The Consumer Electronics Show starts on Monday the 8th of January, in Las Vagas, and runs for 4 days. The show will be opened on Sunday by Bill Gates, who will be giving a speech on Microsoft's role in the connected world.

Apple fan boys will have to wait until Tuesday to hear their leader, Steve Jobs, speak. This could be handy for him, he'll have plenty of time to review his talk after hearing what his opponent Gates has said! Let's hope they don't focus on MP3 players - they're about as new and exciting as toasters these days.

There will be a large rake of new toys and gadgets on display at CES, some of which we have already mentioned here during the last few days.  High definition TVs are likely to dominate the stands in 2007.
