Game Developer's Conference: Day 2


Panasonic 3DTV

The bad thing about events in Northern California is that there are always a number of them going on in the tech industry and usually they have a knack to overlap.

Take today.

Yes GDC is still on but then down in San Jose is a two-day OTTCon (over the top conference) taking place. No biggie you say but these are the guys/gals who are going give us a hint on what we'll be watching, where we'll be watching it, how we'll be watching it.

Affects the way you work with games too!

OTTCon Snapshot

These folks have a huge challenge ahead of them. They're busting each other's chops trying to figure out exactly what tomorrow's TV entertainment is going to be like especially since people seem to want to push it to every screen you have (and even will be thinking about).

That's not so bad but they're really trying to figure out how they're going to get their money out of it! And how does it fit into/compete in the YouTube online spectrum? It does!

They were an energetic crowd but the first thing you realize is that they don't have any better idea where TV is going than you do…but they say it with confidence/conviction so it "feels" so!Read more

CES 2011 Predictions


CES logo

CES 2011 officially opens on Thursday, January 6th and Retrevo is already getting a sense of what products and categories are going to stand out from the crowd. They still believe that 2011 will be the year of the tablet and expect to see lots of them in Las Vegas. They have provided us with the following predictions for 2011 CES:

Android Tablets Will Be Everywhere

Google may have been caught off guard in 2010 as far as a tablet-friendly version of Android but with new versions including Gingerbread and Honeycomb about ready to ship we expect to see Android-based tablets make up for lost ground this year. We expect to see large crowds gathering around a Honeycomb-based tablet at the Motorola booth. Android tablets will most likely be featured in booths from vendors like LG, Toshiba, Samsung, Acer, Asus, MSI, Dell, Lenovo, and many others while we expect to see Windows Phone 7 (or some other Microsoft mobile OS) running on tablets in the Microsoft booth. HP and Palm have managed to keep the wraps on their "PalmPad," tablet but we could see a WebOS tablet make an appearance at the show as well. Intel will surely have something to promote in the tablet "engine" department along with Nvidia who will be bragging about Tegra 2's graphic processing power for tablets. Read more
