Additionally Frank Gorman from DailyRecord.com spent last week in Las Vegas at the Consumer Electronics Show. In his final guest post, he lists the best gadgets he saw during the expo. With 170,000 attendees and more than 3,600 exhibitors at CES 2015, one might overlook a gadget or two. #9 on the list: NXT-ID's WOCKET Smart Wallet - This electronic wallet from NXT-ID, a mobile security company, can hold electronic versions of hundreds of credit and other cards yet is small enough to fit in your back pocket. It has a card reader, scanning capability, and a physical "universal" card. Credit cards can be swiped through the card reader to capture the electronic data needed to pay by credit card, meaning you can leave your cards at home. Other cards and identifications can be scanned into this smart wallet, too. For now, this can only be pre-ordered on the NXT-ID website.  http://thedailyrecord.com/2015/01/13/the-top-10-gadgets-from-ces-2015/#ixzz3OlKGNQJM
