Podcast Predictions: Tablets, High-Powered Processors and 3-D to Dominate CES!

This week is about the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show, aka CES. CES is a weeklong preview of what kinds of gadgets you’ll see in 2011. Tablets are likely to be big at CES this year, just as they were in 2010. But in 2011, i think manufacturers’ promises might even come true.

LG, MSI, Motorola and Toshiba are all rumored to be releasing tablets. HP, which acquired Palm earlier this year, is also planning to release a webOS-based tablet in the coming year. Intel and AMD are both working on next-generation processors, including Intel’s “Sandy Bridge” CPUs and AMD’s “Fusion” line of chips that combine CPU capabilities and graphics processing in a single package. Which means it has Lower power, longer-lasting netbooks and tablets.

There will be lots of 3-D televisions at the show, but what i more excited about is the advent of more 3-D cameras and camcorders, like one that Fujifilm introduced in 2010. If you could actually make your own 3-D pictures and movies easily, you might have a reason to buy 3-D displays like the Nintendo 3DS, who knows? Like the show? You can also get the Gadget Lab video podcast on iTunes.
