The main focal point of the opening day of CES 2015 was CES Unveiled – a precursor to the major press conferences taking place today [5th January] and the first glimpse at some of the early product innovations.
Bluetooth accessories specialist SuperTooth has joined the multi-room market with its own system that streams stereo audio to up to five speakers, while the "floating" Air2 Bluetooth speaker made a notable first appearance.

It seems Seiki will be the first manufacturer to come to market with Freeview Connect-enabled TVs - the company's range of models, between 32in and 50in, is due to go on sale in Q3 2015.
