Engadget is all over CES 2008

We don't know if you're ready for the deluge of gadget news that CES brings, but our whole crew is in Vegas ready to bring it to you. Things are kicking off tonight at CES Unveiled, but throughout the day tomorrow we'll be banging out live coverage of all the majors' press conferences. (That is, except the HD DVD group. Awkward.) And, of course, let us know if there's anything you're dying to see -- we're here for you.

The countdown to CES begins!
CES AV club: the Engadget podcast returns, video with Veronica Belmont!
Engadget: now faster, with better galleries, and fully ready for CES

Sunday, January 6th
All day - Almost all other press conferences. If it's a major company, they'll probably be holding their press conference on Sunday, so stick close by.
4:00PM PT / 7:00PM ET - Sony's CES keynote.
6:30PM PT / 9:30PM ET - Bill Gates's 12th and final CES keynote (probably). Not to be missed!
7:00PM PT / 10:00PM ET - Digital Experience. Tons to see here, you'll want to stick around Sunday night.

I am hoping you guys will let us know the dimensions of Alienware brand new m15x! Please, engadget!

Thanks for the coverage Engadget! I'd love to see the Alienware booth and their new laptops and ALX desktop.

Wonder if creative will dish out some new mp3 players.

PC displays - we might very well see 120Hz monitors introduced at CES. How about new IPS screens, new LED backlit displays, or maybe even OLED? Looking forward to your coverage if NEC, Samsung et al. pull through.

HTC's current/future phones should be on display. Purdypleaze?

+Core's CorePlayer 1.2?

Please check if there is more information about the Meizu M8 MiniOne :)

I'd really like to see if Meizu will pull out the proverbial rabbit and show up with their much-rumored/discussed/anticipated/mocked M8.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 6th 2008 12:37AM]

YES! Please bring us close ups of the knock off!

I'm most intersted in hearing what Mitsubishi announce with regards to laser TVs and whether Sony will be showing an improved version of their FED PC monitor they showed back in April (which was only 19.2'' and 1280 x 960).

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 5th 2008 11:48PM]

I'd also really like to know the dimensions, weight and more specifications of Alienwares new Area-51 m15x Laptop! I am really looking forward to finding out EVERYTHING about it and I know you guys are the BEST source for it, you guys kick butt!!! Tomorrow Alienware is holding a press conference at Ceasars Palace from 7-10pm (see more info on alienwares CES 2008 page here http://www.alienware.com/Ad_Landing_Pages/CES_Landing.aspx)

Hopefully some OLED goodness.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 5th 2008 11:11PM]

Does that backpack say HD-DVD?!?!? O-M-G

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 6th 2008 12:45AM]

What I'm dying to know about:

2008 models of DVD Recorders with built-in ATSC tuners (such as the popular Panasonic DMR-EZ47VK) which output the full HD signal without first downconverting to 480 then upconverting it. LG and Sony also make such units. All current units downconvert the HD signal first, resulting in a trashed picture.

Who's this for? Owners of the earlier "HD-ready" TVs who want a combo unit which can act as both a tuner to watch live OTA HDTV, and record it (in SD) to DVD.
