CES, the big consumer electronics show starts officially In just 4 days but for us, and you, it all kicks off tomorrow.
Not only am I flying out tomorrow for the first pre-events on the 4th but the PR companies will be back at work after the new year break so expect a lot of news as the scramble for the key stories begins. For the western world it’s an important show that will present company strategies that will play out as products during the rest of the year.
I’ve been kindly invited out to CES by Intel and will be bringing you not only their mobile hardware, OS and application news but lots of other news from CES too. There are meetings planned almost all the way through the 5th to the 8th so its going to be a busy one.
Sascha and JKK from the Meetmobility podcast will be there too and I expect there will be a party or two where we’ll get the chance to compare news with other bloggers and reporters.
As well as my reports, we have a team trying to keep up with all the news that comes in through other sources and as usual, we’ll be keeping focused on consumer internet devices on Carrypad and the more professionally-oriented mobile devices on UMPCPortal. I’m sure there will be a few crossover devices too. There will be videos and, when I get more time during the latter part of the week, more analytical reports.
My reporting will rely heavily on the Galaxy Tab this year as I plan to tap out some quick posts to keep you all updated on the latest in Las Vegas but the Netbook (Gigabyte Touchnote) and smartphone (Nokia N8) will also play important roles. I had planned to take the video reporting up a notch to 480p but I haven’t been able to find a camera / Netbook combo that satisfies me yet. I want to keep it ultra-mobile as always so i’ll take my time to find the right equipment. I’ve written a few posts about my quest for new equipment over at my personal blog, Hiblue.
My Twitter account. @chippy will be a good place to see all the behind-the-scenes activity if you’re that way inclined.
Hope to have some good conversations with you all in the comments!

You got Intel to cover the cost of your trip? Damn I’m jealous.
Hi Chippy,
if an older netbook is ok for you have a look at the flybook v5.
It looks like there is a sold out (you can find a lot of them in the bay). Got mine brand new with 4gb ram and build in hsdpa modem (with voice call) for 400 Euros. With it`s Core duo and the 4gb it is the powerful netbook on the market. I have installed Windows 7 and it is running perfect for uploading videos and photos, streaming etc.
Nice time for you in USA

Man, I almost got into CES through my job but it didn’t work out :(
Would’ve loved to meet JKK and chippy. :P
Next time! I guess we’ll be there in future years.
Hope to see you and the gang at CES. I’m also planning on taking my Galaxy Tab, IPhone 4, and my good old Sony P. I also count find whether to take my Acer Ferrari, MSI Wind with dual boot Leopard and Windows 7 Ultimate, or a HP Touchsmart tm2. Oh might bring my 3G IPad. Anyone know a good way to post using the Galaxy Tab to Google’s blogspot site?
What’s your Twitter id? Will follow.
