Gadgetell | Tech News, Reviews, and Interesting Things

Keynotes: part press conference part play.  This years keynotes were dramatic and if there was a common theme running in them this year it is this: we are making stuff up.  Not faking it, but making products, services, and plans for which there is no real, solid revenue acquisition model yet.  Far from working on things that make no sense, the keynotes highlighted each companies sandbox and the possibilities our head-long leap into technology can bring us.  These possibilities are not so much about a killer product, but a killer revolution, each aimed at disrupting how we live, work or play.  It is an exciting time in technology.

So with that in mind, I bring you, with with the help of our on-site Gadgetell team who nobly risk their lives (or at least their circadian sleep cycle to bring you all the latest the ground from Vegas.

We are here at the General Motors keynote, the second keynote on day two of the show. The folks are starting to pile in and we will be getting started in about 25 minutes (4:30 pm pacific, 7:30 pm eastern). Last year Ford got a bunch of attention at CES, between Bill Gate’s Sync announcement and the Ford keynote. That momentum has continued into this year as more and more companies seem to be pairing up with Ford. GM is really struggling and one would expect that being offered a keynote address would come with some big announcements.
