CES 2015: The Mira fitness bangle is not coming to Canada

Following a similar concept to FitBit, Withings, Jawbone and other fitness-focused wearables, the Mira by Mira is an activity tracker that aims to stand out by making their bracelets female friendly, offering sizes like petite, small and medium in a variety of colors. Mira is showcasing their fitness bracelet on the floor here at CES. 

In a conversation with MobileSyrup today, Mira has confirmed that they have no plans on launching their offering in the Canadian market. In fact, they have no plans on launching outside of the US at all. Interesting play, but maybe a smart one.

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."
