Consumer Electronics Show 2002 Report

An anonymous reader writes "I've noticed that Target PC posted their report on this year's Consumer Eletronics Show in Las Vegas. Looks like 2002 will be the year of wireless networking and recordable DVD. In the same article they cover Samsung's upcoming portable computer based on the StrongARM 206MHz processor that will be available in 2Q." Many wireless products (including 802.11a), huge LCD displays, and more -- I hope people who were at the show can comment on the things missed in this report, or in The Washington Posts's report.

PC at the forefront...

The PC had both solutions before Apple adopted them. As far as DVD recording is concerned, the DVD recorder included in the powermacs and the new imacs is mickey mouse at best.

Better bandwidth than 802.11a? Bullshit. Both 802.11a, and 802.11g offer 54mbit/sec. Plus, 802.11g runs on the 2.4 gigahertz band, which means things like cordless phones, and even microwave ovens will kill your bandwidth, which is a limitation 802.11a doesn't have. So I guess, you could say that apple is going with a lower quality solution for compatibility's sake. Isn't that what apple lovers claim PCs do?

Still, you have neglected to answer my question about the availability of high end video cards on lower priced macs. When are you going to be able to upgrade your iMac to a GF3?
