TOP 10 : CES 2008

In no particular order…

1 - Warner goes Blu-ray
The announcement that Warner is moving exclusively to the Blu-ray side was one of the major event during CES. It even led the HD-DVD group to cancel their CES press conference.

2 - Sony XEL-1 11 inch OLED screen
This is the first commercially available OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) screen and is available on Sonystyle for $2500.
Yes this is thin!

Also on display was Samsung’s impressive 31 inch OLED TV.

3 - Canon Vixia HF10 HD Camcorder
Amazing full HD camcorder with 16GB of on-board flash.

4 - Panasonic 150 inch plasma TV
World’s largest plasma hdtv with a resoltion of 4096x2160 pixels. Yes, that’s more that 9 47′ inches…

5 - Blu-ray / HD-DVD combo players
Several dual format high definition DVD players were seen at the show such as the Samsung BD-UP5000 & BD-UP5500 or the LG BH200. The main problem with those dual format players is still the price.

6 - Nokia N810 Internet tablet
Announced a few months ago, it was nice to be able to play with the device. (still waiting for the Wimax version though)
