interesting to see a TV remote with an “internet” button on it. still early days, as can be seen by the strange way some of the content is organised. Yahoo have stolen the early march into this space with their widgets. there are a few more pictures here

For me, it’s an opportunity to get a first hand look at some of the new connected audio and video devices coming to market, for the home, on the move and even in car, and to ask some of those questions not addressed in the hyped up press releases…

I’ll also be meeting a wide range of the companies in the connected audio device market along with other international broadcasters at the inaugural meeting of the Internet Media Device Alliance (www.IMDAalliance.org). I don’t have too much time to attend the conference sessions, apart from the one I am speaking on of course , where I’ll be talking about the role of video for radio.

I’ll be twittering from the event, so follow @fatcontroller from twitter.com or check out the pics on www.flickr.com/photos/ousby/ if you’re interested in a radio angle on what’s at CES this year. For a wider view, follow @ces09 on www.twitter.com which pools anyone’s tweets with the #ces09 tag in it.

If you want to see the bun fight over who can get their news posted first on new product releases, then a few of the best places are:
