Consumer Electronics Show Kicks Off Today

by Ryan | 7th January 2008

The annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) began today. CES is an electronics trade show held every January in Vegas that showcases many of the high tech gadgets set to release in the coming year. The show runs from today through Thursday and you can expect to see many of the gadgets to show up in various news sources. All the major technology companies bring their latest and greatest products to show off to the media.

Bill Gates got CES off to a start with his 12th and final keynote speech. His speech centered on his view of the future of technology. He believes devices with screens, such as mobile phones and televisions, will be much more connected with eachother to create a very seamless media experience. He also showed off Microsoft’s voice activated Synch system for cars, which allows the driver to select music or make calls hands free.

Some of the new items showcased so far:

Check out Dell’s 22 inch crystal LCD monitor, news courtesy of Engadget. It looks absolutely sexy, but comes with a price tag of $1200.

      This might be a bit off topic but the nice thing about buying new electronics is they have a warranty. You are buying something that has moving parts or electricity going to it so it has the potential of breaking, there is nothing you can do but replace it, that does not mean the company that made the product sucks, it means the individual item sucked!
