Telephones and computers becoming smaller at CES

Telephones increasingly powerful, ever-smaller computers and next-generation electronic books: specialists expect Hall of Electronic Products (CES) in Las Vegas devices that combine Internet access and easy to load.

The star of the annual event, taking place between Thursday and Sunday will be the first multifunction phone from Google, the "Nexus One" program based on Android, according to analyst Rob Enderle. The device will be presented, however, two days before the opening of the hall in the company headquarters in California.

"All eyes are on the Nexus One" says the analyst of Enderle Group in Silicon Valley.

"What else, of course, are pocket computers based on the Android program (the system developed by Google for mobile phones), which will debut at CES," says Enderle.

Dell's U.S. and Taiwan's HTC, which already makes several phones with Android, are waiting in this new area of literacy screens connected to the Internet.

The Indian Notion is also expected with high expectations, because of its new e-book device that promises to color screens equipped.

As for Apple, which once again will be absent from Las Vegas, will wait until later this month to present perhaps his own pocket computer, after evaluating the reception they receive the equipment from its competitors.

Such devices could end by erasing the boundary between the books, whose market is booming, and computers.

However, Enderle said he was convinced there would be "a marked contrast between the handheld computers and electronic books.

With respect to traditional computers, computer companies, whose sales in the last two years were held by those of "netbooks" and low-cost laptops, will present even more manageable devices, known as "SmartBooks (intelligent books) .

Among other trends identified by specialists, not least is the development of diffusion in 3D after confirming his success in film with the movie "Avatar" from James Cameron's 3D format could definitely land, according to Enderle. There are persistent rumors that promise 3D devices Samsung and LG.

Like every year, will be the software giant Microsoft, with its CEO, Steve Ballmer, who gives the kick-off the hall on Wednesday night.

Following the success of its new operating system Windows 7, the Redmond group announced progress on its project "Natal", a visual recognition system that allows voice commands to play without its XBox games console.

Although the ESC expects fewer exhibiting companies (2,500) due to the global economic crisis, including a record of 330 will be new to be submitted more than 20,000 news, from more efficient cables up whopping games.

"Finally," says Enderle, "we expect the hard landing WiMax" in Las Vegas, as this wireless internet access at a yield higher than the wireless, continues its slow expansion.
