This weekend in Las Vegas at the annual International Consumer Electronics show revealed many products that may actually have an impact on technology for years to come, despite the usual flops that come from this show. Here are a few of the gadgets that were on display:
Tablet-
Touch-screen tablet computers were one thing that were a theme of the show. The devices were a slew of potentional competitors for the Apple iPad. Some of the models had certain hardware that the iPad doesn't yet have such as front-and-rear cameras for video chatting, high-def video recording capabilities, and 4G.
3-D Tvs with glasses-
Last year, the thing that was supposed to catch on was 3-D for televisions, but it didn't go as planned. But some companies such as Vizio and LG are trying a different take on the 3-D, which would make the glasses light and inexpenive like the ones that consumers use at movie theaters, rather than the bulky, expenisve and battery-powered glasses that the TV sets of 2010 would have needed.
Free TV on the go-
Television on portable gadgets may become more popular this year. TV broadcasters are adding signals to towers and those signals will help small gadgets like laptops and cell phones get TV. Associated Press reported that it was unclear about how interested the public will be in this technology.
