2010 International CES Show

About 2,500 technology companies showed up at this convention to show off their newest tech products. For some it was to show off their gadgets for other retailers to see, but for others it was a chance to announce the new big things of 2010. The company Microsoft opened up with some of their new technology that we will be seeing in the future. They showed a lot of new things but the two biggest ones were...

The Xbox 720, being a non-controller video console where the controller is "YOU". It's a camera base video console that watches and hears everything that you do and applies it to the game itself. The next big things in the gaming world. It reaches out to those that play games but also to those that are not big on playing them because they are not good with controllers. It takes the meaning of gaming into a different level and a new world.

HP tablet, that's right the new tablet that Microsoft and HP have been working on for awhile was announced and confirmed at the CES show. Not that we are not surprised about this device because that was one of the BIGGEST reasons why everyone showed up. There have been rumors that Apple and Microsoft have been working on a tablet device that will take a new step within technology. Being that Apples' convention is in Feburary, which I will be posting about it after it happens, Microsoft saw this as a opportunity to get the jump on their product being announce before Apple. Now from what was shown, HP tablets comes in the size of 5" to 15" screens but no specs nor amount was talked about within the event. Of course they have to leave out a little bit of information to keep the consumers' interest. I'm pretty sure that it will be announced once they get a better look at the Apple tablets when they are announced in Feburary.

Now that was Microsoft's 2 biggest announcements but there was one thing that was just as HUGE and it wasn't Microsoft who announced it. It was a multiple of TV companies that was hogging some of the attention. TVs??? But we know all about the LED and LCD TVs and their HD quality's, what could possible be the big talk about them.....ummm how about 3D?. YES, that's right TVs are now going to be 3D. What has this world come to?

Well of course to be a 3D TV you need more then just the TV. So far ESPN is supporting their sports and news in a 3D event but it will not be until mid June before they will have that available for ordering though your company. On the bight side I heard that the Super Bowl might be in 3D but they are working on it. Don't worry if you don't have 3D because it will be shown in 2D as well for those that can't afford the 3D TVs. Oh yeah, the cost of a 3D TV will be around $4,000 - 7,000 depending on the size you want. Of course that is the usual when new TVs do come out, but I'm sure the price will drop in due time to where everyone can afford one. You also must wear the 3D glasses which will run about $150-200 each. It should come with the TV and I'm sure one does, but you have to buy more in order for anyone else to view the TV in 3D. TV + Glasses + qualified 3D station is what is needed for this special device.
