CES 2012 highlights
The world's greatest tech show - CES 2012 - kicked off on Monday 9 January (if you're a show obsessive, note that's a week later than usual).
Running until Thursday, the show will see the entire tech world descend on Las Vegas. We'll be hearing from the biggest names in tech to talk about their plans for 2012. The show covers more than 1.8 million square feet and has more than 140,000 attendees from across trhe globe.
As for every CES, TechRadar will be there getting hands on with the hardware that matters and bringing you the latest breaking news from the show. We have a dedicated CES 2012 channel where you can keep up with all the news.
This year the show will be 'greener' than ever; attendee badge holders are made from repurposed vinyl show banners from last year, and they'll be recycled again after the show. New signs have been made using a reusable, recyclable paper honeycomb material. A whopping 289.6 tons of waste was recycled from last year's event.
