Unusually, the UltraHD Alliance held a press event late on the evening of the first press day at CES, but we went along anyway. Despite the relaxation (mostly liquid!) at the CES Unveiled event and jetlag, we managed to stay awake! We followed up with a meeting in the Westgate with Victor Matsuda of Sony. … Read more
The last dedicated press event of CES is Showstoppers. It is, in fact, the original event, with a format which CES Unveiled and Pepcom follow. However, it is slightly smaller than either, with seating areas and more chances to talk to companies. E Ink was showing a very interesting flexible display prototype: the Wove Band, … Read more
3M had several groups at the show.

On the display side, 4K content and new delivery standards (i.e. Ultra HD Premium) took center stage but one strikingly evident fact also remains.

Drunk people can’t be trusted, so the iPhone D features a leash, waterproof cover and – a nice touch – a pre-cracked screen. The best part? It … Read more
