CES is my favourite time of year

I'm looking forward to seeing what android TV stb's get announced.

Also to see where hdmi 2.1 is at in 2019.

What are you keeping your eyes on this year?

I'm awaiting Microsoft's announcement that Windows Phone is making a comeback, with new low to mid-range phones available shortly. My Lumia battery is dying, and I really don't want to be forced down the Android path.

Expecting to be disappointed.

I want to see the continuation of size increases of the roll up tvs. First year 19” last year 40”. Wake me up when they hit projector screen size.

Nintendo Switch evolution.. I just want to see if they can somehow meet consumer demand for wii sports and sports resort to be played on the switch (updated version).

A revised Switch announcement would be great... I'm getting one soon, so it would be good to know if the rumours are true, or if I can take the plunge and buy it now.

I'm picking it'll largely be a year of jamming voice control into everything possible... voice controlled toasters, of course...

Got an email today from Amazon offering lots of really discounted Windows phones from Nokia and Alcatel.

Hopefully AMD gives some Ryzen 3,000 info.

Not quite to projector screen size, but LG have announced their 65” Signature R roll up TV. I guess my wallpaper TV is old hat now. I figure a price of about $NZ15000 when first released (65” W was $12000 initially) so not really a player for most.
When I can replace my 100” roll down projector screen with one without having to take out another mortgage, it may be worth considering.

Thanks for the offer. Unfortunately the Lumia 640 uses a different battery.
