Like Cinderella's magnificent chariot turning back into a pumpkin at the stroke of midnight, the wondrous luster of CES quickly transformed into a big, rotten vegetable as we entered Day Two. Maybe it was the fact that the whole Switched crew came down with violent food poisoning (we're looking at you, CES-provided media luncheon), or maybe it was the fact that, despite its metastasizing breadth, ...

The CESpool of Sin City may have gotten to us. Or maybe the rest of the world is taking crazy pills. Maybe it's the sleep deprivation, the sludgy coffee or the fact that our editor in chief literally asked aloud, "Is this lettuce or chicken?" The dry air is getting to our heads. And everyone else's, too, because it is clear that the world inside of Vegas has completely lost it. We are surrounded ... Read more »

Your fancy iPod case, your Palm Pre, even your fantastic GPS-enabled directional unit: it all originated here. This is the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where every tech company worth its salt comes to show off its wares, and where tech writers, for the most part, question the validity of their jobs. In the past, we at Switched have been pretty right on: we still think 3-D TV is a ... Read more »

What Samsung got right is exciting: thin, beautifully designed bodies and bright, vibrant screens. The new Notebook 9 Series weighs in at under three pounds and is a half-inch deep, and the CES audience gasped when Tim Baxter, president of Samsung America, removed the black frame from around his "smart TVs", the D8000 and D7000. The Galaxy player, ... Read more »
AT&T kicked off its CES announcements today with a bevy of Android devices and a promise of 20 new 4G phones for 2011. The three lead phones -- the Atrix, Inspire and Infuse -- are all HSPA+ devices, so you'll have to wait until the second half of the year to get the faster, next-generation LTE phones. There's no Gingerbread or stock Android in sight; every new Android device on AT&T will ... Read more »
Every January, the world pauses and becomes tech-centric. CES is the home of 3-D TVs, all-encompassing tablets, gadgets and gizmos that make our life easier and more modern! But, in reality, it's the same people shilling the same thing, every year. Oh, LaCie is still excited about its Rugged hard drive that debuted in 2006? USB 2.0 -- you don't say! And of course, the industry's brief ... Read more »

2010 has been a pretty packed year for tech. Streaming video came into its own with radically improved content choices and affordable living room hardware devices, Android and Apple's iOS dominated the cell phone market, the mobile app markets show no sign of slowing down and the iPad revealed a huge demand for tablets. We here at Switched have taken a look back over the past 12 months and each ... Read more »
You may be on the road less traveled, but, if you are part of the Android movement, you are ahead of the smartphone curve. The platform's many benefits are offset, though, by real setbacks -- like the fact that Android owners aren't shepherded by the Draconian App Store monitored by the Big Brothers at Apple. We are freer, but we are also subjected to a load of crap, like cross-platform ... Read more »
