Parrot, a leader in wireless peripherals around the mobile phone, is demonstrating two new cutting-edge consumer elec-tronics technologies at the Consumer Electronics Show. They include a digital photo frame that accepts photos transferred from cell phones via MMS, as well as a line of products with easy-pairing Near Field Communications (NFC) technology that eliminates the manual pairing process typically required for Bluetooth and other wireless devices.

The Consumer Electronics Show, better known as CES, has been held annually for over 40 years now. The first CES took place in New York City in 1967 featuring 200 exhibitors and 17,500 visitors. Since that time, the total show has increased by a factor 10. This year's CES show will again take place in Las Vegas, as usual, where visitors are welcomed from January 7 to January 10. The CES event appears to become more important every year. It is the first major world event where more than 2,200 CEA (Consumer Electronics Association) members are able to display their involvement in relation to development, manufacturing, distribution and integration of consumer electronic products such as audio, photo, video, mobile communication, and accessories. The CES 2010 starts off a brand-new year, offering a peek of what we can expect in the upcoming season regarding new products and services.
