CES, or Consumer Electronics Show, is held annually in Las Vegas and this is the convention that literally starts off the 2010 consumer market. Last year it was all about the cell phone market, new developments in the headline game consoles, and HDTVs. The year before that was the big war with BluRay and HD-DVD. However, this year was the big step into the market of 3D HDTVs. Almost everything showcased at CES is standardized into the  household within two decades. This includes the VHS, DVD, and HDTVs.

There were also a lot of green-tech which showcased a bunch of recycled or can be recycled gadgets. Last year, I believe, introduced the organic 1 Terabyte drive (1,024 Gigabytes or 1,048,576 Megabytes) which had a bamboo casing.

Sony and Netgear is pulling out a new technology that will work across the 2010 HDTV Bravia line and new VAIOs (Laptops), the ability to wirelessly stream what is on your laptop to your TV. (No Wires Attached!)

Also as expected were new cameras and cellphones, which most notably were the hybrid SLR (Those huge cameras that the paparazzi use) and the Google Nexus One, respectfully. (Google’s newest android based phone)

What caught my eye was that Netflix is now being offered on BluRay players that have internet enabled on them (majority), and that HDTVs are soon to come out with wireless networking out-of-the-box. (You will be able to connect to your wireless network at home)

Microsoft had power trouble on it’s introductory keynote, but aside from that CES 2010 has brought up a ton for the consumer to expect this year. There was also a 4K x 2K (Or Four 1080p monitors in one TV)!
