# Last night Bill Gates kicked-off CES with his keynote speech: Vista's content handling, and integrating entertainment with web browsing is the focus.
# HD-DVD is shipping soon--we'll see content and players within weeks! Toshiba's HD-A1 will sell for $499, and is backwards compatible with DVDs and CDs, too.
# The biggest TVs ever...well, the biggest prototypes at least. We check out 82 and 84 inch LCDs from Sony and Samsung, respectively, and a huge 103 inch plasma from Panasonic.
# Motorola has a ton of new products: the greatly improved ROKR E2, the MINI bluetooth headset, Motorola's iRadio service, and the latest iteration of the RAZR (V3i). We got to play with all of them.
# Palm ditches their native OS with their latest handheld--the Treo 700w. The Windows Mobile device is the first to use the EV-DO network. Could this mean the end of the Palm OS?
# We set Martin Sargent loose on the floor of CES, and he came back with a bunch of weird, entertaining stuff--including the Wow Wee Alive Chimpanzee, a USB coffee warmer, the Loc8tor, and much more.
# Pentax has a couple of new cameras that happen to be cool enough for our show. The Optio A10 ($350) has 8MPs and shake reduction, while the E10 ($200) gives budget shoppers a 2.4" LCD and 6MPs.
# Sony's revolutionary eBook reader uses a "paper like display" that only uses power when you change pages. Plus, they've got loads of publisher support with Random House, Penguin-Putnam, and other big name publishers all coming on board. We just hope Sony will lay off the restrictive DRM...
# What happens when you put a firewall, intrusion detection, a spyware killer, anti-virus, and a slew of other security features in an auto-updating box? D-Link's SecureSpot ($99.95) does it all, and we can't wait to put it through its paces.
