Here’s a brief recap of todays CES events. 3D seems to be the big thing at CES this year, with all the major technology companies unveiling their 3D offerings. While I only was in attendance at three press conferences today, it seems that 3D is the technology that Panasonic, Sony, and others are all anticipating will be the next major trend in home technology. Nothing incredibly groundbreaking from any of the companies that I visited, although Panasonic seemed to have the biggest announcement with a partnership with DirecTV to bring 3D into their customers’ homes by June of this year. I’ll be sure to check out the 3D quality when I’m on the show floor this week.
I was also impressed with Casio’s announcement of a consumer camera which is capable of burst shooting and high frame rate video recording, however their digital photo frame wasn’t very impressive for me at least. Digital photo frames seems to be one of those technologies which never really took off because no one wants to have to remember to turn something like that on and off all the time, among other concerns, but we’ll see if it ever eventually takes off.
Thats it in terms of a brief recap from me, tomorrow is the first day of the show, and I aim to hit the ground running and hit as many of the booths that I possibly can and bring you a summary of major product announcements if/when I can. Feel free to email me any questions, and definitely check out the liveblog archives on our website.
