Scott,

Thanks for the updates from yesterday. I think we are all looking forward to more.

If you get a chance can you do me a favor and check out the Pioneer booth and report if they have any new Elite DVD players coming out? Not a biggie, just if you get a chance. Have fun and thanks

i too hoped to find something about the xbox 2. early scans of news from ces lead me to this.

"No Xpectations: Geek.com says the rumors that an "Xbox2" would be unveiled at this year's CES are simply not true. No comment from the unofficial Xbox2 Weblog, the very existence of which raises all sorts of existential questions. Can you blog something that doesn't exist? If you build the blog, will the product come? —Beau Dure—Posted at 12:30 p.m. ET"

Hey Guys,

Remember to keep checking the talking head on the main page for updates.

So far I went to the XM Press Conference, where they introduced two new XM2GO Portable XM Radio Units.

I will have photos tonight when I get back to my hotel room.

XM also announced that Dr. Laura, G. Gordon Liddy and Tony Kornhizer will be coming to XM in February. No other programming news was announced.

I videotaped the press conference and will try to get it online as soon as possible. I also got a nice interview with XM president Hugh Penero, I will try to get that online tonight as well.

The DirecTV press confernce was for a new programming package which you can get if you have a KVH Mobile Satellite Dish. It is 120 channels from DirecTV and made for those who travel using one of these Roof Mounted Satellite Receiving Units.

I also swung by the Pioneer booth and checked out the new Pioneer Units with XM Nav Track Service, this new service will work in 20 areas (not specified) and will work in conjunction with the navigation system to alert you of problems ahead. The cost of the service is $13.95 a month which also includes XM Radio Service.

I am here at the Press Room with Ryan Alford from SkyReport and SkyRetailer who says HI!

I am off next to the 4pm SIRIUS Press Conference. I will be updating the "talking head" on the front page sometime around 4:30PM Pacific time with any news from that conference.

Again photos will be posted later tonight, and VIDEO will be coming over the weekend.

And that's your 2005 CES Report for now.

Thanks Scott......

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I should note that the actual show floor is still closed (Most booths are not setup yet) we will see tommorow what goodies the show floor holds for us.

I also forgot to mention that I saw a demonstation of Pioneers Blue Ray DVD Player, I also viewed DIVX's HD DVD player, and to both of them I say WOW.

I am collecting a lot of data, and since I am operating here as a one man show it will take a while to go through everything I have taken.

 

[ramcm7]

D'Oh!

I think it's tomorrow.

Sorry. My bad.

 

[korsjs]

XM also announced that Dr. Laura, G. Gordon Liddy and Tony Kornhizer will be coming to XM in February. No other programming news was announced.
