The 2010 Consumer Electronics Show , which closed in Las Vegas on Sunday, was arguably the best in years in featuring products ready for primetime rather than the vapourware often on display.
Sony impressed with its 3D-readiness, there were plenty of appealing eReaders and smartphones on show, while new netbooks, smartbooks and tablets galore are on their way to the PC market.
Our round-up of the best of CES is after the jump with links to the announcements, our coverage and reviews from other tech sites.
Sony and Samsung led the way on 3D , Panasonic also promised a full lineup of 3D TVs by the spring and Toshiba emphasised 2D to 3D conversion and its forthcoming 3D Blu-ray player. The other big theme was internet connectivity, content and services. LG and Panasonic showed Skype video calls through the living room TV and Toshiba demonstrated its own version of a videophone. Blu-ray players and internet-integrated TVs will have more than Netflix streaming in future, with companies such as DivX, Vudu and Yahoo bringing hundreds of video channels, widgets and applications to this developing platform .
