Our American visitors likely already know this, but international TechJapan visitors may not be aware that CES, the Consumer Electronics Show, is currently going o­n in Las Vegas, Nevada. It officially began o­n the 6th (today), and will continue until the 9th (Sunday).

Just like last year, there's already hundreds of English-language news sites covering the event; I'll therefore "leave it to them." Be sure you take a look -- plenty of companies are unveiling new products. I'm particularly excited about some of the new HD DVD items.
