It's the time of the year that yours truly and This Guy wish we were in Las Vegas. No, not for the gambling, drinking, and topless girl show at the Riviera. Right now in Vegas is the show of shows. The creme de la creme of trade shows. The glorious buffet of delight for gadget geeks. CES is happening right now in Sin City. For those that don't know, CES stands for Consumer Electronics Show. It's where companies show off the latest and greatest tv's, cell phones, computers, and other great gadgets for consumers. Most of the stuff isn't yet available to the public. Just think of it as 1.7 million square feet of the most kickass cool stuff you have ever seen.
Someday, This and That in the Morning will broadcast (I mean blog) from there live. But until then we have to rely on others to do the covering. www.engadget.com does a nice job. So does cnet and a host of other sites.
Here's just a glimpse of what I've read about so far:
-a 1080p OLED TV that is less than a milimeter thick. That's the size of a credit card, people.
-TV's that have Wi-Fi built in to automatically display Internet.
-how about a scanner that scans in 3D objects.
-Speaking of 3D, there are several manufacturers demoing those no-glasses 3D TV's.
-plus a ton of way other cool stuff
(Normally I would link to all this stuff, but I am doing a remote post from my phone, so as not to use company equipment... Never mind the company time)
So there you have it. Rumor has that This and That Guy's dad used to attend these shows. So we'll just have to follow in his footsteps. Oh, and I'm sure we can squeeze in a little time for th drinking and gambling. Probably not the topless girls, though... our wives may be reading.
