2010 Consumer Electronics Show (CES)

The 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show took place in Las Vegas on January 7-10, 2010 (Thursday to Sunday). 

The CES showcases the latest innovations in digital imaging, electronic gaming, wireless communications, digital video, high-performance audio, home networking and entertainment, mobile electronics, broadband and the Internet.

CES 2010 Summary

The Show featured more than 125,000 attendees, 2,500 exhibitors and 20,000 products.

An independent audit of the 2010 International CES confirms CES’ status as the world’s largest consumer technology trade show and North America’s largest annual trade show of any kind. 

Over the previous 2-3 years, CES became boring...with few new exciting products. Apple Macworld had most of the new exciting announcements.  Well.. not anymore!

The new decade started off with a bang.  Lots of new exciting technology and products for 2010 and beyond.

After attending the show, we are most excited about the following product categories:

• All new HDTVs will be connected to the internet (this is my favorite big trend) - Due by Christmas 2010
  
• A Samsung see-thru laptop screen prototype...Expect them in about 3-5 years
• Apple's iPad Tablet - Not announced at CES but everyone is talking about it - Jan 27th was the big announcement
• Project Natal - Using your hand movements to navigate
  the TV or Computer is pretty cool - Expect Games later this year and other products next year
• Flip-like Easy-to-Use Video Cameras were everywhere
• eBooks or eReaders will continue to grow rapidly this year - We expect the high-end eReaders to be be replaced with Tablets by 2011
• Blu-ray Players with 3D and Wi-Fi Internet Connections are due this summer
• Many Digital Cameras with GPS will wirelessly connect to your Internet Services
• Military-like flying toys that are wirelessly controlled (using Wi-Fi) by an iPhone and delivers a live video feed in flight - Very cool and due this summer

Many articles and TV Shows focused on the new 3DTVs. They looked terrific. However, we don't think most people are going to charge up their $100 3D-TV glasses every night to watch TV shows.

We do expect the 3D Adult videos (that are due out in the fourth quarter of 2010) to be responsible for many of the 3D HDTV sales the next two years. Over the last two decades, the Adult industry always implements new video technology products before the mainstream companies.
