D-3 TV home. few years, it is difficult to understand the trends in the CES. This year, it was easy because all the big companies has spoken to watch movies on TV And 3-D game in the living room. Blame it on Avatar. The lawyers include LG Electronics, Toshiba, Samsung, Sharp, Panasonic, Sony, Intel and Nvidia. Some companies gave 30 percent of his time in the air press conference in 3-D. Nvidia had the best 3-D images visible (as far as we have seen) in a racing game. Because personal computers Use the best materials dedicated 3-D graphics, which for more realism. Both Panasonic and Samsung has unveiled an entire ecosystem of products in 3-D glasses TVs ready.
Last year, the 3-D fashion was just beginning. But the turnover of one billion dollars in box office is not made any difference. theater experience is truly 3-D surround, no formulas. Another 50 films in 3-D was published in 2010. The film wants to give people a reason because to come to the theater and because they can not be hacked. But vendors like television because it gives consumers a reason to return to the stores, even after have already bought their high definition displays.
As good as this may seem, we are not sure that will be as big as the HD TV. There are still many skeptics out there that will not be shown in 3-D, because it gives headaches. It is unlikely to pay extra for it. And there might be some time before all ecosystems 3-D – the content, cameras, televisions, and glasses – are available in many homes. We do not expect every movie to be as good as Avatar, that it is. Samsung and Sharp may be able to boost the market because they have a technology that allows programs to convert 2-D to 3-D stolen. But in 3-D is at least a good start in 2010 and home theaters are installed in time.
Tablets by the dozen. Apple should launch a tablet PC later this month. But everyone wanted to show at CES their own designs cool so it does not seem to imitators. Microsoft, Steve Ballmer, CEO of three tablets showed in his speech, including Hewlett-Packard tablets. However, HP has been very clear in the details, perhaps because he wants to wait to see what Apple releases. Most manufacturers of the pill would be prudent to do the same. But the fundamentals are all that There are at CES: touch screens, magnetic order, as the content of his books, and chip companies such as Intel, Qualcomm, Broadcom and Marvell. Tablets have been around for a while, but the news should be much more sensitive to touch commands. In all those models in the works, HP will probably be the top rival to Apple, said Richard Doherty, an analyst at Envisioneering Group. This is because HP has decades of experience with touch screens, has many TouchSmart PCs already in the market, and has a large collection of patents and the touch screen. We just want what I have seen in action.
The new devices can be e-books for the masses. It seems that both device manufacturers and publishers of books rather than the content of these tablets. After all, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer showed HP touch screen by accessing the Amazon Kindle the application and flip a few pages of Twilight the best sellers. Meanwhile, Plastic Logic has launched its electronic book reader, which is one of the most impressive-looking devices on the market (which better be, because the device is also much more expensive than Amazon's Kindle).
With these devices, not to mention that Apple announces its compressed all-but-official / eBook Reader later this month, readers' embrace of e-books to supplement or even replace physical books can increase dramatically the following year. As it happens case, the question is whether the e-book readers can compete with the tablet itself. Drive manufacturers in trouble? Are they going to make their devices more compressed as competition?
Oh, and the passage can not simply traditional books – A start-up, Graphic.ly, which has also been shown on stage during the Ballmer presentation is the development of a digital book reader comics and magazines.
Netbooks are becoming more attractive. These machines any way with their small screens, low prices and the sole purpose of cruising the Web. But the first generation of netbooks, which was released for 18 months had rates of return as high as 40 percent. They do not play, he choked on a large number of Web sites, and generally have a lousy consumer experience. However, netbooks sold tens of millions of people and there were dozens of new models at the show. Now with the new generation of low-power technology, category is no longer just a bunch of hype. The machines can live up to its billing. Intel's latest Atom processors give these $ 400 or if a large number of drilling rigs to perform tasks that previously required mobile text. Toshiba Mini 350 new note has a battery life 11:00. New HP Netbook Mini 5102 has a screen Touch. About 33 million netbooks sold in 2009, which should grow 20 percent in 2010, according to DisplaySearch, a market survey. The competition category will receive of SmartBooks, which are hybrids of smartphones and netbooks, and perhaps the e-book readers and tablets as well.
Everyone is jumping on the band wagon App Store, and offer many features. After Apple found success with its iPhone / iPod Touch App Store, smartphone accountable others are doing the same. Now, move the model to other devices, especially the netbooks we've mentioned. Intel has announced that those responsible AppUp netbook can customize their own stores to offer customers. Samsung also announced his shop, which seems to use the technology AppUp. Netbooks seem to be the obvious next step for this model, because they are among the amenities of a normal laptop and a smartphone. At the same time, we could see this as a blow to native applications on the "net" netbooks, netbooks because they are supposed to be all about access to the web, not downloading the application. Google has been the most vocal about "that" all applications are web applications "in its next operating system netbook, Chrome OS.
The vision is not limited with netbooks, but includes televisions, computers and other devices also. Samsung, in particular the capacity building of its applications "cross-device. It is not television applications, or applications the phone. These are applications that run on all devices, the storage of their activities so that their behavior in a device is in the other. Given companies The release of new gadgets (see the trend compressed above) and devices used to connect web (see the TV trend below), this type Service Cross-device is more critical.

new user interfaces abound. Since the iPhone and Nintendo's Wii debut, the technology industry has been experiencing with new forms of control devices. Touch screens have infiltrated many products, in the face of Microsoft Surface tables to cell phones each day. During the show, Motorola has made its debut with a touchscreen phone Backflip in the back of a phone, allowing you to control the screen without disturbing the tone itself. iPhone's accelerometer shake or tilt introduced intuitive features that add nuance of your control. Synaptics, meanwhile, has shown what is possible through the combination of contact with other controls and give the fuse and Scrybe. This should be very useful for future phones and tablets.
Gesture controls also are taking a step forward. Microsoft said the launch of the project Natal, which has photo sensor, which detects the movement of the whole body, for the Xbox 360 in Autumn 2010. Sony has been strangely silent on its rival technology from this spring. But companies like GestureTek, Canesten and others have discovered their own technologies to control TVs and other devices with gestures. Remains to be seen to what extent the easy to use new control schemes, and how long the software is based.
Mobile TV is competitive. Qualcomm has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in their activities FloTV. The company has acquired the spectrum you need to transmit digital TV phones wireless mobile phones (including iPhone) and the reader FloTV own pocket. But now have some jurisdiction of the Open Mobile Video Coaltion, which has adopted a standard mobile digital TV. The new devices based on the standard were presented at CES, but the duration Battery and utility are still lacking. While Qualcomm has a national network with a wide variety of programming, the group Open Mobile for products can Programming local digital television in 30 cities. The Open Group Mobile offers the free service, while Qualcomm charges a subscription. Unlike other trends, is still emerging, and it was shown in a handful of posts. Just as digital television, you can take time to evolve. But consumers are likely to watch television in their handhelds when video is crisp and has enough content. A Telegent evidence, whose chips provide analog TV programs to cell phones worldwide. Telegent is the alignment of an initial public offering on the strength of its international activities. If you can take off analog TV, then it probably means there will be demand for mobile digital television.
Cars smarter. Ford has been many successes with the synchronization system of voice commands automotive electronics. In surveys, 32 percent of buyers said it was important Sync or critical in their decision to purchase a Ford vehicle. Ford has reached its goal of selling one million vehicles with Sync by May. About 81 percent of clients synchronization are satisfied and 77 percent recommended. This week, Ford said that developers can create applications that can run Sync, which will give Users of 3G or Wi-Fi inside the car, and has renewed its electronic dashboard easy. You connect your iPod, phone, memory cards and other devices on the bridge.
Not all passing cars to be connected in the future. But Ford moves show that automakers are finally moving to an annual cycle for the implementation of new technologies in vehicles, instead of the usual five years. It is also heartening to know that not everyone is in the direction of a heap. Ford says Sync drivers can choose a new song with voice commands in 4.9 seconds while it takes 30 seconds. The company tries to minimize distractions to the driver the same time adding more things to do for you while you're driving. Ford was an example of a myriad of other related ads the car at CES.
TVs connected catches. Televisions connected to the Internet is now multiplied by the model of the tails of consumer electronics companies. Last year, Yahoo has launched its Widget Engine to allow televisions to view websites on a TV using a remote control. Samsung, LG, Toshiba and Sony TVs delivered to the widget engine. In 2009, sales of televisions connected to the network has increased 830 percent from a small base, according to the Electronic Consumer Association. This year, growth is expected at about 129 percent, and Yahoo hopes that its Widget Engine will be placed on millions of televisions. This gives access on television of thousands of websites, ranging from Netflix Pandora. Samsung, which said it captured 75 percent of the connected TV market in 2009, is adding an App Store so that users have more options than they can access through the connected TV.
Green Tech Gadgets Get Real. Technology moves from green sounds good, stage nozzle with real products. The major public electronics companies stop their arms race to make more and more flat screen (although there is a 84-inch TV LG in rack). Instead, they talked about the energy efficiency of LED TVs thinner and sizes. Hewlett-Packard get rid of some toxic chemicals in its computers and connects all biodegradable packaging. About 20 companies presented their products in a technology Green on the show floor. And Most TV manufacturers had large flat screens in their cockpits with the power of the data.
