Apps

Some of the best stuff we’ve seen at CES has been the tech that works with all types of content, with all manner of IP devices, and with an eye towards integration and collaboration.

Big screens, wide screens, ultra-mega-super-high-definitions screens. Touch screens, smart screens, 100 inch laser screens (laser screens?!). I’m sure it comes as no surprise that so much of what we’re seeing at CES is a newer, faster, brighter, bigger screen that enhances the home TV, computer, and movie experience.

Yiannis Yiakoumis and Te-Yuan Huang, PhD candidates from Stanford are $10,000 richer having won the inaugural Cable Show App Challenge.  Their winning app allows users to monitor their home network and prioritize traffic coming into the home.

The Cable Show App Challenge is under way at Imagine Park, with teams from Rutgers, MIT, Stanford Wellesley and Pace working to build mobile apps in 48 hours.
