt like a BlackBerry keyboard and that resulted in a famous lawsuit which went in BlackBerry's favour.

Video: First look at VW's Golf R Touch multi-touch smartcar at CES 2015

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Las Vegas - Volkswagen is a first time exhibitor here at the International Consumer Elexctronics show and they certainly made a huge splash during their first keynote. The automotive giant talked about their eGolf electric vehicle as well as various technologies that are coming to their line of cars. The kicker was showing off a smart concept of their Golf R sports hatchback.

Named a Golf R Touch, the car has all the specs and performance expected of a modern day GTI but also features a wide range of multi-touch, haptic, and even motion control features a la Microsoft's Kinect. I was one of the first journalists who was able to get in the backseat and record a working demo of the car's interior, navigation, and even gesture based mood-lighting features. The Golf R Touch also features integration with Android devices as well as Apple's CarPlay for a truly cross platform solution coming to market this year. Aside from this, parking assist is onboard and the Golf R Touch will be able to talk to smartphones, tablets and even smartwatches easily. This migh just be the "People's Tesla."

YouTube to add support for 360-degree video uploads

It shouldn’t be too far off before you can record those 360-degree videos and put them up on YouTube. The video streaming service confirmed they are working on ways to support this format. Cameras like the Ricoh Theta, Kodak SP360, and Bulbcam are a few of the devices that can record these fully immersive videos. YouTube is looking to take the results from these different cameras and make them work. They haven’t given too many details yet but it’s good to know that this is in the pipeline as well.
