CES and MacWorld- coming this week!

Yup, it’s that time of year again. The new year and playoff football have begun, and CES and MacWorld — arguably two of the year’s biggest tech shows, in which many of the upcoming years gadgets are announced — kicks off this week.

A lot of good stuff appears on the horizon. Windows 7 looks AMAZING — pretty much all the good Vista was supposed to be — and should receive a lot of attention from Microsoft. All new Palm cell phones should be armed with, by Palm’s hardware standards, a great texting keyboard as well as a new “Nova OS” that should bring the Palm Software up to 2009 and not 2002. We also should be seeing all new cell phones and computers (specifically netbooks), and as far as Apple, you never know with them though we anticipate some nice goodies from their final MacWorld.

Unfortunately, we won’t be able to write about all the details right away; CES and the MacWorld both take place during ourĀ  finals/midterms week. On the upside though (at least for us ;) ), with finals means that our winter vacation is almost here!

And don’t worry, we will still give you round ups on a lot of the major things coming from these events (yes, there are some things that we find aren’t worth covering — CES is a BIG event with A LOT of stuff!) after the events are over, but don’t worry- we will have some posts daily on some of theĀ  really BIG things arriving out of the shows (such as the MacWorld and Palm conferences). We’ll keep the posting style for the round ups looking similar to last year (organized by best of each catergory) and we hope to have everything covered from both CES and MacWorld up by the end of next week– so keep checking back!

O come on guys! Its not like you will be studying 24 hours a day, plus you’re gonna be following the macworld conference anyway! This is like espn.com not covering the superbowl because of they just got back from winter vacation — I mean come on!!! I would seriously hope you guys reconsider this decision, considering this is a great blog…

thank you

Hey Johnny-

Ya, I apologize for making this point being a little unclear- what I meant in the article is that we wouldn’t be like a lot of the other blogs in that we won’t be posting several dozen times a day on everything at these events. Rest assured, we will be posting on some of the bigger things such as MacWorld and the Palm announcement daily (as you said- we aren’t studying 24 hours a day ;) ).

I have updated the post to reflect this.

Thanks and we’re glad you enjoy reading our blog!

All the best,
Eli
