I can hear the breath of CES 2011 behind me, which will wake up the harsh chill of New Year’s Day next month. Tech junkies always look forward to the annual January for the biggest tech and electronics exhibition event – ​​Consumer Electronics Show (CES), which covers the full range of tech gadgets and vendors in various fields. This is the place where the industry meets, does business and, most importantly for you, releases new kits. After enjoying chocolates, candies and gifts from Santa Claus, livening up the New Year holidays, the tech faithful will express their love by enjoying this exclusive show a week later in Las Vegas, which will help consumers and experts visualize the technology market and the future. next year’s trends and patterns.

Tablet PC: the future ruler

When the giant Apple introduced its Ipad about 1 year ago, specialists raised predictions about the absolute dominance of Tablet PCs in several years. This forecast seems to come true. CES 2011 is just a few weeks away. And the main concept of the event is expected to be tablets and perhaps smarter smartphones.

Gartner, the prestigious technology research and analysis board, published a report in which it made predictions about the sales of tablet PCs in the coming period. In particular, this number may sell up to 54.8 million items in the following year and reach an “incredible” 208 million units in 2014. These impressive numbers increase the probability that the Tablet PC stores at CES will attract the most attention. and make it Full Coverage this time. It must be all about Ipad or at least it used to be, Apple would be the chosen one. Google pushed its Android trend as Apple’s most dangerous and vital competitors that cannot be caught earlier since the time of Samsung Tab or Dell Streak. Of course we can let BlackBerry lovers out, Research In Motion (RIM) can stay out of the game. Its Honey PlayBook debut will appear at CES to send a warning to Apple and Google. Also, Microsoft isn’t letting everyone have fun by releasing models like the View Pad and HP Slate. With great achievements in PC operating system, Mr. Gate’s own son is definitely an up-and-coming giant in the tablet market. Regardless, there are rumors that Microsoft has been building a series of tablets for this event. Obviously they will have touch screens with multi-touch support. But what’s new is that these will have a physical full QWERTY slide-out keyboard and HTML5 support. So what do you think? Will you go for such a tablet, or other vendors, or Mr. Apple? Please count down to the day.

Incoming 3D OLED TV

At CES 2010, Internet-enabled LED and flat-panel displays have relative but not as abundant coverage. What a difference a year makes though. OLED TV would be the undisputed star of this year’s show, backed by some of the biggest names in the consumer electronics business. The traditional LCD screen will look like old technology at CES 2011: it will be LED all the way. Movement in next-generation OLED technology has been slow so far, with only Sony, Samsung and LG really showing any value.

For the last year or so, OLED (organic light-emitting diode) TVs have been on the minds of home theater lovers everywhere. With incredibly high contrast ratios and thickness measuring in millimeters, OLED TVs certainly look like the future of home theater.

In the marketing plan, Samsung plans to commercialize this technology by 2013 and introduce rollable OLED TVs to consumers. I’ll believe it when I see it. There have been so many OLED TV announcements in recent years that it’s hard to get very excited when almost every announcement from every OLED manufacturer turns out to be nothing. While Samsung seems a bit unsure about when they’ll produce OLED TVs, LG has set a clear date. Apparently it’s 2011: although they will also be investing in next-generation LCD production lines, the plan is to have volume production of 32-inch OLED displays within three years.

While new technology always comes at a high price, some expect the price of OLED lighting to drop sometime in 2011. Active OLED lighting will go mainstream in two years, with revenues surpassing passive LED lighting at some point circa 2018. However, price is a major hurdle for technology to overcome.

Also, 3D TV was in the novelty ‘concept’ stage and was the top topic along with all the companies that talked about the environment last year. This is a bit of a strange thing to hear in Las Vegas, which is possibly the least eco-friendly place known to man. Expect those companies that haven’t gone big in 3D yet, like Sharp, to go full 3D this time. We’ll also see plenty of universal glasses available — specs you can use with multiple 3D TVs, not just one manufacturer’s. And expect a lot more hype behind 3D Blu-ray.

age of smartphones

From the day Android was born, iOS was not the object of monolatry in the mobile OS market. Months later, Microsoft released the new Windows Mobile 7 operating system. The race is on, Android and Windows sales are catching up with the iPhone, and we all know that a race means a winner. Android is an operating system used by multiple vendors, so we need to consider Apple’s iOS ecosystem and what these respective products bring to the market. Android is a remarkable product, and if it weren’t for the iPhone, it would be way ahead of anything else in its field, but the iPhone and iOS mobile platform came first. However, if you’re a cell phone manufacturer looking for a low-cost, licensed operating system, Android is a clear winner. If you’re a cell phone carrier looking to offer a family of attractive “smartphones” that you can customize to add “carrier value,” then again Android is a winner. Meanwhile, Windows Phone 7 is Microsoft’s latest attempt to create a mobile operating system that anyone wants to use. And this time, Microsoft seems to have had a big hit. Windows Phone 7 is a sleek and sophisticated operating system with all the power one would expect from any version of iOS. This is the conclusion of hands-on experience with various Windows Phone 7 devices.

In fact, smartphones have recently become a shining star at CES and the superstar this time around could be Google. Google has unveiled its latest version of the Android platform, Gingerbread, and unveils the next Android device in the Nexus line of mobile products: Nexus S. And for developers, the Gingerbread SDK/NDK is also available. It is the first Android device to ship with the new version of the Android platform. Google co-developed this product with Samsung, ensuring tight integration of hardware and software to bring out the latest developments in the Android platform. As part of the Nexus brand, Nexus S offers “what people call a ‘pure Google’ experience: unlocked, unfiltered access to the best Google mobile services and the latest and greatest Android releases and updates,” according to reports. Google. Along with Google, other familiar vendors are also joining in for the cake like Samsung, LG, Nokia, Sony. And the main focus of the integrated platform would be BlackBerry, Iphone, Android, Symbian and Windows which have been around for a long time.
