Let fellow tech-lovers know what you think about the latest and greatest.

I don't pay much attention to CES vaporware. No release dates and no prices. Let me know when any of this stuff hits the market.

I haven't really even seen any interesting news so far. Ars had a non-review of a Ubuntu phone they were not actually allowed to use. That's the kind of vaporware I'm talking about. Google and Apple don't do much at CES.

Windows 8 looks like it is going to go down in flames. This is a roundup:

Anything that has a price and specs is overpriced, in fact I don't know who is going to buy this stuff. $1100 for a Surface Pro netbook with a 10" screen? You could get a full-sized laptop for half that.

OLPC has a reputation for not shipping and not hitting their price points. If they had a tablet in Wal-Mart, it would be nice, but they have trouble competing with regular low-end manufacturers. Wal-Mart can get all the cheap tablets they want from off-brand electronics suppliers. I'm sure Wal-Mart would go along with OLPC to get feel-good points with the general public, if the tablet ever makes it to market.

Yeah, CES was quite uneventful this year.

Oh well....

CES happened? Oh. I guess I'll have the same reaction when E3 rolls by.

I was unimpressed with CES this year.

I didn't see much, but I think the 3D printer is cool and that X-Box thing was awesome, but I feel like it will stop being fun after a few days, just like Kinect and the Wii.
