LG is bringing a Levitating Portable speaker to CES
LG’s new Bluetooth speaker is actually a 2-part speaker. There’s a subwoofer in the base (to provide bass), and a separate, smaller speaker for highs and mids.

Projectors come in all sorts of shapes and sizes these days, with some models small enough to slap on the back of a smartphone. But most projectors that are good enough to actually replace a big screen TV tend to be a bit larger. LG’s new ProBeam, though, shows that they don’t need to be […]
