Live from CES 2008
By Joseph Hunkins at January 06, 2008 2 CommentsHello to Webguild folks from CES in Las Vegas. This is the first time I’ve attended this conference of the latest and greatest in consumer electronics. I’m posting this from the North Hall of the Convention Center where sessions have begun but exhibitors are still frantically assembling the huge displays for the exhibit halls, which open tomorrow. I kind of snuck in behind the scenes where SONY is assembling what looks like a very spectacular interactive exhibit - I’ll try to get some pictures up tomorrow when it opens.
The big story here so far is SONY’s Blu-ray “victory” over Toshiba’s HD-DVD. It appears some of the many HD-DVD folks have already left the conference and I believe a press conference was cancelled that would have announced new innovations in HD-DVD. I’m not clear if the rumor has been confirmed that Warner’s decision to go exclusive Blu-Ray was based primarily on a 500,000,000 payment from SONY.
