The annual electronics love-fest known as CES has just taken over the Las Vegas Convention Center yet again, and in addition to all the biggest announcements of the show, there are plenty of smaller ones piquing our interest. Among the more neat-sounding ones that have surfaced:
Lost luggage?
A company called Trakdot will offer a “palm-sized” luggage tracker that you can slip into your suitcase and use with pretty much any cellphone. According to the company’s announcement, after you register your gadget on Trakdot’s website, it will send your phone a text or email letting you know where it is (you can also use the company’s smartphone app or check your suitcase’s location on Trakdot’s site). If you’re using the app with the Trackdot, it will send you an alert when your bag is near you on a luggage carousel at the airport, the company says. The company says each Trakdot can be linked to several phones. The device is expected to be available for $50 in March; it will require a $9 activiation fee and a $13 annual fee for service.
