2008 CES Ready To Unveil The Ultimate Tech Gadgets

The 2008 International Consumer Electronics Show is ready to unveil the newest, up-to-date, most amazing gadgets in the Sin City convention that will open its gates tomorrow night. Over 140,000 conventioneers are expected to take part in this technological event, and over 27,000 gadgets are to be displayed.

The official opening is on Monday, but tomorrow will held pre-show events. The biggest names in the $148 billion tech industry will be here, promoting the most innovative products and technologies to the large public that is expected to attend the event.

From the latest cell-phones and music players, to the newest wireless technologies, all will be revealed by this years’ tech capital of the world, Las Vegas.

Of course, technology gets as always ahead of human needs, and this time environmental needs, by showing at this year’s event the largest series of environmental-friendly, power-saving products. The ‘green-show’ is meant to put a stop to accusations that the tech industry is anything but environmental-friendly, and that its products are impossible to be recycled.

Another big point of attraction to the show will be the display of the latest GPS navigation systems, which will cover around 250,000 square feet at the 2008 International Consumers Electronic Show in Las Vegas, and of the latest notebooks.

An important highlight of the show will be the preview and demonstration of the new SlingPlayer for BlackBerry, expected to be available for purchase starting later this year, and the SlingBox PRO-HD, with improved wireless technology and improved streaming.

The show will cover a total of 1.85 million square feet of exhibition square, including the Las Vegas Convention Center, the Sands Expo and Convention Center, the Las Vegas Hilton and Venetian Hotels. “It’s pretty ambitious, considering we’re larger than the Super Bowl and all the political conventions,” said Gary Saphiro, chief executive of the Consumer Electronics Association, who hosts the show.
