CES is always interesting to see what new technology and products emerge. An amazing number of companies are on exhibit, almost 3000, with more than 20,000 new products on display.

The official website www.cesweb.org breaks it down into these catagories: (along with my comments)
Audio – The Classic iPod is still my favorite portable media player.
High-Performance Audio
Digital Imaging
Emerging Technology – iPhone, Apple Tablet, Google Droid, GPS, ???
Gaming – The Beatles are finally in Rock Band; what’s next for Xbox 360, Playstation3 and Wii?
Home Networking – When is total wireless connectivity coming?
Home Theater/Video
In-Vehicle Technology – We really need a spiffy name for this, like AutoTech.
Wireless – I just love the Acer AspireOne Netbook I bought last year, it’s so portable it works anywhere!
