"For the tenth year in a row, Microsoft Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates returns to kick off CES with his vision of the year ahead in consumer electronics. Bill will deliver the opening keynote on Wednesday, January 4 at 6:30 P.M. Pacific in the Las Vegas Hilton Theater. In his keynote, Gates will share Microsoft’s vision for the future of consumer technology, highlighting the important role of software in developing and delivering innovation that benefits the industry, our partners, and people everywhere. If the past is any indication, expect the unexpected. Bill has used his keynote address at CES in the past to unveil new products ranging from Xbox and Tablet PC to Smartphones. And with Microsoft’s strong lineup of innovative new products scheduled to launch in 2006, including Windows Vista, this year’s keynote will provide a glimpse at the important new technologies that will be shaping the industry."

If you're not lucky enough to attend CES, or even if you are but can't make it into the keynote, you can still watch Bill's keynote live via webcast. It's scheduled to begin on January 4th at 6:30 P.M. PST. If you plan on watching, I recommend using the 100Kbps stream. Based on past experience, I've found this feed is just more stable, even if you have a super-duper ultra fast connection. You can download a calendar appointment here (thanks to Ed at Pocket PC Thoughts ).

Watching it right now. Actually listening to it. 36Kbps.

[Mike Temporale]

I'm watching it too. :mrgreen: I hope I can keep the drool off the keyboard, not like last year.

[Kris Kumar]

I think I saw the i-mate SP5m in Bill's hands.

[Mike Temporale]

Cool, that's my phone he's holding! Well, it's not my phone, but it's the same phone!

[Kris Kumar]

Wow! I love the airport table he is demoing. :drool:

Small Smartphone converts into Big screen. Just what the doctor ordered.

[Mike Temporale]

I want one! Especially the scanning it was doing. Very cool...

[Mike Temporale]

Oh cool... The xBox360 controller can plug directly into Vista.

[Kris Kumar]

Looks like Vista will have image editing tools similar to Google Picasa.

Another good place to track coverage.
