Entertaining Focus For Tech Trade Show; Content Delivery Showcased; Big Consumer Electronics Show will be setting stage for huge advances in tech.(INTERNET & TECHNOLOGY)
Byline: PATRICK SEITZ
TV shows on mobile phones, high-definition video discs, next-generation wireless laptops and a new wave of living room computers will be among the wares vying for attention this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
The four-day CES, which starts Thursday, is the world's largest annual trade show for consumer technology. Companies often use it as a launching pad for new products.
Microsoft plans to tout its upcoming Windows Vista operating system, as well as its Xbox 360 video game console and software for mobile devices. Sony is expected to detail its rollout of the PlayStation 3 video game console.
Chipmaker Intel will discuss its upcoming home entertainment PC platform called Viiv and next-generation notebook PC platform, Napa.
Supporters of two optical disc formats angling to succeed the DVD will use the show as a high-profile soapbox to shout their advantages. The next-generation optical disc battle pits Sony's Blu-ray Disc against Toshiba's HD DVD. Products using the competing formats are expected to be available early this year in what could be a repeat of the costly VHS vs. Betamax videocassette recorder standoff of the late 1970s and early 1980s.
The 2006 CES is expected to draw more than 130,000 industry professionals and about 2,500 exhibitors. It's not open to the public. Last year's show attracted 146,000 attendees and 2,576 exhibitors.
