We have [ unk ] on this one. No, not so much cats suspended from poles with human- like features-- no. Oh there, that's better. Look how slim this TV is. How'd they do that? I'd expected this year's show was full of tablets. While several are available now, will be available in the near future, it's best to wait until around April or so before making a purchase if you're in the market for one. But then we'll likely have the next iPad, the Blackberry PlayBook, HP's Palm- infused webOS tablet, and a whole bunch of tablets running the next version of android called Honeycomb, which has been specifically designed for tablets, unlike current models that run a blown- up version of the same android software found on cellphones. 4G wireless networks and devices will be fully rolled out by all four major US carriers this year as well. Pricing will be a little on the high side at first, but it shouldn't take too long to settle in to what we're used to paying for 3G service currently. Chip makers Intel and AMD both showed up next- generation processor architectures that streamline data shuffling much more efficiently than just about any under- the- hood advancement in computing in the past 20 years. As a result, we'll see laptops that further minimize the tradeoffs between power and battery life. We'll have thinner and lighter designs, more gain in high definition video, and far fewer compromises. And finally, the 3- D TV hysteria that the industry tried to stir up at last year's show was replaced this year by a newer, more practical smart TV initiative. The next TV set you buy will very likely feature an internet connection, onscreen widgets, and easy access to popular online video services like Youtube, Netflix and the Hulu. 3- D TV won't go away. It'll just get added as a standard feature sooner or later, similar to how all TV sets can display high definition video nowadays. All of the shows set the stage for plenty of exciting technology advancements to play out a little bit in the coming year. And after walking 3. 2 million square feet Las Vegas Convention Center for a few days, I'm off to soak my feet. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Aftermath of the Consumer Electronics Show","description":"The 2011 Consumer Electronics Show has officially come to a close.
