A great show for you this week, as Jason catches up with Ian Dixon, fresh back from CES 2011. Ian and Jason cover a lot of the mobile tech Ian saw in Vegas, much of which could be big news over the coming months. They look at the coverage for Windows Phone 7 along with how Apple managed to play a big part without even being there. There’s tablet talk aplenty, with expectations for the iPad 2 and news of it’s competitors. Plus news from nVidia and an insight into travelling with the Kindle.

Also, don’t forget to contact the show with any news, views, comments or questions – all the details you’ll need are below!

Welcome to the second and final batch of CES interviews. As mentioned last week Windows Embedded team had a private room showing a great range of Media Center systems powered by Windows Embedded, including set top boxes, TVs and entertainment systems and I have an interview with Mark Pendegrast from the Embedded team talking about Media Center. Mark explains what the embedded team are doing with Windows Media Center and what kind of systems we expect to see. They are doing some great work with Media Center and Embedded and Mark talks about embedded set top boxes, TVs and entertainment devices all powered by Windows Media Center

I also have some great other interviews, Ford talk about Ford Sync and applink and how you can get apps running in the car with iPhone or Android. Charlie Mertz from Evolve Media talks about their embedded Windows Media Center systems. Dolby's Kevin Brennan talks about their PC software and how they are working with OEMS to enhance the sound coming from laptops. Then we have Michael Martis from the BYOB podcast, Garry and Andrew recorded at a bloggers party and an interview Garry conducted with Morgan eBook readers and tablets

I also want to thank DVBLogic for making TDLs coverage of CES possible, Garry was using DVBLink to watch live UK on his iPad from the press room at CES and its great stuff

Welcome to the first show of 2011, back from CES where we saw a lot of tech, some of it good and some of it very strange! This week on the show I have the first batch of CES 2011 interviews. At CES I was a little disappointed that Microsoft’s booth didn’t feature Windows Media Center as it had in the last few years but they did have a press room with lots of Windows Media Center systems powered by Windows Embedded which looked great and I have an interview with Mark Pendergrast from the Windows Embedded team but you will have to wait till next week for that.
