Consumer Devices Continue Innovation Amid Flailing Economy

摘要

Manufacturers of consumer electronics - like those in many other industries - are trying to deal with the current economic situation and the impending reports and predictions about how the consumer is going to spend its money. As an example, the Consumer Electronics Association pulled back its forecast late last year from a 3.5% fourth-quarter wholesale shipment revenue increase over 2007 down to 0.1%. There is still a lot of innovation, however, to meet the needs of current and next-generation efforts such as Dis-playPort, HDMI, and wireless applications. And, most of that innovation will be on display at this year's International CES in Las Vegas, Jan. 8 to 11. In this section, we've highlighted some of products that will be exhibited during the show.
