Are your senses full with the aroma of stag parties and buffet bacon lying listless atop the flicker of a 3AM Sterno flame? No? Well, that's because you're not in Vegas. We just rolled in with the double-wide now parked just outside the Las Vegas Convention Center to celebrate our annual CES rite of passage. We're already knee deep in press releases and
hot products with dozens of events scheduled throughout the week followed by extensive hands-on coverage and reviews of the all the best products that the consumer electronics industry can muster.
You can view the news in the standard format that you're used to right here, or you can head over to
engadget.com/ces. There you'll find our coverage presented in a tighter format so that you can more easily keep track of what's breaking and which events we're covering live (and when).
So kick back and take it all in. It's going to get busy, but if you're like us then it just doesn't get any better than CES. Gratuitous trailer shot after the break.
WOOOO!!!!!
Can't wait guys!
@Needsahaircut
Stay away from the court house.
@Needsahaircut
can we get pics of the double wide?
Wouldn't it be "engadget @ CES 2010" rather than "CES 2010 @ engadget"?
@NetNewsercom
What!? CES is coming to engadget this year? /s
@NetNewsercom
You say tomato...
@NetNewsercom
I'm guessing it's saying that the CES 2010 news will be on the Engadget website.
@NetNewsercom
No! Engadget is what's important!
@NetNewsercom I think they placed 'engadget' after 'ces 2010' because of the placement of the engadget symbol/logo, if they put engadget before ces 2010, they would have to have more space.
@NetNewsercom "CES 2010 @ Engadget" implies Engadget's coverage of CES 2010 on the site. "Engadget @ CES 2010" implies Engadget's coverage of CES 2010 at the show. Hope this clears any confusion.
@Mayo Yeah, I noticed how well the signal/wave thing on the "t" of "engadget" fits in that round corner, but still, it sounds so stupid.
I don't know, it's hard to tell from this angle, but I'm pretty sure they can't fit the whole show in that rent-a-trailer. But who knows, it is a "pac-van". Maybe they can fit more than the Engadget crew in their.
BTW, did the same guy who 'shopped the image for this report design the layout for the trailer? You put your sponsor's ad right over the giant creases on the window? It looks awful. "Presered B y Sṙlnt [messed up logo]"
@Mayo Lol for the billboard designer of that float. With CES showcasing thousands of gadgets, expect more to come. Hopefully they will give the enlightenment we need towards that nexus phone we are clamoring for and perhaps some of the gadgets we secretly love :) CES 2010 events details and a little summarization: http://bit.ly/ces-2010-details-and-history
can we also get an inside shot of the trailer?
i bet it's full of strippers :p
@creepin that's an awesome trailer, and it would be even more awesome with strippers.
@creepin: Who needs strippers when you have the, um, "other" convention going on?
@aubreyq
The "Dairy Queen Operators Association Meeting" or the "Top 100 Chinese Restaurants in the USA Awards"?
@creepin
We got a video of the inside of the trailer last year... they have Veronica Belmont in a closet and Josh T. lounges on his desk talking through a VAIO P, all the while Nilay looks suitably bemused on the walk-around!
Come on guys! We EXPECT more this year, now that you've got video production down to a tee!
bring on the free stuff
"right of passage" should be "rite of passage" ;) But I can't wait!
Looking forward to the new netbooks that will surely be announced
Hopefully some non-glossy ones with pineview, that's all I want, it shouldn't be this hard to find some non fingerprinty netbooks but I can only think of a couple.
I like the BestBuy van better.
I think that's the truck they crate the booth babes in with.
(They have Booth Babes at CES, don't they?)
SHOW ME THE 3-D TV's!
i want more!
@Fir3lord
More hot trailer pics?
Good luck guys. You're going to need it.
srsly... your wearing a coat in vegas?
@seryozha .. yeah you're
@seryozha It's a desert, so I'd imagine it gets chilly at night. Weather Channel says it's 47 there right now.
@krische Which is infinitely warmer than Iowa's -10ºF. Can't wait to get to Vegas tomorrow...
@seryozha
i was just in vegas last week and it hit around 15F each night. high temp we had was around 55F and that was at noon in sun.
it's cold in vegas in the winter.
Pac-Van
Im uber excited for what Palm is going to do, but please don't neglect the Spring Desgin Alex presentation after it(unless of course Palm announces a WebOS-based eReader, in which case Spring Design can go fuck themselves).
@DrDr
whoa cool it there tiger
@Jon Rubinstein
:)
I take it from that that we perhaps wont be seeing a Palm eBook reader this CES.
So this is the Year of the Tablet then?
Lots and lots of slates that look like cool designs, but really aren't all that useful.
Don't spike the Jägermeister with Rohypnol!!!
Who's gonna man the TV controls in Gizmodo's place?
WOO CES!
Maybe we'll finally see the Apple Tablet.
Apple is the only thing I'm REALLY excited about.
The rest, I'm just excited about.
@mtnDewFTW
I don't think Apple is at CES.
They are doing their Big Thing later in the month.
go sprint
Can I be a guest contributor for CES 2011?
@wmpdll
No
@DrDr
Your not a real doctor
Be careful I was in Vegas last month and a couple of cute hispanic girls slipped the date rape drug in one of my drinks and I ended up giving them $800.
Don't remember a thing unfortunately.
@bob e
They worked for mike tyson
