CES 2009: "Connected Electronics Show"

With apologies to Elizabeth Barrett Browning, the theme of the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) was "How do I connect to thee? Let me count the ways." Whether it was TVs, mobile phones, blood pressure meters or untethered monitors, connected devices ruled the day.

This issue covers the four areas we found most interesting among the many things that connect:

• TV Sets Riding "The Internet Avalanche"
• Networking Technologies to "Connect My Stuff"
• Connecting for Health
• Feng Shui and EcoTechnology

This year's visit to CES left us wondering if the show initials now stand for "Connected Electronics Show".
