CES and a load of new gadgets comming

Unfortunatly, I'm not at CES even though I would really like to :) Perhaps some day. Anyway, I stumpled across a few interesting gadgets, that I look forward to seing more information on. One of these, is the e-Ink device that i've been waiting for for a while now. Unfortunatly it's from Sony, which means the is uses a proprietary format, besides allowing the user to view PDF files. I'm guessing that when other makers get on the market, they will use some form of standard format, and Sony will not agree to the same format for about 10 years...we've seen it before :) I'm not sure I'll buy the first one out ($300 is still a bit of money for something that can't show other types of e-books than Sony's own) The other thing I'm looking forward to hearing more about is Google Video Store. So far no pricing has been mentioned, and I guess that it's only the US that can benefit from it, but it still sounds interesting. I've seen quite a few episodes of CSI, and I have a feeling that if I might be able to get the newst episode (about a year or so before it might be aired here in Denmark) for around $3, I would most likely sign up and use it. But it all depends on price, ease of use and naturally if I'm allowed access or not :) It could probably end up as it has with iTunes Music Store which opened in Denmark lightyears behind the rest of europe, just because some greedy people controlling most artists like puppets wouldn't play with the others in the play ground. And when it finally arrived, the available music isn't really that interesting. It seems the sony reader is heading the same way, with their problems with the publishers - which is why it make so much less sence not to support other types of formats, so the users can read books from sources like Project Gutenberg. Most of the other stuff seems to be about HDTV, which for me isn't relevant for et least a year or so. I have no room (or money) for a huge flat screen tv, and since noone I know of in Denmark is going to be delivering HDTV any time soon, all I would be able to watch would be normal TV stretched into an even worse quality than now. If we manage to get to Canada at som e point though, HDTV is much more interesting since there are actually providers (provider?) over there...
