CES 2008: 150 inch HDTV, XstreamHD, silent case fans, Bluetooth headsets
Friday, January 11th, 2008 running time 29:24
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!

Tekzilla CES coverage
I watched CES coverage from DL.TV and Geek Brief TV and I have to say that Tekzilla beat them both. Excellent work guys! Jim, you really need to do a product review show on Rev3!

i think it was very very feature packed, tons of details and lots of stuff to see, so very good content..
but for some reason, i thought production value wasn't that good, don't know if its the music (lack of), camera, or what, but i just didn't get the lively view i usually see with tekzilla.
I hate to say this, but I think i enjoyed last year's CES coverage with InDigital a little bit more.
Again though, I thought it had a TON of content which was very very nice to see! I just wish it had the same high quality production indigital had last year for CES, or even the other tekzilla shows!
just my opinion

brucebeh, it probably had to do with time. They had the deadline to hit.
I hope we get more CES stuff next week.

Good stuff! Jim Louderback and Sumi Das were my gadget gurus back in the day. I always felt Jim gave an honest assessment of gadgets because he actually told you what sucked about them too and didn't mince words.
I agree with he above, Jim having a more permanent gadget segment would be cool. InDigital bored me the few episodes I downloaded so I never watched it.

My favourite Tekzilla so far, good job Rev3, it was so much better for not featuring Jessica who really only acts as the uninformed user/ sounding board on the show.

[COLOR=#848484]I've always liked Jim's product reviews so I wasn't surprised when I saw this CES Show, knowing he would be in front of the camera. As many have already said he's always fair about his review but what I like most is his passion for what he does because it always comes out in his appearances. I’m sure Jim is proving to be a great CEO for Revision3, but his track record for on-air gadget reviews has been proven time and time again. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=#848484]Great show this week; I’m looking forward to the unleashing of the Norton and anticipating for the next evolution at Revision3.[/COLOR]

That... Was... Awesome!!
This probably was my favorite episode of TekZilla yet! It was very informative, got straight to the point and told you what was good, and what was bad.
Like everyone else, please have more CES content at the beginning of next week if possible! Thanks!
I like TekZilla, but I feel it is mostly held back to by the technical illiterate... Need to figure out a crowd: Newbies and novices or experienced to advanced. Like I said, it seems to be aimed almost too much to the novice crowd. Does Corbin really use a computer? Kind of like the one dude above said, she is pretty much just a sound board and someone to stop Pat from talking to himself which sadly made me feel good that Jim was replacing her this time. Sorry!
Thanks again,
Manna

[FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]1. LOVE Patrick Norton (for like years)
2. Jim Louderback did a great job
I have been watching _breaking_ CES coverage
from several sources.
I found out
that this CES coverage was not so much about content
..rather, who could get news out faster.
So you have to sift, you see.
I was BLOWN OUT about the *quality* CES coverage
Revision3 put out in record time.
Most of us out here WANT to see the show-stoppers
and you def came through.
Been loving tekzilla long-time
(well.. it is kinda new)
Paid Rev3 fan .. but I still have issues.
WHY is your show not offered in HD
.. like diggnation?
Why is diggnation the only
paid early content show
when Rev3 offers MANY great shows
.. that they could charge for early content.
These are the questions that swim in my head
when I see QUICK *quality* coverage
.. of a show that is hard to define
