Over 150,000 gadget lovers were in Las Vegas last week to check out the latest gear, software and technology at the world’s largest consumer technology trade show: CES 2012. Among the gadget lovers was our very own Connected Magazine team who were covering everything from the weirdest gear to the freshest smartphones, tablets and TVs.

Topping the list of trending topics was Long Term Evolution (LTE). Several companies showcased products that highlighted the benefits of faster wireless connections, especially for video communications. Rogers was the first carrier in Canada and one of the first in the world to launch LTE last year in Ottawa in July.

According to the Connected Magazine team, some of the biggest buzz was generated from things like 4KTV which doubles the horizontal resolution of the current top-end high-def TVs, ultrabooks, super small but powerful laptops, and Windows 8, Microsoft’s new operating system which is expected on tablets and personal devices as well as PC.

To catch up on all the news from CES 2012, check out Connected Magazine’s extensive coverage. To help you find what you’re looking for, here’s a run-down of their recent posts:

What did you think was the most exciting thing at CES 2012? Have you ever been to the event?

Hope Rogers is going to be the Nokia Lumia 900 LTE device. LTE + Windows Phone 7 = greatest combination ever!

  p.s Nokia is in charge of making the device 3G or LTE. So hopefully Nokia will make it so. ;)

Lots of exciting things…the new OLED TVs by both Samsung not that I would ever buy anything from LG after my experience with their customer service. Also, the Samsung Note and the fact that Telus is getting it soon. I sure hope Rogers will be getting it sometime soon, if not, who knows it might be a very good reason to switch :)

I also like the new Windows Phone to come especially the HTC Titan ll.

My favorite item is the new MyMO tiny mobile 4g router.
Their website is http://www.getmymo.com (it is smaller than a pack of 20 cigs)
Complete with remote Facebook login, Aircloud feature and ddual-SSID.
They say it should be on the market by June 2012, for now they have the 1002 model

  Hi Bharat, we don’t comment on devices we haven’t announced, as we may or may not carry them.
