As if I don’t feel guilty enough for not wading into the annual body crush that is CES (Mike Grebb is covering the event for IP Media Monitor), coming in thick and strong today are the wave of pre-CES articles highlighting this year’s big news. The New York Times has this pre-cap piece that concludes “The theme of this year’s show might best be described as Convergence: This Time We Mean It.”
Penned by Damon Darlin, the article focuses on the innumerable devices capable of moving voice, video and data content around the home. So many whiz-bang technologies, many of which we’ll never hear about again, will be showcased at the event. This year’s CES is even more bone-crushing than ever — it will draw over 130K attendees and will cover over 1.6 million square feet of exhibit space.
Time-shifting gets a little play in this pre-CES piece by AP’s May Wong. My favorite in the pile of CES articles is this one by Dean Takahashi of the San Jose Mercury News. Not that it covers any real new territory (Takahashi, like the others, focuses on video distribution as the next big thing for all CE makers), but it has the shortest headline of them all: “See CES.”
