The Last Microsoft Keynote at CES

The upcoming CES event is sadly going to be the last CES conference that will feature a Microsoft keynote. Microsoft has reported that it will be more of a wrap up of the year rather than a full keynote. Even though the 32 inch Intel core i7 32" Exo desk made by Viewsonic is having debut there. Also their is a section for newbie companies to showcase their finest equipment. Maybe Fusion Garage will bring the Grid10 and Grid4 phone. Also the small possibility that the Windows store will be showcased their still stands along with a video bloggers dream. I suggest checking out phone dog, Engadget, Goodereader, Minipcpro, and Netbook news because I know they are sending out someone to check out the latest equipment. The death of CES will be disappointing to many who wanted to make the pilgrimage to this almost holy site in the world of tech. We can be sure Android will be wanting to puff out their chest with ICS (Ice Cream Sandwhich) the latest update to the now popular mobile phone OS. Microsoft will also try to save the Windows Phone project. Being in the small portion due to Apple and Android downing it greatly. Everyone I talk to always says they think about getting one but will not because they heard bad news even though the average rating on amazon.com is 4.5 stars. Anyway the death of an old giant Symbian has occurred with the last phone the Nokia N9. So in my last words to Microsoft keynotes is farewell!!

Exo PC 2.0

We have all seen the effects of Windows 8 will have on the world when in the first 24 hours it received 500,000 downloads. Now it is the people at Exo PC's turn to show off their latest UI upgrade. The Exo 2.0 update includes many new features and a major overhaul of the entire bubble like UI we have come to love. First some minor things like volume controls, wifi and bluetooth settings, screen brightness, and a more modern feel created by The Skin Factory. The big changes are the inclusion of some brand new paid apps, some mainstream apps like evernote and angry birds have found their way into the brand new UI. Also the new look has some old features like the ever present bubbles, but also includes a beautiful flow and eco system. This will become to me the standard UI for all in ones, laptop convertibles, and slates. I can't wait to see it and test it out!!.
