A German company, eBlocker, is showing an eponymous new product/service here at CES that blocks even more of that information to, "blocks all ads, stops all trackers, hide[s] your IP – and lets you surf truly anonymously – on ALL your devices." The company offers two versons of the service - eBlocker Pro and eBlocker Family. Despite their names, Pro is meant for individual users. Family offers support up to 10 simultaneous users. A company representative said that there are plans for an Enterprise version with enough multi-user support to satisfy larger firms.

The device itself is plug and play, requiring no software installation or configuration.

The company will just be launching its Kickstarter campaign on January 20. You can also pre-order the device now, at a 50% discount, on their Web site. The eBlocker Pro Pro is available for pre-order for $99 ($199 after launch) and Family is available for $129 ($249 after launch).

Once you purchase the device, the Pro version comes with one year of software updates included, with additional years available at $49.00. The Family version comes with lifetime updates - "either yours or ours," joked a company representative. On a more serious note, the representative noted that their software is often updated daily to keep up with the changes in ad tracking technology. Without the update subscription device owners can still download and install the updates manually for free...if they remember to do it.

For the more ambitious of you out there, the eBlocker software is currently available as a free download that runs on a Raspberry Pi or Banana Pi computer.

Ampy Move

The Ampy move is billed as, "the world's first motion-charger". It converts the kinetic energy generated by your own movement to charge a the Move's battery. A USB connector on the device allows you to charge any other device  that uses a USB charging cable. The Move can also be charged by plugging into a wall outlet. The company claims that one hour of exercise translates into five hours of standby time.

There is also a companion app (free) that helps you track the calories you've burned while charging the battery.

Ampy's Move is available for $99.00 from their own website. An accessory pack that also includes an arm/leg band and holster/clamp to help you wear the device while you are moving/generating charge on the device is available for an additional $30.

AmpWare

AmpWare's crank case offers a different take on user-generated charge with a protective case that has an integrated crank/generator that is turned to charge the phone. Another departure for their case/charger is that in order to keep the weight down, the AmpWare case does not contain a battery. The crank/generator charges the phone's own battery directly. The company claims that 5 minutes of cranking yields up to one hour of use or up to five hours of standby time.

The AmpWare case is available for pre-order at the company's site (for delivery in March 2016) for $79.00.

CulCharge

The CulCharge power bank is a little more traditional-type power bank in that it has an integrated battery that is charged via USB and a wall outlet. Its small size is the first thing that sets it apart. It weighs in at only 1.3 ounces (38 grams). The second is that because the charging connector is integrated into the device, you have to slect either the iOS or Android version when you buy it.CulCharge can also serve as a data transfer cable to connect your phone to your computer. Its 1000maH battery will charge an iPhone 6 a little more than one full charge.

The CulCharge is designed to be added to your keychain so it's something you can always carry and have available when you need it. So are USB drives though, and I can't remember the last time I saw anyone carry one on their keychain. To further incentivize adding the device to your keychain, CulCharge also incudes a flashlight.

The CulCharge is available for purchase from the company's webite in iOS ($39.99) and Android ($32.99) versions.

Sandman Clocks

Sandman Clocks is offering a new twist on the standard nightstand clock most of us probably currently have in our bedrooms in one form or another. The Sandman Clock's most prominent feature are the large red LCD digits displaying the time. The clock auto-adjusts the brightness of the time display so that they dim when it's darker, so as to not illuminate the room. (The brightness can also be adjusted manually.) The clock's second most prominent feature are the four USB charging ports on the rear of the case. Three of these are 1.0 amp, suitable for charging most phones or other small devices. The fourth USB port is a 2.1 amp, high power, port suitable for charging tablets or larger devices.

The clocks design also features a large snooze bar with a contoured indentation that makes it easy to find with your eyes closed. Slots molded into the case's bottom help to manage the charging cable of plugged in devices.

The Sandman Clock is currently available for pre-order for $29.00.

Sensorwake offers an alarm clark that will wake you with no audible alarm.

Some of the available apps include: a stock ticker, And for businesses: Facebook and Twitter follower counters.The device can also tap into If-This-Then-That recipes to pull informaiton in from other sources, as well.

The device has the potential for changing the way enterprises produce and deliver professional education training.

Movi lets you:

• Edit while you record.
• Track movement of specific people in the frame .
• Pan and zoom remotely (using the iOS app interface; connected via the device’s on-board wi-fi or other available network).

• With its “built in people detection, ” Movi can even making tracking and editing decisions automatically.
• Access up to nine virtual HD cameras (all generated from the one device). This allows the user to cut between different camera angles…even though there is only one camera.
• Store video locally with Movi’s built-in 16GB of storage.

With the Movi, small continuing education providers can stream and record high quality, professional-looking video with just one employee who is comfortable with the “pinch-to-zoom” technology of iOS devices.

Livetream is a Brooklyn, NY-based company that provides a platform for its customers to stream high resolution video of live events over the Internet. So, it’s no surprise, that Movi users can easily stream their event live with an optional Livestream subscription (starting at less than $9 per month), or share their final, edited via social networks (at no additional charge).

PC World is reporting battery life at approximately one hour of recording – reportedly extendable to up to 10 hours with an optional battery pack (that also serves to waterproof the Movi). Other reports set the price for this accessory at $150.

In a press release announcing the device, Livestream said Movi which will ship in early April at a retail price of $399. However, Movi is currently available for a limited time pre-order period at the discounted price of $200 at getmovi.com.
