CES 2011 in PJs

CES in PJs
This may be the best way to attend the International
Consumer Electronics Show ever. I attended
virtually, in the comfort of my home office, with no
$1,500 airfares, no Ai rport parking or check-in
hassles, no $500/night hotel rip-offs, no waiting in
long cab lines, no sore feet, on-the-go snacks, no
gambling losses, and … get this… no credit card debt.
I’ve attended either COMDEX or CES in Las Vegas for
over 20 years now, and I had hoped to be there
again this year but couldn’t justify the cost. So, I
stayed home and monitored everything online.
What follows is my “trip report” summary, which is
based on my own analysis, as well as that of
hundreds of other analysts. You’ll see that I’ve
included links to many online video demos and
presentations. Watching them is almost like being
there, and in many ways better.
CES conference sessions being together industry
experts as speakers on hot topics, but since I
couldn’t attend in person, I’ll just order recordings
to listen to later in the car. I used to do this to
resolve conflicts with meetings or other sessions or
just to give me more time on the show floor to see
the demos, but this year it’s because I stayed home.

The three biggest stories at CEA 2011 were:
1. Tablets,
2. 4G Phones, and
3. 3D & Internet-connected TV

TABLETS:
There were nearly 80 of them, based on Android, which owned the show, Windows 7, and Palm. There
was nothing new from Apple, since the company generally avoids the media “clutter” of CES and makes
their announcements when they can get ALL of the attention.

Wayne Caswell CAZITech Consulting January 2011

 The future of computing is mobile. Although desktops and notebooks won’t go away, growth
appears to be in tablets and smart phones. That’s a big problem for Microsoft & Intel, because
Apple (iOS) and Google (Android) provide the dominant operating systems, and Intel has no lock
on the processors used. Cloud computing only needs a good browser and Internet connection.
 Analysts expect Apple iPad to continue dominating this year with at least 60%, even with
Android hype.
 Consumer Reports was not that impressed with the tablet lineup and concluded that generally
the tablets were overpriced. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Xz5w7zVGHc)
 Google’s Android 3.0 'Honeycomb' operating system, however, looks Gorgeous.
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPUGNCIozp0)
 Motorola Xoom, which won CES Best-of-Show, was one of the first tablets to support
Honeycomb. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nR0eRLxIT34)
 Most tablets were Wi-Fi only or Wi-Fi and 3G, but there were a few with 4G, including the Dell
Streak (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/06/dell-streak-7_n_805388.html).
 Panasonic’s Viera tablet (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B54IioqIi3c) acts as a universal
remote for their Viera TVs. Visio also introduced a tablet that acts as a remote
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXvjTwOq8UE). Using the tablet or phone as remote is a
definite trend, and I predict Bluetooth (cheap) or Wi-Fi (already included) will replace Infrared
for sending control signals, at least for TVs and set-top boxes. Other CE devices like ProLogic
receivers need to follow suit.

4G PHONES:
 Motorola’s Atrix (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChWPIHjKld0) has a 2GHz processor (PC in
a phone) and won a Best of CES award in this category.
 4G Phone OS market share: Blackberry (33% & falling), Android (26% & rising), iOS (25% and
stable).
 AT&T said it would sell the older iPhone 3GS (the one I have) for the subsidized price of $49 with
a 2-year contract on its older 3G network. That will help them compete with the slew of new 4G
phones, but I wouldn’t lock myself into a long term contract on older technology.
 Verizon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RomMe6Om29E) said it already covers ~30% of
the US with 4G LTE, delivering broadband speeds of 5-12Mbps. They also described aggressive
plans to reach 50% penetration this year, including in rural markets, and 100% in 3yrs,
overlaying competing wired nets. Of course, Verizon also announced 10 new 4G phones &
tablets from 3rd parties. Verizon made another big play by announcing home energy and security
service to broadband consumers later this year, which let people track energy use and program
thermostat and other appliances. (http://ces.cnet.com/2300-32492_1-10006120.html)
 Verizon Update – The week after CES Verizon announced the launch of a 3G (CDMA-capable)
iPhone 4 from Apple, which will be available Feb.10 with preorders Feb.3. The phone will
feature Verizon’s mobile hotspot service, which allows other devices to use the phone’s Wi-Fi
support to access the Internet. It’s a non-exclusive multi-year deal that could open the iPhone to
Sprint and other CDMA carriers. Note that it’s NOT a 4G phone.
 What was unsaid speaks volumes. None of the carriers discussed wireless service plans for these
4G phones. The market will stall, and 4G will get a bad reputation, if users face high usage
charges on devices designed to consume bandwidth. What’s the point of downloading or
streaming great content or of placing video calls if doing so crashes your bank account? Getting
the service plan pricing right is a strategic and critical decision, but CES gave us no hints.


3D & Internet-connected TV
 3D is hot but relatively expensive, consuming twice the storage and bandwidth, and not
improving the experience that much, according to some analysts at CES. For my money, I’d go
for the largest and highest quality LCD TV with a great Internet connection and user interface to
PC and over-the-top video content. The Diffusion Group seems to agree, saying sales of 3D TVs
remain lukewarm while sales of broadband-enabled TVs continue to ramp.
 The big story is likely to be with 4G phones, tablets and notebooks, where a single user can get
an OK 3D experience without wearing 3D glasses. That’s also because people replace their
phones more often than their TVs.
 TVs still require glasses, but Consumer Reports describes a trend toward passive 3D glasses
versus ones with active electronics
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xAXYGqHg74&feature=uploademail). Most 3D TVs ship
with 2 glasses, but a large family may need to buy more, and active glasses cost over $100 per
pair while passive ones are less than $20.

Over-the-top TV:
The Microsoft & Cisco announcements described below were interesting to me because I wanted to
replace an aging DVD player with Bluray and had been looking for the best solution for over-the-top TV.
But I was unhappy with any product I considered so far. You see, I also want the Internet experience on
the TV, with access to Hulu, Netflix, Pandora, YouTube, and any other Internet video; and I want to
access PC content (music, photos, videos) on the TV.
I bought a Sony PS3 for Christmas, mostly because of the company’s leading role in Blueray
development. I also thought the powerful Cell processor inside would handle future changes better than
its competition, but I found the user interface to be horrible and returned it because the built-in Wi-Fi
was based on the older 802.11g and didn’t have enough bandwidth for smooth HD video streaming
from the PC.
I considered Apple because the company makes things simple, but it won’t access my PC content. I
would buy Xbox and Kinect if it had Blueray, but it has HD-DVD instead, and that’s a dead format. So I
next started looking for a good Blueray player with built-in Wi-Fi (.11a/b/g/n) and DLNA (to act as a PC
Media Center Extender). Since the players I considered were all sold out, I decided to hold off on buying
anything and started asking CES attendees for their recommendations.
MICROSOFT’S keynote (http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/exec/steve/2011/01-05CES.mspx)
featured Xbox360, XboxLive and Kinect and got me questioning the need for a Blueray or DVD player if I
can (1) easily access movies from my PC and (2) access all sorts of streaming content from the Internet
(Netflix, HuluPlus, Zune & ESPN coming this Spring). Especially interesting was how Kinect’s gesture
interface and voice commands could control video content. Also interesting was the added social
networking experience while watching sports and other content, including the ability to chat as an
avatar. Avatar Chat is free with the fee-based XboxLive Gold Connect.
• I was NOT impressed with the Windows 7 phones, except for their active buttons (versus static
app icons).
• Microsoft did nothing to push Windows 7 on tablets, a mistake IMHO.
• A few cool Windows 7 notebook PCs featured:


 Intel SandyBridge processor (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs2An7rnhp8), which
combines CPU/GPU/NorthBridge for up to 20x graphic performance and 6.5hr battery life
 AMD Fusion processor (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5X-KO9CPedo), which also
combines CPU/GPU and offers 9hr battery life
 Acer’s Iconia dual-screen laptop (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8Nfss0jC90), which
has two touch-screen displays. The keyboard surface appears when you touch the bottom
screen with 10 fingers.
 Several PC/tablet combinations, including one with Intel’s Oak Trail processor, which is
passively cooled and needs no fan
 Samsung’s Sliding tablet (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XP5XxqrfSno) is a dual-core,
Windows 7 tablet & netbook combined
 Xi3’s Modular Computer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8ZbL3keDWw) is a PC with a
small, cube form-factor and an exchangeable backplane
 Toshiba’s eyeglass-free 3D display technology in notebook
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAS5Iu4oX2A) signals a trend where small, single-user
devices can offer 3D capabilities without glasses more easily than large TVs. Content
providers will likely target such PCs and 4G phones as their primary 3D market since these
devices are replaced more frequently than TVs.
 A new and improved version of Microsoft Surface, the very large screen touch display used
horizontally in tabletops or vertically in news rooms
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5S-hMVkC-0)
 New Windows platform support for system-on-a-chip processors, such as systems based on
Intel’s Atom and ARM-based processors. NVidia has the most interesting ARM plans.

NVidia's Project Denver (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKmaYcdPbRk&feature=uploademail) -- At
the tail end of their Tegra 2 press event, NVdia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang quietly dropped something of a
bombshell -- NVidia's "Project Denver." Working in concert with the folks at ARM, NVidia has obtained
the rights to build their own CPU based on ARM's future processor architecture, which is an embedded
version of the tried-and-true x86 architecture. NVidia, which is known mostly for high-end graphic cards
for gaming, is now directing its efforts at powering PCs, workstations, and supercomputers, with high-
performance chips that are integrated onto the same chip as the NVidia GPU. ARM is the world’s largest
CPU installed base but mostly in embedded apps. Since developers will now be able to leverage their
skills & S/W to other platforms, NVidia becomes a new challenger to Intel.
CISCO’S Videoscape (http://www.cisco.com/web/solutions/sp/video/index.html?expanded=1) really
caught my attention, and I think it could be a game changer for many reasons, including Cisco’s tight
relationship with broadband service providers. Here’s what I liked about Cisco’s Connected Home
presence:
• Linksys home networking
• Scientific Atlanta set-top box
 Videoscape STB
 Videoscape Residential Gateway (voice/data/video, USB)
• Flip camera
• Umi telepresense
• EOS media enabled home
 Targeted, less-intrusive ads, interative/shopping, rating/comments
• SW architecture for Service Providers


 Content, user experience, managed services/devices
 Bring together: TV + Internet + Communications + Mobility
 Easily access any content over any device and any network
 Simple, Visual, Social, Mobile
 Any device, immersive, consistent/synched, transcoded, secured
 High-end router handles 1 billion videos
 Requires Intelligence throughout the network
 Tight integration of Cloud, Networks & Devices
• What about Search? How will you find interesting video content over the airwaves, through
subscription services, and free online? And what about the videos you rip or record and store
locally, including archives of recorded video calls and your Life Recordings (once you start
wearing a camcorder)?
Real Networks Unifi (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7qLVy1uIB4) won a Best of CES award in the
Software category for managing all of your digital media files from anywhere. I philosophically like the
concept but don’t think it will have as much market impact as Cisco’s Videoscape.
Lifesize Communications (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiPaxKHBLS8) is an Austin-based
company that was recently acquired by Logitech. Their full HD quality video telepresence should
compete well with Cisco’s Uni telepresence and will be attractive where service providers are not
adopting Cisco Videoscape. It only needs bandwidth of about 1Mbps for HD quality video calls, meaning
most broadband connections should handle it. Equipment cost is about $1,000.
Skype Mobile (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekWwmc0JjU4), which is free for 4G smart phones,
should also help propel video conferencing into the living room on the HDTV. I’m a huge proponent of
high-quality telepresence because of its benefits for Telework, Telemedicine, Distance Learning, Family
Communications, and more.
Google TV
The need for a good video search engine leaves the door open for Google TV, but expected CES
announcements never happened. Rumors are that Google asked its partners to hold back
announcements until its software could be polished. I agree with The Diffusion Group that Google will
be a big player in this space. Even with their existing search engine, it should be relatively easy to find
video content, even down to specific frames within it, by indexing the Closed Captioning text. Speech
recognition could be used for videos that don’t already have captioning by adding the text metadata
later. Videos with no commentary will still be a challenge, however, but I believe researchers are
working on that too.

State of the Consumer Electronics Market
This CES summary from Tom Edwards of the Consumer Electronics Association has good info about the
state of the CE market.
“The Consumer Electronics Show was a huge success!”
Preliminary estimates indicate that there were 140-thousand attendees at the 2011 Consumer
Electronics Show. Even the last session on Sunday was well attended.
The show’s success is indicative of the success of the 2010 Holiday season. Consumer electronics
sales were stronger than anticipated. The CE industry rebounded from their cautious buying
trend and rallied in 2010. New technologies were accepted but consumers maintained
enthusiasm about familiar products that have become increasingly affordable.
Total CE industry revenues in 2010 reclaimed most of the dollars lost in the previous year,
climbing to $180 billion, a 6 percent jump from 2009’s total of $170 billion.
CE revenue growth in 2011 is expected to be 3½ percent. Not bad considering that the average
selling prices are expected to continue to decline in almost every product category. The
Consumer Electronics Association’s MarketMetrics group’s release of the January U.S. Consumer
Electronics Sales & Forecasts 2006-2011 and the 2014 Five Year Forecast shows strengths and
weaknesses of 100+ CE products.
The bright spots are:
 Home Audio
 Home Information Technologies/Home Security
 Video Components
 Mobile In-Vehicle Entertainment Products
 Electronic Gaming
 Portable Communication
 Accessories
 Blank Media


The product categories with declining revenue are:
 Portable Entertainment
 Digital Imaging
 In-Vehicle Information and Security
 Television Sets and Displays
The U.S. Consumer Electronics Sales & Forecasts 2006-2011 also reveals that three-quarters or
more of United States households now have digital televisions, DVDs, home PCs, home Internet
access, digital cameras, wireless telephones and car CD players.
For more information about the U.S. Consumer Electronics Sales & Forecasts 2006-2011 and the
2014 Forecast Key Product Forecast contact Tom Edwards at tedwards@ce.org.

Interesting Outtakes:
 GM’s en-v electric car (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUDcEZufAB4)
is based on 2-wheel Segway technology, is 4’ shorter than SmartCar,
networks with other En-v’s, can drive itself autonomously, return to its
charging station, and drive tandum (train-like). It’s designed as a city car,
possibly as a rental or as a taxi. Imagine calling one from your phone and
having it drive itself to your location within minutes. Then when you drive
to your destination, just leave it, and it will return home or to its next
customer.
 Automotive – The integration of consumer electronics technologies into the vehicle interior is
fueling future driving experiences. Continental, one of the world's largest automotive suppliers,
is engineering hardware, software and systems that are powering the vehicle with an "Always
On" connection and linking drivers and passengers to content and information in new ways.
 BIG TV – Want the world’s largest 3D HC TV? Check out this one from Samsung.
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4i1EQ1Niaiw)
 Small (10”) 3D mobile TVs receive future local, over-the-air 3D broadcasts
 ActiveEye sun glasses with built-in SD camcorder & integrated display for Life Recording
 3D Cameras & Camcorders, mostly from Sony, are cool when connected to a 3D TV (Sony
Bloggie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7n8ucFPGoE and camcorder
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cA0X5rfpuhE)


 iTwin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIQmoXHVxYs) is a paired set of hardware-secured
USB adapters that let one PC access another for remote file sharing
 USB 3.0 (aka SuperSpeed USB) is the next generation that’s up to 10x faster than USB 2.0 (High-
Speed USB). At 5Gbps, it’s fast enough to copy a 5GB HD movie onto your notebook PC in just 60
seconds. USB 3.0 also offers twice the charging power for devices plugged in to USB ports.
 Home Networking. Although I have strong interests in Home Networking, I did not follow those
announcements since they got less media attention, but here’s some coverage by Connected
Planet mentioning Wi-Fi, HomePlug and MoCA announcements.
(http://connectedplanetonline.com/residential_services/news/home-networking-moves-front-
and-center-0110/)
 iRobot. Did I just see the future of home robots?
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCE48yK179g) Regardless of form-factor, I like the idea of
building a modular robot on an iPad or Android tablet platform with camera, microphone,
wireless home network, and Internet access. Someone could buy this sort of device for one
simple application and expand it with new 3rd party apps over time. I also envision equipping it
with peripherals, such as robot arms, as needed, but otherwise keeping its design simple and
friendly. Such modularity could be used to create a camp of developers whose success depends
on the robot’s success. If that’s not iRobot’s vision, it’s one that should attract big partners like
Apple, HP, Google, or Microsoft. It sounds like an investment opportunity.
 Augmented Reality, promoted by Qualcom (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I70RKhXneEM).
 The future of Print Media. Qualcom’s Director of Marketing, Cheryl
Goodman, spoke about the future of print publications and how they should
integrate print and online content. While she spoke, I envisioned putting
MIT’s bokode (replaces the barcode, see image) on the printed page, where
the reader can use their camera or tablet to photo the image and thus go
directly to the related web page.
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpfyNT_mIaE) In another interview she
discussed the challenge of communication file size and bandwidth requirements for online
digital content, which includes HD & 3D TV. The fact that Qualcom sees this as a problem makes
me think they “get it” and may be a good investment, especially given their leading cell phone
chipsets and technologies.
That’s the end of the “Trip Report”.

Want Even More? Check out this long list of CNET Videos
CNET had a huge staff covering CES, working out of a large on-site studio, and there were many other
media outlets there too. That made it easy for me to watch video demos or highlights of presentations.
To give you a sense of how much media coverage CES gets, and how easy it is to attend CES virtually like
I did, here’s a list of CNET coverage alone. Each one links to a video, photo collection, podcast, news
story, or analysis. Of course I couldn’t watch them all, and you won’t want to either, but they’re here in
case you want to browse the list and come back later.
