At a press conference today, XM Satellite Radio began a 72-hour countdown planned to culminate with the launch of the company's first satellite. Digital audio also comes into play with many exhibitors. One of these, ZapMedia, promises a world of unlimited digital entertainment through its digital music portal service. Picture the equivalent of cable's DMX services with on-demand content, without the cable. It's all about consumer convenience.
Convenience is the buzzword when it comes to integrating technology into the home as well.
The press will gather Saturday evening for a program billed as the DigitalHome Experience. This CES-sponsored event plans to showcase the latest and greatest in home technology. We all know that digital and high-definition televisions have been threatening to breach our living rooms for a while now. CES will feature plenty of hardware that features those technologies. Looking further into the future, there'll be a special set of sessions labeled Digital Hollywood.
