00:00:00.042 --> 00:00:04.539
Dan Simon has been trolling this years' tech extravaganza for the biggest buzz

2
00:00:04.856 --> 00:00:08.426
and finding that much of it comes from the smallest packages.

3
00:00:09.909 --> 00:00:13.824
Kristie, the Consumer Electronics Show is the biggest gadget show in the world.

4
00:00:14.078 --> 00:00:17.158
Here companies show off what they hope will be the next big thing,

5
00:00:17.466 --> 00:00:19.975
but big doesn't necessarily mean big.

6
00:00:21.264 --> 00:00:25.368
A television as thin as a quarter, 3-D no less.

7
00:00:25.683 --> 00:00:31.010
People were looking at this LG screen -- the world's thinnest -- as if it were the Mona Lisa.

8
00:00:31.902 --> 00:00:35.677
Mitsubishi, though, is going big -- 92 inches.

9
00:00:35.896 --> 00:00:41.125
Did you ever think having a hi-definition, 3-D, 92- inch television would be possible?

10
00:00:41.741 --> 00:00:46.863
No, I did not. Technology's really advances [advanced] to the point where we can do this at a very affordable price point.

11
00:00:47.268 --> 00:00:50.971
That is if you consider just under $6,000 affordable.

12
00:00:52.367 --> 00:00:59.607
As the Consumer Electronic Show kicked off to what convention organizers believe is one of the largest CES shows ever in Las Vegas,

13
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:04.053
company executives seem convinced that consumers are ready to start buying.

14
00:01:04.348 --> 00:01:11.714
Hollywood executive Jeffrey Katzenberg of DreamWorks' fame dismissed those who say 3-D television is not going to catch on.

15
00:01:12.117 --> 00:01:16.731
If you look at the introduction of color 70 years ago, it started in the movie theaters,

16
00:01:16.958 --> 00:01:23.022
moved to television, moved to print, moved throughout the world in which today everything is in color.

17
00:01:23.451 --> 00:01:27.404
You know? And so, I think, 3-D, it's how we see.

18
00:01:27.777 --> 00:01:31.191
The 3-D universe is extending to consumer camcorders.

19
00:01:31.556 --> 00:01:35.171
This attachment turns regular video images into 3-D.

20
00:01:35.255 --> 00:01:41.000
This is a normal HD camera, but if you take this accessory, suddenly, you have a 3-D camera, right?

21
00:01:41.441 --> 00:01:47.088
Right. I mean, I think these are camcorders which are designed to work with this 3-D converter.

22
00:01:47.088 --> 00:01:48.689
This is Panasonic's approach.

23
00:01:48.689 --> 00:01:50.200
Incredibly easy to read.

24
00:01:50.351 --> 00:01:53.600
Nike is making headlines with a watch for serious runners.

25
00:01:54.038 --> 00:01:58.618
It uses GPS technology to monitor runner's locations and help map routes.

26
00:01:58.932 --> 00:02:00.884
It connects directly to your computer.

27
00:02:01.252 --> 00:02:04.125
In the wristband is built in the USB connector.

28
00:02:04.155 --> 00:02:08.322
So, as opposed to any other watch, [which] you need to have a separate cable to plug it in,

29
00:02:08.322 --> 00:02:10.427
this thing goes straight into your Mac or PC.

30
00:02:11.121 --> 00:02:14.357
But some of the most impressive products here don't even have a display.

31
00:02:14.809 --> 00:02:20.323
Take this memory chip that holds 64 gigabytes, or more than 14,000 songs,

32
00:02:20.631 --> 00:02:22.349
and it's only the size of a dime.

33
00:02:23.231 --> 00:02:29.322
As expected, though, tablets are dominating the show, with some 50 different versions taking the floor.

34
00:02:29.931 --> 00:02:33.225
Every technology company in the world is here except one -- Apple.

35
00:02:33.447 --> 00:02:37.378
It doesn't attend trade shows, but as one analyst said, they're here anyway,

36
00:02:37.661 --> 00:02:39.328
because everyone is trying to chase them.
