The latest report from Cisco reveals how the number of devices connected to Internet of Things (IoT) will increase from 15 billion today to 50 billion in 2020. Another report byJuniper Research claims the figures could go as high as 38 billion by 2020. We aren’t sure if these predictive numbers could possibly be true, but it is certain that IoT is big and here to stay. For those not in the know-how, Internet of Things or IoT can simply be put as objects in your daily life that can be connected or controlled via the Internet.

The electronics industry’s other three-letter gadget show after CES sprawls across dozens of buildings in this city’s fairgrounds. Just like at January’s gathering in Las Vegas, the hardware on display spans a dizzying variety of categories, from wall-filling TVs to iPhone cases, and it’s easy to get lost among crowds that exceed 150,000.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is coming to the NFL in a big way. On Thursday, when the defending Superbowl XLIX champion New England Patriots host the Pittsburgh Steelers to open the 2015 football season, each player will be equipped with a set of RFID sensors about the size of a quarter embedded in his shoulder pads, each emitting unique radio frequencies. 

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) has recalled a further 7,810 Jeeps affected by a widely reported bug that allows an attacker to wirelessly seize control of the vehicle. The recall affects the variants of the 2015 model of the FCA’s Jeep Renegade sports utility vehicle with a 6.5-inch touchscreen, more than half of which FCA says are still in dealer hands.

We first came across Neato Robotics' XV-11 robot vacuum cleaner at CES 2010, and the company has been rolling out additions to its lineup ever since, introducing the "pet-strength" XV-21 in 2012, its Signature Series in 2013 and the Botvac line in 2014. Neato is showing the latest dust-sucker to join its Botvac team at IFA in Berlin. The Botvac Connected, as the name suggests, packs Wi-Fi connectivity for control from a user's smartphone.

Intel’s project to turn Dublin into the world’s first internet of things city has begun with Croke Park, where over 70 companies, as well as researchers from DCU and Arizona State University, today converged to figure out how they can use the stadium to trial smart technologies. Croke Park is the third largest stadium in Europe and the focal point for Ireland’s Gaelic games tradition.

Johnson & Johnson’s Listerine brand is rolling out a new mobile application that enables blind people to “feel” when a person is smiling by tapping facial recognition technology, underscoring the opportunities for consumer packaged goods brands on mobile.

 There’s been a lot of speculation about Apple developing its own car, engaged in a semi-public employee poaching battle with Tesla, and assigning hundreds of employees to the codename Project Titan. But it may be best to be patient, as Piper Jaffreyanalyst Gene Munster, a noted fan of the company, is telling clients that an Apple car will probably be a reality in ten years rather than five.

A study published at the opportunity of the current IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin illustrates the impact of IoT technologies to application worlds formerly oriented at proprietary industry standards. Increasingly, smart TV sets, washing machines and home appliances are adopting IoT approaches and get networked.
