Video: Demo of the dual-display YotaPhone 2 at CES 2015

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

YotaPhone 2 is a new Android smartphone that has a 1080p HD display in the front and an eInk display in the back. It is ideal for reading eBooks or for usage of apps in a low-powered, black and white setting. The front and the back are made of Gorilla Glass 3 which makes it durable. No word on Canadian availability yet but it would be great to see this device come our market.

Video: Demo of the Typo 2 keyboard cover for iPhone at CES 2015

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. We recently got to see the Typo 2, designed for the iPhone 6 in action. While the Typo 2 features a backlit keyboard that allows for quick typing, it does cover the Touch ID button. Check out a demo above.
