Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.This year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, January 6-9, is spotlighting new fitness and wellness innovations. Among the products on display are a GPS-powered sports watch that measures heart rate and calories burned, a wireless pedometer that allows you to post updates on Twitter and Facebook, and a cord tamer for your iPod nano.
The IDEAL LIFE Step Manager, a wireless pedometer with remote interactive communications, allows you to send your stats, personalized messages, and even graphics to friends or social networking sites in real time. Set to be released spring 2011, the device will sell for under $85/€65.
Also debuting at CES is the Nike+ SportWatch GPS, which will launch on April 1. The new GPS sports watch, powered by TomTom, tracks pace, distance, calories burned, and heart rate, and just won two CES Innovation Awards. No details on price yet released.
Runners, walkers, or cyclists who rely on the iPod nano can now tame the long, annoying cord with the Cord Shrink by Innovelis. Only compatible with the new iPod nano Multi-Touch, the gadget attaches to the iPod and holds the cord neatly coiled like a garden hose. Sells for $14.99/€11.5. Release date not yet announced.
This year, CES will also introduce the "Fitness TechZone," an area dedicated to showcasing high-tech innovations and tools for sports enthusiasts, for the first time. Look for devices such as digital weight scales and fitness companions, software programs and applications, and peripherals and games for gaming systems.
Every year the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) features thousands of exhibitors, and last year's event attracted more than 120,000 attendees.
