The TDM Neo, unveiled at CES 2026, is a headphone that twists and folds into a Bluetooth speaker using magnets and a flexible headband. After CES buzz, awards, and a Kickstarter that beat its funding goal, a reviewer who tested the device for two weeks found the transforming mechanism impressive but raised doubts about whether the hybrid design delivers strong performance in both modes.
Birdbuddy has released two smart bird feeders first shown at CES 2026, now renamed the Birdbuddy Nook (formerly Birdbuddy 2 Mini) and Birdbuddy Home (formerly Birdbuddy 2).

Both are available now on Birdbuddy's site, with wider retail availability later this month.
The foldable phone category began in 2019 with Royole's FlexPai, an awkward but functional first commercial device using flexible OLED. Samsung's Galaxy Fold followed the same year but suffered widespread screen failures tied to a misunderstood protective layer, forcing a delay and redesign. Huawei took a different approach with the outward-folding Mate X, which looked elegant but left its display exposed to scratches and was never sold in the US due to sanctions.
An Engadget writer spent a day and night in Pebble's $159,000 electric RV trailer at a campsite, testing features like integrated solar panels, electric motors, and automated hitching controlled via an iPad app. The trailer includes a convertible dinette, a queen-sized Murphy bed that doubles as a desk, and a full bathroom in a compact, minimalist layout. The reviewer found the space comfortable for two people working and sleeping, though noted minor issues like a wobbly dinette table and a desk too narrow for an external monitor.

The product is priced at $249 and includes removable batteries and ear cushions.

Researchers analyzed a 2021 survey of 3,227 non-Hispanic white Americans conducted through the Cooperative Election Study (CES), a major academic polling platform run via YouGov. The team purchased questionnaire space across five CES modules to examine how demographic traits, partisanship and geography relate to support for white nationalist views. Respondents were drawn from an opt-in panel weighted to approximate a nationally representative sample of US adults.
