CES 2017 - What's Hot this Year

Remember Comdex?    Me too but now CES only exists every year early January where startups, established businesses come together to showcase new products for the upcoming year.

This year is no different, so what is hot coming into 2017.

• Huge 4K TVs that are incredibly thin.
• Mobile Phone Upgrades
• Photography Upgrades
• Tri-screen Laptop who want to go big?
• Cars - from cool tech to auto driving technologies
• Smart Appliances and IoT
• Wireless and Networking
• Smart Wearable and Wireless Headphones
• Drones and more cool toys

Many of these technologies are carry-overs from last years which gained steam over the holidays.   When I see TVs growing to 80 inches, I think of all of the small apartments in SF I had over the years and think, "Where the hell is that going to fit?" 

Mobile Phones will continue to grow faster loaded with more memory and ram to meet the demands

and run complicated apps and games.    The current handset market cover smaller phones to the oversized plus versions from the big three (Apple, Samsung and Windows.)

The car market is ripe to for technologies like on-board wifi, secure networks connected to your local shop,  entertainment pods and more.   I love cars and tech so I'm really excited to see what comes next.

Wearables are here and getting better.  I've had a fitbit and returned it because it was falling off so I waited for a new version with a watch style band.   It recently arrived so I'm on the fence of which one to buy.    The new fitbit is on the top of my list based on the new features including integrated GPS and tie ins into so many third party applications.

Stay tuned for more CES Reviews.
