Pete Cashmore, founder and CEO of Mashable, wrote a good CES trends story last month on CNN.com and you can read it here. TechnoDad's take on this year is that it will indeed be the 'year of the tablet,' as more and more consumers move away from their desktops and even their laptops. Tablets and smart phones are the future of computing, evidenced by Pete's reference to voice control (Siri on the iPhone 4S for example) possibly taking off this year.
Of course the big unknown is what Apple might do within the TV realm beyond their present minor presence with the Apple TV. We'll have to wait a while for that. And of course, I'll be reporting on what we see at CES in a few weeks. Here's to a technology-rich 2012!
