CES 2011 - What We are Expecting

With CES about to kick off in Vegas tomorrow, alot of people will be wondering what will be announced/shown off in the event, and that is what I'm going to talk about now very briefly.

First off we are expecting total "Tablet" domination at the event. Since the release of the Apple iPad last year many companies have been drawing up plans to compete with the product, hence Samsung's release of their Galaxy Tablet which is Android based. Also HP have started shipping their Windows 7 Tablet called the HP Slate.

As with 2010's CES conference I am also expecting 3D to be a big hitter at the event aswell. With talk of Nintendo 3DS (Which I very much doubt Nintendo will go public with the product at this event) being 3D glasses free, I would expect companies to bring other 3D products which do not require the usage of 3D glasses.

4G, the next installation to the mobile internet. This is almost certain to be introduced by various companies at this years CES. With various 4G devices already in the market today, I would not be suprised if even though its almost certain to be announced in the CES event that companies will keep this to a low aspect.

Ofcourse there are many many other products to be announced in the CES event.

iPevo Products for Sale

I have been a huge fan of iPevo and their products for years, ever since their debut of their wireless Bluetooth speakers. I own many iPevo products, but I am running out of room for them in my office, and I would like to let everyone here at TekSocial know about the items I have for sale through eBay. I wanted to let you all know first because I feel if they are to be sold, sell them to someone who can appreciate them, and who better to appreciate a tech item than a TekSocial reader? They are all brand new items and include everything they come with directly from iPevo. I have discounted them a lot compared to their retail value.

Microsoft Retail Store - 10/22/09

Thursday, October 22, 2009... The day Microsoft released their brand new retail store. Now I'm sure many of you have heard about this already, or seen short videos on it; but I have decided to let those of you who haven't heard. Well, Microsoft's retail store is currently located in two locations at the moment, Scottsdale, Arizona and Viejo, California. They are planning on making more locations in the future. The store contains Windows 7 products, Microsoft Mobile Phones, Zune Media Players, Xbox 360 and 'cloud' email and storage services for consumers. The store also includes a 'answer bar' were you can ask anyone of the Microsoft Retail Workers your questions and they will answer them. Another cool feature about this store is that the workers are dressed in different colored shirts based upon what product they are working with, i.e. Green for Xbox, Red for Zune, Blue for Windows 7 and so on so forth. On the opening date the stores were crowded with folks eager to find out what Microsoft has done.

In my own opinion, Microsoft has done an excellent job with the store and setting up different stations with different products for customers to review. I'm sure this will help them a lot. The store is very spacious. The former real estate chief for Apple (George Blankenship) was hired to consult on location and placement of the stores. As everyone eagerly rushed into the store to try out and look at all the Microsoft products, staff was very proud to say, "this is the new Microsoft Retail Store"
