In just a few hours, the Consumer Electronics Show will begin in Las Vegas. I’m not there. I’m not sure I’m sorry. I have received scores of press releases from the companies exhibiting, and I’ll be sharing the virtual news this week, as well as passing along impressions from colleages who are trekking the miles of aisles at the Sands Expo and LVCC.

If you want to read the day-to-day stuff, you should check out Popular Mechanics’ coverage of the show for the consumer’s point of view, and InformationWeek’s take from the business perspective. Both should be fun.

If CES weren’t enough excitement on its own, this year we get MacWorld in San Francisco at the same time. Will Steve Jobs announce the iPod phone in his keynote, or is there something else waiting to come out of the Moscone Center? We’ll find out in the next 24 hours…
