TKC Extra – CES 1

We are about to head over to the Las Vegas Convention Center to check out the eBook TechZone at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

This episode contains audio clips from last night’s opening keynote speech by Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft. They let the blogger/press contingent in first, so we found ourselves in front row seats, which was great except that it meant it would not have been easy to slip out early, which we were tempted to do. The photo was taken by Elias Tsang, who sat to my right. He blogs at Rotpod.

The Microsoft presentation included comments about the new Blio eReader software and a couple of mentions of the Kindle.

Today I hope to get my hands on a Plastic Logic Que, an Alex, and maybe an eDGe. Stay tuned!
