Comments on: Off To CES http://www.gizmolovers.com/2009/01/03/off-to-ces/ TiVo, Slingbox, Blu-ray Disc, and whatever tech I feel like blogging about...

In fact nothing of importance at all really. And no tru2way stuff from anybody that I can see. And Microsoft didn't even mention the XBox experience or the media center stuff in Windows 7 I don't think. Some exciting stuff, like the Palm Pre. And wireless HDMI is starting to look real, if still a ways off in price for most of us. And some new netbooks, though not as much change there as you might have hoped for--for example no models with the new NVidia chipset. The Sony Vaio P is interesting though. Nice to see Yahoo widgets everywhere. And Netflix. And Amazon On Demand starting to see a foothold too. But still little to no mention of Hulu, CBS, ABC web video support... Really? Widgets over content? In a down economy? Well, no new Tivo hardware at CES. In fact nothing of importance at all really. And no tru2way stuff from anybody that I can see.

Please, it's only deployed in Chicago (Comcast) and according to a contact at the NCTA DVR tru2way specs haven't even been shared with retail manufacturers yet. In fact, I bet TiVo will not have any new hardware THIS YEAR. I expect something like the New Xbox Experience though, with a total overhaul of the UI on S3/HD models.
