Now here’s something that didn’t get much attention at CES, yet has the potential to radically change the way you live your life. Nokia were showing off a new gadget in what can only be described as stealth mode – stealth, simply because although it was on show, nobody seemed to spot it!

The gadget in question is straight from the Nokia Research Center, and is called the Locate Sensor (with a name like that, you can tell it’s from their research arm rather than their marketing department!). All it is,simply, is a little gizmo that you can attach to things, and that interacts with your phone according to the distance it is away from you.

Why is this so important?…

Smartphone company Palm shocked the world of CES 2009 last week with the launch of the Palm Pre, its first new smartphone that brings the company kicking and screaming into the 21st Century. Palm has been a huge player in the smartphone for years, but has been seemingly going backwards for sometime now, allowing its many competitors to literally eat its lunch.

All that, though, changed at a stroke. The Palm Pre is a brand new smartphone with a user interface so slick, it’s the first smartphone that can genuinely be called an iPhone killer. It won the “Best In Show” award at CES, and as the video below shows, it’s one amazing new smartphone.

More details after the jump.
