CES 2013

The 2013 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) has invaded Las Vegas with over 3,000 exhibitors, 150,000 attendees, and 1.9 million square feet of exhibition space. The largest consumer electronics show in the world, CES 2013 brings the state-of-the-art in technology products to the center stage. The e-reading market may be in for a huge surprise, or rather a “thin” surprise. Plastic Logic, Intel, and Queen’s University’s Human Media Lab have just revealed the new PaperTab e-paper.
