It's the biggest Consumer Electronics Event on planet Earth. CES. From oversized HDTVs to tiny Bluetooth headsets we look at all the gear that'll make it into stores. Plus some insight on the up and coming tech that'll make your electronics greener.

CES is one of the biggest trade shows in the world, CES is the event to attend if you want to get a bead on what's coming out in the wonderful world of electronics.

Why? It's the show where manufacturers show off their goods to the world!

Patrick Norton and Jim Louderback spent three days at the show (along with our new producer, Roger Chang) and we've got a ton of products for you, from XstreamHD's satellite HD video distribution to some nifty new case fans from Enermax and a whole lot in between.

We also cornered some of our favourite product mavens:

What's new on the HDTV front? PCMag's HDTV reviewer (and our buddy) Robert Heron talks about improved quality, thinner monitors , that 150 inch HDTV, and Pioneers amazing new take on black.

Cell phones: PCMag's Sascha Segan reviews 100 cell phones a year. He's got three picks on new phones from the CES show floor (it's all about better interfaces, something that the iPhone has inspired) along with his fave new Bluetooth headsets.

Robots? Lance Ulanoff lives for new robots at CES. (He's also the Editor in Chief at PCMag!) He's impressed with WoWWee's latest.

BTW, there's tons of CES product coverage at PCMag, and we'll be adding more in the coming weeks from the hours of video we shot at CES!

Could have done without the CES coverage. Every year all the tech news outlets do their forced death march out to the desert. They show products that may or may not ever come out, complain about their sore feet and sinus infections then try and make it seem somehow newsworthy.

Next year skip it, Just read engadget like the rest of us. It'll hurt less, cost less money and won't spread disease.

What was that at 25:30? Seems like some sort of contest. How did Patrick do? Also it was good to seee the DL.TV reunion.

Great show, guys! You sure packed a lot of stuff into an hour! Wonder if Patrick was able to pry Jim away from the Geffen booth, lol! ;)

"I am not too upset at Jessica's segments, but I do hope the show starts to have a bit more content otherwise it will grow old fast. I have yet to find any of the 'Code Red's useful.
They also need to figure out what the show is going to be, a tech show like TSS, or a product review show like InDigital. Make that the primary focus with the occasional bit for the other, but the show needs a real focus to gather and hold an audience. So far the 'tech' has been rather light and fluffy as been noted before."

Based on your description, it's a tech show.

I agree that the show was excellent, but check out Cranky Geeks CES coverage.
