CES 2016: Faraday Future’s concept car gets leaked ahead of CES debut

Faraday Future accidentally leaked its concept car ahead of its event (which happens about four hours from now).  Shown in its companion app, it looks a lot like the Batmobile and it just oozes technology. Its tail fin doesn’t just provide directional stability; it’s a “digital canvas display,” too. It has a quad-core drive with “over 1,000 horsepower,” can roll at a top speed of over 200mph, and promises it can go 0-60mph in less than three seconds.

The electric car startup says its insides have an “ultramodern interior and user-centric UI," which is said to “blur the boundary between the passenger and vehicle itself.” You can supposedly opt to pilot the vehicle or have it drive in autonomous mode. And from the looks of it, you can plug your iPhone into the steering wheel. We’ll find out more once they officially launch the car. You can watch the livestream here.

Movi camera helps your live stream go pro

Perfect for the Periscope and Meerkat generation, the Livestream Movi camera helps add a professional touch to your live stream videos. The camera can stream over Wi-Fi or LTE with the latter pairing with an iOS device. But it does more than just record videos, it promises to give you multi-camera effect in a single device. You can control this all with a companion app, meaning you can highlight various portions of a scene and treat each one as if it’s a separate virtual camera. And yes, you can virtual pan and zoom, too. You can juggle up to nine perspectives simultaneously (up to HD resolution).

The camera itself has a 150-degree wide-angle lens and 4K native resolution. It has digital image stabilization and stereo microphones. But you can also use the microphone on your iOS device as an external audio source via Wi-Fi. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi a/b/g/n and Bluetooth LE 4.0, which you’ll need at initial setup. It has a 16GB microSD card included for local recording and it has a microUSB port as well. It will start shipping in April at US$399 but pre-order customers will get it for $199 in black or white. A Movi Pro version will be available for $649 or $399 for pre-orders and that will come with a Movie Boost compact dock, K&M stand, universal mount, and other accessories.

CES 2016: Alcatel OneTouch to debut Windows 10 tablet

It’s not a secret that Alcatel OneTouch’s main focus has been Android phones. But they seem to want to give Windows a chance with a new Windows 10 Mobile tablet. Called the PIXI 3, it’ll be the brand’s first Windows device. The PIXI 3 will be coming to CES and what we know so far is it’s an 8-inch device that will have GPS, a TV remote control, and voice call support. It’ll have a Qualcomm chipset to support 4G connectivity. This will carry an “entry level” design, which means it won’t cost you much to own one of these. No word at the moment about price and when or where it will ship.
