After acclimatization to the new year, lovers and fans of gadgets and get to know who plays the largest technology trade fair in the world, the CES in Las Vegas. And as every year, we anticipate a few days to its conclusion, and the time it takes to get our plane to Nevada, we have compiled that we hope are the four cardinal points of the CES 2012.
1. Televisions We will see betting brands like Sony, Panasonic, Philips, Toshiba, LG and Samsung for this 2012. More 3D, with a detour to passive technologies, and above all, much Smart TV, with applications such as guest stars. It also expects a lot of agreements with brands such as Samsung Google to revive its GoogleTV.
New display technologies already have the advance of – spectacular – LG OLED TV but will not be far from alone, for either business models or prototypes simple, organic technology faces an exciting 2012. And as a trend of 2012 will not miss the entrance to the superresolution, a bet of companies that we fear to suffer the same effect as 3D a lot of equipment but no content. And in the field of the future, expect more functional prototypes of flexible displays or yes.
2. Future Consoles With your other important fair in the summer, the world of video games tiptoes through Las Vegas. However, this year the big three have things to say. Microsoft deemed the consolidation of its Xbox 360 in the content section, while the upcoming Sony PS Vita show for the American and European markets. Meanwhile, Nintendo will not lose the opportunity to take to the halls of CES 2012 U a few Nintendo Wii, but we fear that it will be very limited and we can get clear.
3. Tablets, ultrabooks and Windows 8 With newly launched Tegra 3, the ESC 2012 would be the ideal time to introduce new models of tablets. But with the MWC so close we fear they will not be all that we hope to present the developments in this field. That world was moved last year, like all mobile phones, to Barcelona. Yes we will have a strong presence of ultrabooks, both models ready to be marketed as a prototype in which the line between tablet and laptop definitely could dilute.
And the hub linking all these teams will not be other than Windows 8. Microsoft is expected to be fired in a big way at CES, but we fear that it will not because they have already warned that it will be more of a tour passing through Las Vegas more than a final fireworks party. Yes it is expected that many large manufacturers teach us what we offer in the range of laptops under the auspices of ARM architecture.
4. The connected car After a few years when cars took up more and more space at CES, the 2012 will be the explosion of the connected car. Many brands, including Ford, will surely much to tell about the electric car, connectivity on board, driving technological aids and gadgets that already flood the car near future. We end this so we can expect from CES 2012 reminding that another year will be at Engadget Las Vegas this time with two editors to know more, contact product or making it interesting not Engadget cover passes.
