Thanks to Intel’s ‘Insider’ program I’ve been invited to attend CES 2010 which is a dream come true. Although I won’t be able to track and report the important news as I usually do from my office, I'll be getting the huge honor of getting first-looks at some amazing devices. I’ve had a few tips and hints coming my way from various people and I can assure you that it’s going to be a great week of news, information, videos and images. Related posts:
