Weekly Highlights: No iCar From Apple, Sony Teases Cloud-Based Cable Service And More
The 2014 Consumer Electronics Show kicked off the second week of January, but some of the biggest stories had nothing to do with the show.
For example, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) acquired a one-man startup called SnappyLabs. At the same time, Global Equities Research analyst Trip Chowdhry speculated that Apple will not go further into the automobile market.
Apple may have been a CES no-show, but Sony (NYSE: SNE) used the event to promote its latest game console, PlayStation 4, along with two new services. One of them could provide a cloud-based alternative to cable.
Ford (NYSE: F) and Domino's Pizza (NYSE: DPZ) teamed up to allow customers to order pizzas seamlessly while driving.
Samsung's (OTC: SSNLF) automotive future was teased by analysts.
Gartner (NYSE: IT) revealed its 2014 sales predictions for mobile devices.
And IBM (NYSE: IBM) announced that it would pour more than $1 billion into the new Watson Group.
Disclosure: At the time of this writing, Louis Bedigian had no position in the equities mentioned in this slideshow.
