Getting ready for CES

I've arrived in Las Vegas ahead of the Consumer Electronics Show, one of the most high-profile tech fairs in the world - and the event that kicks off the new year for many tech-heads.

It's a packed event at CES this year - bigger than ever before, and featuring a world of gadgets and gizmos of all shapes and sizes. Starting tomorrow with Microsoft big cheese Bill Gates, there are speeches from the industry's biggest wigs - the likes of Sony boss Howard Stringer, Intel head honcho Paul Otellini, Yahoo's Terry Semel and Google co-founder Larry Page.

Of course, Page's talk will be closely watched since the rumour of a Google PC surfaced, but that's far from everything that's happening here: the show floor is immense (I've seen the figure of 28 football pitches bandied about) and full of interesting nooks and crannies.

We'll be bringing you updates on the highs, lows and inbetween-bits.
