World's largest electronics show features latest technologies

The world's largest technology tradeshow, organized by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), runs through Jan. 11, and celebrates the show's 40th anniversary.

Product launches and a major industry keynote by Microsoft's Bill Gates on the eve of the show electrified attendees from across the world.

The CES showcased the latest innovations and products in GPS, digital imaging, audio, home theater, robotics and more.

"The pre-CES events generated major excitement and anticipation for what's to come this week at the 2007 International CES," said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of the CEA.

CES attendees are experiencing a new convergence of consumer technology products emerging from the show floor, with new products incorporating the features, services and content that consumers crave, he said.
