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.

I see this info on Ectaco main page:

International CES 2010
7 -10 January 2010
Las Vegas, Digital/eBook TechZone Booth #12040

I will visit their booth to see if they are planning to make any updates for jetBook

So Nate, will you tell us what you know ? Or tell us why you can't tell ? Or shall I take your no-ansewer as "you lied and you can't tell anything because you don't know anything ?"

Since you appear to be the only one who actually cares and wants to be confrontational about his claim, you could send him a private message, or perhaps make a separate thread for the confrontation. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would appreciate the courtesy.

How could he possibly go Off Topic? He created the blessed topic.

He created a topic on CES, and went speaking about firmware update...

Sorry, Eowyn, you sounded like a three year old. "He did it first!" Just stick with the topic at hand and leave Nate alone. If and when he can tell us something, he will.

And fourthed. I am interested in CES, just so I want to be able to find a device as close to perfect for me as can get. Note I said 'as close to' and 'for me' with that perfect. No one device is perfect for everyone. So those who want to take that topic and run can just put it back down and back away.

Only after he stop lurking and answers.
When you know something supposed to be secret, don't go telling about it in public, or don't be surprised when people ask questions.

So Nate, what have you done that allows you to have info we don't ?

Please, Eowyn, let it be. You always were the voice of reason when people started arguing, so please don´t do it yourself now.

Let´s just wait and see if Nate has something to say about it when he is no longer obliged to keep silent.

At that point, we probably woudn't care anymore. I don't care about why the firmware was delayed actually. But "bwa bwa i know something", take that as an invitation to ask "what do you know".

Fully agreed and legit.
But we should accept "I'm not allowed to say. " as we won´t get an answer to it.

This is not the time of the year for quarrel.
