CES 2008: PocketGPSWorld.com hits Las Vegas

[MikeB]

Its New Year 2008 and that means that we are off to Sin City for the annual Trade Fair season opener of CES. Every January everybody in the Technology World descends on the Las Vegas Convention Center and a lot of the surrounding hotels as well to witness one of the largest shows of new consumer electronics in the World.

We have been going for the past few years, and have watched the growth of GPS and related products in the US market. This year seems to be bigger than ever again, reflecting the fact that the North American GPS market is booming and is starting to catch up with the Europeans.

There seem to be quite a lot of new players entering the market from Goodyear to Harman/Becker, and the range of products is looking promising too. The trend of 2007 with geo-tagging of digital photos seems to be growing with at least 4 new companies entering the market. Of course the SatNav market will be represented by some of the big names including TomTom, Garmin, NavNGo, not forgetting the mapping companies Navteq and Teleatlas.

Right now I am starting to pack in anticipation of getting my hands on some neat goodies... The show starts on Monday with a preview Sunday evening, so keep tuned to this page and see what is going on in Las Vegas.
