So it’s that time of year again, everyone who has even the slightest interest in technology begins to get excited over the thought of what will be coming up in the biggest show of the year, the Consumer Electronics Show. No doubt this will be full of companies attempts at an iPad competitor, among other bits of over engineered objects that worked just fine before energy-consuming technology was included in them.
Many thousands of news sites will have their editorial teams descending on Las Vegas in the coming weeks, attempting to cover all the main keynotes, including Microsoft’s last keynote from CES. After this year, they will be bowing out of the Show all together, whether they go out with a bang or quietly is another story.
Notable predictions of the more interesting technologies include televisions, maybe Google TV will take off this year? Also the movement towards Ultrabooks from Netbooks is a major shift in what people want out of a computer, and a small 10″ screen isn’t one of those things.
We’ll see what comes of it over the weekend, and expect another post summing up the good and bad from the Show, unfortunately, due to the lack of funds and a site to write for, there is no reason for me to head there myself, as well as the fact it would cost me a good few hundred pounds to get there in the first place, never mind accommodation and food!
The Consumer Electronics Show is from January 10-13 2012 in Las Vegas.
