And watch for new developments in 2012.

Here it is, more than a month at CES and the Lunch at Piero’s sponsor hits just keep on coming.  Here’s a nice story on ABC News Michael Ferrara, aka the TechnoDad, who highlights a bunch of Lunch at Piero’s sponsors on ABC News including eeColor, Hannspree, AOC, and Escort.

Escort demonstrated the PASSPORT IQ at the Lunch at PIero’s innovator and press event during CES. Some very clever engineering enabled them to combine radar detector with full GPS NAV in a single, highly attractive device. With 5″ full-color touchscreen, 3D maps, voice-guided turn-by-turn directions, over speed limit alerts, red light / speed camera alerts, speed trap warnings and full radar and laser gun alerts, the all-new PASSPORT iQ™ establishes the standard for protecting consumers from unwanted tickets and guiding them safely to their destination. www.escortinc.#mce_temp_url#com.

It’s been ten years since USB 2.0 came on the scene. Now VIA Labs, the only company in the world to have a complete USB 3.0 solution with host, hub and device controller products, is quickly setting industry standards.    At the Lunch at Piero’s innovator and press event during CES, VIA Labs explained how today’s massive high def video, high megapixel pictures and other rich huge content are commonplace on cameras and other devices, making it important to have a USB 3.0 host controller in the first place to enable data to flow swiftly and make full use of USB 3.0 devices. And unlike USB 2.0, USB 3.0 is capable of simultaneous transmitting and receiving. VIA Labs makes it faster and better. www.via-labs.com
