Tizen, quantum dots and 8 things we can expect at CES 2015

Another year, another slew of conferences and exhibitions taking centre stage in the first quarter of 2015, and kicking off the year in true flash Vegas style is CES.

The International Consumer Electronics Show takes place this year between 6 and 9 January, and we’re already planning for some massive announcements from some of the biggest names in the tech sphere.

Last year (2013) we saw some massive announcements from the likes of Sony and Panasonic’s 4K OLED launch, Bill Clinton coming out with support for Samsung (of all companies) and who can forget Nvidia’s debut of its “Project Shield” gaming tablet.

This year was a big of a downer really. LG unveiled its range of curved TVs, while Michael Bay made a right fool of himself at Samsung’s now customary celebrity keynote. We also saw the debut of Nvidia’s Tegra mobile processor and details emerged of Sony PlayStation’s latest streaming device.

In 2015, it seems that televisions, the Internet of Things and new energy efficient chips will be the highlights of this years event, while there’s expectations of a few flagship smartphone launches from the likes of Xiaomi and (possibly) Sony.
