PICS: Bendable phones, the 'iPotty'... the latest in tech gadgets

From bendable phones to the ‘iPotty’, they showed that the gadgets of the future can be pretty, well, wacky – but some can be right on the button.

The key with much of these inventions appears to be reinventing an everyday item, or integrating mobile devices into household tools. But there were one or two that really pushed the boat out.

The biggest trade show in the Americas, the CES took place in Las Vegas, and here is our pick of the weird and wonderful crop:

    Nothing like snuggling up on a Friday night at 9.30 to watch anything but the late late.

    Anybody but Tubridy..
    I’ll literally watch anything else – even paint drying on a wall would hold more interest and that is not an exaggeration.

    Woeful show and they continue to get away with it, a bit like Sophie’s murderer I suppose. Ryan – he is talented in many ways – is not the right person to present this, and they need to sack the editorial team who choose the guests / topics. I do hope the appeal from Sophie’s son gets some results and some good comes out of this.
