The News at CES and MacWorld
The 40th Annual CES (Consumer Electronics Show) kicked off yesterday in Las Vegas — and even if you’re thousands of frigid miles away (as we are), you can be there virtually by following Engadget’s live coverage of the event.
And if you want to duck out virtually, take this virtual tour of the Venetian, where the conference is being held.
But we digress. The big news to come out of CES yesterday was DIRECTV’s announcement of their launch and carriage of 100 HD channels in 2007.
The big news today? Well, it might actually come from the MacWorld Conference and Expo in San Francisco, where today may be:
… the day we find out whether all the rumors are true and the Applephone and / or solid-state ultraslim MacBook and / or iTV and / or true wireless-video-touchscreen iPod will be announced (we’re not holding our breath on any of the above), or whether we’ll spend another few months sorting through rumor, speculation, and bad Apple product mockups.
The keynote at MacWorld will be broadcast live beginning at 12 noon EDT today; you can tune in for a webcast and get other breaking news from both conferences on the Engadget website.
