CES 2009 is just around the corner and I will be heading down to Vegas to see check out what’s going to be hot this year in the tech and gadget world. In case you’re not familiar with CES, it is the world’s largest electronic trade show . The show floor is more than 5 football fields big! Last year my photographer Jeff and I spent 3 full days on the floor and only managed to see about 80% of it. Ya…it’s that big.
So what can we expect to see this year? Expect plenty of buzz around 3DTV. We saw a few prototypes on the show floor last year. We’ve heard more companies have jumped on board and will be showing off displays. It also appears most will not require the 3D glasses (a few did last year).
Of course there was the 150 inch Plasma from Panasonic last year. Will someone come out with a bigger and better one this year? Probably.
We should also see more wireless HDTVs. There are the TVs that allow you to have all your home theatre components across the room and they will beam video and audio to your TV…no wires! The first units were supposed to be out in 2008, only to get pushed back to 2009. We can expect to hear more about this technology this year and get a better idea on release date.
Of course this is only a snippet of what I will see down there. From cell phones, and computers, to stereos and GPS systems…man it’s going to be a busy week!
Are there any products you’re excited to hear more about? Let me know! I’ll do my best to get the details for you!
