If you love looking at all of technology's newest stuff, CES is the show for you. Held once a year in January in Las Vegas, this show combines not only the newest consumer appliances, but all the computers, software, hardware and other things that used to comprise the old COMDEX show that was once the king of Las Vegas. I used to go to Comdex almost every year and loved it! But, I noticed that the last two shows I attended were a bit of a letdown because I had already seen most of the new stuff on the then-rapidly evolving Internet.
Now, with all the great way to see things on the Net, I don't feel the need to go to Vegas anymore, a trip I really don't miss at all. It's all there for you to see on the Net...and today I will give you a few links here so you can see some of the neat new things for yourself.
The most intriguing toy so far, and the biggest splash in Vegas this week, is the new iPhone from Apple. Although it won't be released until June, and only with a two year contract from Cingular, the iPhone combines all the features of an iPod (music and video with a new very large screen), a telephone, and a web browser...complete with Apple's OS/X operating system. For all that it does, its amazingly small, but powerful. For more info, read the article from eWeek Magazine.
You can also see much more at CES by going to the special CNET Website that has many of the new products listed as well as the best-in-show awards. I personally like all the videos on the new products on the CNET TV Website, including Steve Jobs' presentation introducing the iPhone. That was a lot of fun to watch.
PS. For reasons yet to be explained, Apples big MacWorld Expo is also being held this week in San Francisco. You can also get the latest news and product information from there on CNET.
