Many of you know that the biggest event in consumer electronics, CES, is coming next month during January 6th to the 9th. It’s a very exciting time for gadget bloggers because large electronics companies debut new products for the year. Sony begins their preparations many months before CES, and their booth usually has their latest products, dozens of televisions, interactive product displays, and so much more. Another exciting aspect is the people who are in the booths – it’s not uncommon to be amongst celebrities and high ranking officials of various companies.
For a mild mannered Sony blogger such as myself it is an overwhelming prospect to visit CES, as there is so many people to meet, and so much to cover for our readers out there.
What’s truly interesting is that there won’t be a big Sony keynote this year for CES 2011. This is big a contrast in comparison to 2009 where Chairman, President and CEO of the Sony Corporation Howard Stringer, Tom Hanks, Usher, Reggie Jackson, Dr. Oz and others were present. However, Sony brought some star power to last year’s press conference with a surprise performance by country music sensation Taylor Swift and appearances by CEO Howard Stringer, Nigel Barker, etc.
Sony sent me an image that (click to enlarge) to remind us that they will have quite the showing for CES 2011. In past teaser pictures, Sony often had many boxes of various equipments together, but this time the teaser picture is a humongous wooden box. My guess its some sort of large display. Perhaps it’s a huge Internet TV like they had in the recent commercial. What do you think?
