January starts off 2010 with much excitement and anticipation. January 7th is the start of the Computer Electronics Show (CES). This is where vendors like Nikon will present their CoolPix S1000pj. January 26th Apple will be making a significant product announcement. It has been greatly speculated that Jobs will be announcing the long anticipated iSlate. Lastly, it has just been reported by ComputerWorld that on January 5th, Google will be holding an Android, invitation-only, event. The event will consist of a press conference, presentations and question and answer sessions.
Some in the industry are speculating if Schmidt is purposely holding the Google conference right before CES. This is a similar move to what Jobs did in 2007 – when he announced the iPhone right before CES. In essence, the iPhone became all the talk at CES 2007. I think that Schmidt is a smart man. This very well calculated move worked for Jobs and Schmidt is hoping it will do the same for the Nexus One.
It is still uncertian what Google will be presenting on January 5th. The speculation runs their entire portfolio – from the Nexus One to the Android Market Place to the Google Chrome OS netbook. Whatever, happens on the 5th one thing is certain - it will be all the talk at CES 2010.
