CES is coming up, so I've been researching exhibitors. I'm now up to 64 booths I want to visit, and I thought my notebook would make a couple interesting posts. This is part one.
Asus
Let's start with the biggie. Asus is exhibiting, and will also have a press conference on Tuesday the 5th. Asus probably won't announce an ebook reader, but I'm hoping that they will announce the rumored dual screen tablet.
Easypress Technologies
This company is fairly low on my list because I'm already familiar with it. It's a UK based software developer whose main product is an Epub conversion service. But if Adobe is on your list, you might want to stop by this booth.
iriver
Because it's the flagship product, the
iriver story will almost certainly be on display. Iriver only recently registered for CES 2010. When I last checked (about 3 weeks ago), iriver wasn't listed as an exhibitor.
Brother
This is another late registrant, and I'm still waiting to hear back on whether they'll bring the
SV-100B Document Viewer.
Update: At this time, only the sewing machine division is exhibiting at CES.
Samsung
Four different divisions of Samsung are listed as exhibitors, and there is a press conference on Tuesday. I've already asked the Samsung PR people about the
liseuses Samsung is selling in Korea; no word yet on whether they'll be on display.
Aiptek
This is a Taiwan based company, and it will be displaying their ebook reader, the
Story Book in Color. I discovered this company by accident; in describing their ebook reader Aiptek forgot to call it an ebook reader.
Bookeen
Bookeen will be bringing both the Cybook Gen3 and the Cybook Opus. BTW, this company's name is French for "Where's that firmware update you promised?". Seriously, though, I know why it hasn't been released but I'm not allowed to say.
