CES 2010: What to look forward to this year
The CES show, the annual technology show in Las Vegas, always sets out the new products from manufacturers for the rest of the year. The 2010 show was no different, with the likes of Samsung, Sony, Panasonic, Sharp and LG showing off their latest tech to the world.
The dominant technologies were Televisions and especially 3D. So what were the highlights that we can look forward to seeing released this year?
3D TV - There's been a lot of buzz about this, with the likes of James Cameron adding his support for the home 3D television experience. All of the major brands were exhibiting their own make of 3D screens that they hope we'll be buying. Combined the companies have invested billions into its development and hope it will boost flagging, recession hit sales.
Thinner TVs that do more - If you thought your TV was just for enjoying hi-def movies, TV shows and gaming, apparently we're going to be doing a lot more in the near future. Internet TV was big at the CES show, with apps for Twitter and Skype on their way. While I don't want to 'twit' with my TV, I'm sure there are many people who will be craving this. And as always, TVs are getting thinner and thinner.
OLED - The Organic LED screens made a huge impression at the previous CES show, with insanely flat screens and much improved picture (not to mention a hefty price tag). This technology is set to gain more traction in the rest of 2010 and certainly hasn't died away.
Freeview HD - More freeview HD channels will be available on Freeview's bigger brother, the non-subscription based Freeview HD. If you've been reluctant to pay the extra monthly fee to sky for HD programming, you might be watching this option by the end of the year. ITV one will be released in April in HD and unlike a lot of the technology on show at CES 2010, you won't need a new TV to see it - although you will need a decoder.
