After the conclusion of our first long day of meetings and floor walking and image gathering, we've got even more CES goodness to show off.
Manveer brings us word of a much-to-pricy gaming chair from D-BOX. Of course, that's part of the fun of CES: we all get to check out equipment we would love to have but could never afford. Not to say that the affordable stuff isn't nice as well, but 150" TVs and $15000 chairs just have something your avearge media player or phone can't quite compete with.
For another look at some display technology, Manveer also stopped by Samsung. Among the hardware was an array of OLED displays that looked quite good. Of coures, this technology isn't ready for prime time desktop displays yet. It seems like we've been waiting forever for OLED technology to reach the desktop, and while we won't get our hopes to high, the pervasiveness of OLED technology at CES certainly seems to be a good sign. Samsung was also showing off their much more mature LCD technology. This includes their incredible 3840x2160 82" display that is built from 4 1080p panels. This puts Samsung very close to the IBM T-221 resolution of 3840x2400, and is able to be used as a single display or 4 seperate displays in one.
AMD promised us a single slot dualGPU 3870 based card in January when they launched their 3000 series hardware, and they've at least come through on showing it off at CES. Anand brings us some images of the card itself. While we don't have our hands on it yet, you can be sure we will test AMD's high end part as soon as possible.
Ryan Smith brought us a couple updates from the show floor and some great in depth coverage of Paul Otellini's day one keynote.
As for off site information, we have a couple cool tidbits.
Gizmodo shows off Alienware's 2880x900 cureved DLP display. This thing looks crazy at it's 4 curved side by side panels designed to be really immersive. The prototype had some issues, but Alienware say's they'll be worked out by the time this is available.
Engadget has a mobile media player supporting WiMAX. Bringing city wide broadband to ultraportable devices is the holy grail to proponents of streaming media. Combine that with good battery life and a good interface and we could get really excited about it. Of course, stuff like this usually sounds better than it turns out to be -- that is until Apple decides to try its hand at it.
DailyTech is reporting another twist in the HD format wars. Apparently Paramount has a clause in its HD-DVD exclusivity agreement that allows it to back out if Warner sides with Blu-ray. This doesn't mean that Paramount will drop out, just that they have the ability to do so without concequence now that Warner has played its hand. The HD DVD Group's lack of CES presence and absense of new HD-DVD related announcements from Paramount also looks favorable for Blu-ray.

While the war isn't over, and Anand was right to advise consumers not to make a choice yet, the faster the war ends the faster we could see the HD content market really take off. Here's to hoping Blu-ray takes advantage of this opportunity and puts a quick end to the war. If they slip up at this point we could see a much more protracted format war that does nothing but hurt consumers.
Aside from all the CNBC coverage, the G4 network (which bought TechTV) has clips from yesterday's live coverage up on its web site. They've also got some photos from around the show and they should start to add more coverage this evening as they continue to report live from the show floor on G4.
Continue checking back with us through out the day for more blog updates and coverage information.

Foxy1,Every single comment you make is negative at this site. Go find another site to complain about because your dribble is getting old.

Not "every single comment" I make is negative. Apparently you missed my remark about Jarred's beauty.And have you never heard of constructive criticism? I'm sure Anand and team appreciate my remarks.

Rather then one big ces update at the end of the day they're doing them through out the day, dont see what the problem is.psychobriggsy - Wednesday, January 9, 2008 - link
I liked the one-per-day articles. They had information, analysis, in-line pictures and specifications.They've gone backwards to being a picture book.

I have to say that I also preferred the 'one article per day' coverage of CES. Each to his own.Cheers, Beastie.

Perhaps those numbers tell us that Ryan, Gary and Jarred are busy writing articles, while Anand and Manveer are chilling at CES, trying to beat each other in the contest.Winner gets an ASUS T-shirt, I imagine.
