Fleksy is an interesting take on the traditional mobile on-screen keyboard. Designed for typing while looking away, Fleksy analyzes your typing habits and customizes its replacement patterns to match your writing. This could certainly help out when typing in a situation where you shouldn't.

The keyboard also offers larger letters, so if you have issues seeing a smaller screen, this might be worth a shot. You can download a free 30 day trial of the keyboard on iOS or Android, including the Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch. After the trial, the keyboard will only cost you $3.99.

DataWind displayed a new product that was a little surprising to all of us: the Ubislate. This new Android-powered tablet runs a Cortex A7 dual-core processor, runs Android Jellybean and comes complete with a 7" screen, Wi-Fi, micro SD slot and 3 hour battery.

Oh, and the product line starts at only $37.99. Now, of course with that price comes a few oddities. For example, the device offers mini USB, as opposed to the industry standard micro USB. This means none of your current cords will have any value on this device. Also, the screen's resolution is on 800x480, which is significantly lower than standard. In addition, the camera is a 0.3MP sensor, which is lower than the cameras found on the cheapest non-smartphone prepaid devices.

Now, this is not to say this device doesn't have a market. For example, there is definitely a place for a device like this in retail displays, in payment systems or point of sales systems where none of the bonuses are relevant.

Blue Microphones have long been the go-to brand for podcasters. Many new podcasters grab an entry Blue to get their show started because of the low price and high value. With USB input it means digital recording is much easier and a sub-$100 price point, anyone can afford the product.

One category within the podcasting audio market that has, so far, been left out from Blue is headphones. The company announces that this will no longer be the case, as they are looking very carefully into the headphone space. They believe that mobile devices don't have the power to run big headphones, and they believe they have a solution for power and quality.

There is currently not a product on the market, but they expect to have some announcements about specific headphones over the next few months.

Tony Anscombe from AVG and PLuGHiTz Live's online security advisor stopped by the live booth to discuss AVG's PrivacyFix product. Adding to his product announcement on F5 Live. This product has the ability to help recommend your privacy settings, because we all know understanding what the settings on Facebook mean is difficult. AVG is helping to make this process easy for everyone. At CES, they added to the capabilities with their family mode.

In addition to the social settings, PrivacyFix also allows you to protect yourself from Wi-Fi tracking with the Wi-Fi Do Not Track. This gives you the ability to turn off Wi-Fi when you are not in a place you have marked as a Wi-Fi safe zone. You can pick up this product for iOS and Android for free.

For years, first person shooter players have been creating physical sights for their games in an attempt to improve their accuracy. With a piece of Scotch tape and a red Sharpie comes some help, but the dot often gets lost into the gaming environment.

What doesn't get lost is a bright, glowing red light, just like an actual red dot sight. With that idea in mind, HipShotDot created a USB-powered red dot sight that can stick onto your television and give you a physical sight for the game.

With a physical sight comes the ability to use an extra accessory for your most powerful guns, instead of having to use an in-game sight. You also don't have the problem of losing the sight when an EMP grenade goes off, keeping your accuracy up. Check the product out in the video, then pick yours up here for $29.95.

In an odd and incredibly cool combination of technologies, FLIR showed off an iPhone case that, with some magic and infrared technology, creates a thermal imaging camera right on the iPhone.

But this is a little more complex and a little more awesome than just thermal. The camera combines the thermal image with the actual visible image to create a truly unique and even more useful image than either technology on its own.

The product is not yet available, but is slated to launch at a retail price of $349.

The DNA Pro Wireless headphones weren't all Monster Products had to show Chris Montera. They also wanted him to see a $4.5 million Lamborghini, whose sound system had been completely made over with Pure Monster Sound products.

Jaramy Kaufman from Findlay Customs got to cut into this car and install 13 speakers, including individual left and right speakers for driver and passenger seats. The riders also have the ability to listen to their music through headphones, each with its own custom sound source.

Only 7 of this vehicle were made, but only this one has a Pure Monster Sound experience.
