Consumer Electronics Show (CES) Las Vegas 2008

Written on May 14, 2008 by Steve

All of the high volume consumer electronics markets & technology are on display at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. This year, confirmed attendance was on record to match the second peak attendance day.

THE MAJOR THEMES AT CES 2008:

1. Massive product innovation in many CES sectors, reflecting huge, unprecedented levels of investment in consumer electronics.

2. Hollywood warms up to the electronics industry, as DRM fails.

3. The Synergy between digital media, connectivity, and portability.

4. Handheld and ultra-mobile personal computing is going mainstream,
in many form factors. Next, the slugfest.

5. The arrival of solid state disk drives in laptop computers -
it’s big news and should stimulate sales (we’ll detail why).

6. Automotive electronics is getting more sophisticated.

7. The lack of any “big news” announcements (except for – literally – that 150″ big TV) masked an enormous amount of incremental innovation.
