CES is one month away and companies are rushing to complete all of their preparations for the most important consumer electronics show in the world. Many companies, including Icron begin preparations for CES in the summer in order to ensure everything is ready to ship to the show by late December.
This year expect to see lots of new connected TVs, 3D TVs, new mobile devices, and different sized tablet PCs. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer will kick off CES this year with a preshow keynote address at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, January 5 in the Las Vegas Hilton Center. In previous years, Microsoft used the CES keynote stage to launch major products including Xbox, Windows Vista and its Sync technology partnership with Ford. Verizon CEO, Ivan Seidenberg, also has a keynote on January 6, no word if he’ll be announcing the rumored Apple iPhone for the Verizon network.
Rounding up the keynotes will be Boo-Keun Yoon, Samsung President and General Manager of Visual Display Business and Alan Mulally Ford Motor Company President and CEO. 2011 promises to be another year for amazing new technology and product announcements at CES.
Icron has two CES announcements about new products (USB 3.0 extension and uncompressed 1080p video extension) and we’re demonstrating them as well as USB over DisplayPort at our booth, LVCC South Hall 1, Booth #20560. We also have a press event titled “Future of Connectivity: Unveiling New Video and USB Technology”. Write to us if you’re interested in viewing our new product demonstrations or attending the press event (no press credentials needed!).
If you haven’t registered for CES yet, you’ve missed the free registration period, but if you’re an Icron customer, write me and I’ll see if we have any passes left.
See you at CES 2011 and have a great holiday season!
