HardwareLogic starts the new year with coverage from Las Vegas, Nevada, where CES 2009 is being held. For those unfamiliar with this event, the International CES event is produced by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) to promote growth in the consumer technology industry. The CEA consists of more than 2,200 corporations involved in the design, development, manufacturing, distribution, and integration of consumer electronics. The show runs from Thursday, January 8 to Sunday, January 11, 2009 at the Las Vegas Convention Center and has been going strong since June 1967, when the first CES took place in New York City.
