This industry tradeshow, open to participants in the CE industry, runs January 7-10 at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) and Sands Expo and Convention Center/The Venetian.
In CE product terms the event has been dominated by a return of the size wars. A number of leading manufacturers are exhibiting new TV sets that are all defined with the superlative. Appropriately enough, in a town as outlandish as Las Vegas, there is no such thing as average here: all of the major announcements seem to be the “biggest”.
Amid the noise of innovation and celebration you can detect a note of caution. The Consumer Electronics Association is projecting growth of some six per cent in the sector in 2008, yet there seems to be some general worries that the effects of the credit crunch will be felt in consumer spending patterns on electronics.
This is Vegas though, and optimism is the order of the day.
CES organizers said the show would be back next year but said they were planning to pursue new, less expensive arrangements.
