Panasonic DMP-B15 Portable Blu-Ray Wins CES 2010 Award
Today Panasonic won a CES 2010 Innovations award for their DMP-B15, the world's first portable Blu-ray player. The B15 will be shown off at CES 2010 along with all of the other award honorees. It's not hard to see why the B15 won this year. There are no other portable Blu-ray players on the market. If you want to watch your Blu-ray disks while on the go, your options are either the B15, or a really expensive laptop.
The B15 displays its videos on an 8.9" WSVGA LCD screen. It has an Ethernet connection which gives it access to Viera Cast, a Panasonic service through which users can access Amazon Video-on-Demand and YouTube. There's also an SD reader, for the folks who want to transfer their Blu-ray collection to a more portable form. In addition, the B15 has an HDMI input, which allows it to also serve as a standalone Blu-ray player.

ICD To Unveil Android Tablet At CES 2010
While all the analysts and bloggers speculate over the iTablet and the Courier, ICD has a tablet PC heading for CES 2010 that actually exists. And it runs Android 2.0, which adds about 15 extra points to its Geek Cred. While CNet says that full details won't emerge until CES 2010, the company has already put out a thorough PDF about the product.
The tablet, named Vega, will come in 7", 11", and 15.6" versions. The resistive touchscreen will be capable of displaying 262,000 colors, and the whole tablet will be powered by an Nvidia Tegra processor. It'll have 512 MB of RAM and 512 MB of NAND Flash memory. Video conferencing will be possible with this tablet, thanks to its front-facing 1.3 MP camera. While the internal memory on this thing is going to suck, you will be able to use a 32 GB micro SD card to store your media.

Sony XBR12 OLED TV Will Be 21'', Debute At CES 2010
Don't lie; if you had thousands of dollars of expendable income to burn through, you'd buy one. OLED TVs are too hot for any geek to not want, and too expensive for most of us to even consider. While we don't have too long to wait before OLED becomes cheaper than LCD, it's still a few years off. This year at CES 2010 we'll get a chance to see a major step forward in this technology.

JVC Wins CES 2010 Innovations Award
Alright, so this announcement sounds a little lame compared to LG's seventeen freaking awards. JVC just gets one award this year, but it's for something cool; the DLA-HD990 home theater projector. If you have a giant chunk of disposable income and a big living room, you too might be a good candidate for the joys of projector ownership.

LG Electronics Wins 17 Awards, CES 2010
Today at the 2010 CES Innovations Awards LG Electronics swept 17 different honors. They received "Best of" recognition in Video Display, and also won awards in Eco-Design, Sustainable Technology, Online Audio/Video Content, High Performance Audio, and Wireless Handsets. The 2010 CES Awards mark LGs 100th award (and then some) in the last 7 years. I'd imagine some engineers are about to get hefty bonuses.

Technocel PowerPak Wins CES 2010 Award
Speaking as an annoyingly-frequent traveler, rechargeable battery packs are one of the single most useful products in the world. There are some times when your cell phone or GPS just can not run out of battery. Any company that can put out a truly solid advance to that line of technology wins so very many kudos from me. This year, one of the top rechargeable battery products was the Technocel PowerPak, which won a Best of Design award at the CES 2010 Engineering Awards.
CES 2010 showcases some of the most unique and well designed products made in the last year, and also features tons of demonstrations for new products coming up in the near future. The PowerPak is basically a portable battery-and-charger all in one. It works on all USB devices, and has an MSRP set at $49.99.

Hillcrest Labs Loop Pointer Made CES 2010 Innovations Honoree
We covered the Loop Pointer back when it first launched. Basically, this device from Hillcrest labs is a mouse that's designed to be held in the air and used to control a media box set-up from the comfort of your couch or lounge chair. It's a marriage between remote control and wireless mouse that, quite frankly, is one of the better product ideas I've heard of in months.
Tons of people these days have media boxes set up with their televisions. If you're going to spend thousands of dollars on a nice, giant LCD TV, you want it to have the optimum functionality it can have. By hooking it up to a computer you gain access to all of your movies, TV shows, and games without needing to switch out DVDs or plug in a console. The only bother with a media box is that the mouse and keyboard usually end up getting stuck somewhere to the side, forcing you to actually get up and move to use them.

Scosche Wins CES 2010 Award For tapSTICK iPod Shuffle Case
The wild popularity of iPods has given birth to an entire industry of specialized carrying cases built around the trendy media players. Today Scosche Industries, makers of the tapSTICK iPod shuffle protective case, announced that they've been designated an honoree for the 2010 CES Innovations Design and Engineering Award. I'm pretty sure this means they make one hell of an iPod shuffle case. Scotsche will be showing their new product off at next years CES show.
They'll be set up in the iLounge Pavilion, which is where all manner of 3rd party Apple peripheral manufacturers will be setting up their wears. The tapSTICK itself is a polycarbonate case which allows users to play, pause, adjust volume, skip tracks, and navigate using the VoiceOver feature. Both this product, and a bevy of other Scosche "made for iPod" and iPhone products will be on display this year.

Plastic Logic Que eBook Reader Debuts At CES 2010
Plastic Logic announced today the Que reader to be unveiled at the CES 2010. Plastic Logic says that the Que is the first proReader designed for business professionals.
Why is Plastic Logic announcing the Que already today and is not waiting to at least December as the CES 2010 is still over two month away? I assume it as to do with the Barnes&Noble ebook announcement scheduled for tomorrow.

Apple not attending CES 2010 despite WSJ Rumor
The CES 2010 will have an Apple exhibition hall. This news hit right after Apple left MacWorld for good. The so called iLounge Pavilion, co-sponsored by CEA and iLounge.com, will feature manufacturers and retailers of iPod and iPhone accessories, related products and services, and based on requests from vendors, will now grow to include leading Mac developers and retailers as well.
There has been no comment by Apple that they would join CES 2010. Today the WSJ breaks a rumor that Apple would attend CES 2010. The story says that Gary Shapiro from the CEA (CES organizers) has said so at a dinner. Engadget has a report up saying the opposite.

CES 2010 to be Stage for Windows 7 and OS X Snow Leopard Showdown?
Apple related products will have their own hall at the CES 2010 for the first time. Apple itself did not say yet if they are going to exhibit at the CES - most likely not. Still the iLounge Pavilion is featuring leading Mac developers and retailers. Apple stuff has been missing from CES completely because of MacWorld. Now things have changed since Apple decided to leave MacWorld.
CES 2010 could become the battle ground for the new operating systems from Microsoft and Apple. Both are expected to still launch in 2009, but when exactly is still up in the air. Of course it would be smart to have releases way before the holiday shopping season to drive sales in these hard economic times.

CES 2010 Apple iLounge Pavilion already a Success
The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) today announced that the new Apple specific iLounge Pavilion has already sold out and got extended in size four-fold.
As reported after Apple pulled out of MacWorld, the makers of the CES immediately approached exhibitors at MacWorld to jump ship in 2010 and join CES 2010 in Vegas instead. This is really bad for MacWorld 2010 and the makers have to come up with a new concept that possibly focuses entirely on the Apple community and scrap the exhibition.
The iLounge Pavilion, co-sponsored by CEA and surprise iLounge.com, will feature manufacturers and retailers of iPod and iPhone accessories, related products and services, and based on requests from vendors, will now grow to include leading Mac developers and retailers as well.

CES 2010 to welcome Apple according to new Rumor
We reported yesterday already that the CES organizers approached Macworld exhibitors to join CES 2010 next year instead of Macworld 2010. Apple Insider reports now that their sources tell them that Apple plans to attend CES 2010.
For CES this would be a major coup, one they badly need as the show is on its down turn right now. Apple's CES attendance would stir things up quite a bit and directly compete with Microsoft on the OS front, with all mobile handset makers on the smartphone front, with all PC and notebook makers on the computer front and with all media player makers - it would be fun!
