SpaceX Starlink Mini 2 Reveal
SpaceX released the Starlink Mini 2 today as the next version of its smallest portable satellite terminal, packing a dish, router, and removable battery into one unit that works without a nearby outlet or vehicle power source. Early owners who receive an invitation can preorder the hardware for $999, a price that also covers a full year of Roam Unlimited service the company values at $2,100. Shipments to those first U.S. customers are expected to begin in mid-December after a $100 refundable deposit.

Aura Ink 10 E-Ink Photo Frame
Aura Frames has spent the past year improving its cordless approach since the larger Ink 13 came last fall, and the new 10-inch model is thinner, sharper, and $150 less expensive. Priced at $349 and available now in the United States, it maintains the same fundamental promise as its larger sibling: a photo that fits on a shelf or hangs on a wall without a power cord dragging across the room. When the frame refreshes once every day, the battery life can last up to three months, however brighter rooms or more frequent adjustments shorten that time frame.

Toyota Scion KEI-01 Kei Truck
After a decade on the sidelines, Scion returns under the name Scion by Toyota as a focused experiment in new kinds of mobility. The first vehicle to carry the badge is the KEI-01, an ultra-compact utility truck that draws directly from the kei trucks long common on Japanese roads. Toyota showed the truck on November 10, 2026, and plans to begin deliveries in the second half of 2027.

Ring Drone Cam Reveal
Amazon announced the Ring Drone Cam today after nearly a decade of concepts, delays, and redesigns that once pushed earlier versions toward multi-thousand-dollar price tags. The tiny indoor quadcopter lands at $249.99 and begins shipping in the United States on January 27, 2027, pending final FCC certification. Ring first floated a flying home camera around 2020 under the Always Home Cam name, then showed larger prototypes at CES that never reached stores because of size, cost, and performance problems. Cloud processing finally let engineers shrink the machine to 165 grams while keeping the price low enough for regular homes.
