CNET.com to Present the ``Next Big Thing'' Awards at the 2005 Consumer Electronics Show
For consumers who keep an eye on the hottest electronics that are most likely to enter their lives in the near future, CNET (www.cnet.com) today announced its extensive editorial coverage plans for the 2005 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), including its annual "Next Big Thing" Awards and Super Session honoring the most promising new products and technologies unveiled at the show.
CNET, the unbiased resource for people interested in enhancing their lives with personal technology and a property of CNET Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: CNET), has sent more than 30 editors to canvas the show floor, which is open tomorrow through Saturday at the Las Vegas Convention Center. CNET's expert editorial team will preview more than 100 products a day, writing reviews and producing video clips of the hottest products at the show. All of CNET's CES content - including pre-show coverage, product reviews, and Webcasts of CNET's major events (see schedule below) - can be found at http://ces.cnet.com.
"This exhaustive coverage is meant to capture the color and excitement of CES so people feel like they're at the show with us," said Patrick Houston, CNET's editor-in-chief.
On Thursday, January 6 at 4:00 p.m. PT, editor-at-large Brian Cooley will host The Next Big Thing Super Session (Room N257), a special event highlighting the trends, people, and companies that promise to dazzle consumers and the industry in 2005. At the conclusion of the event, finalists in each of the 12 categories for The Next Big Thing Awards will be announced. Winners, plus one Best of Show winner, will be announced Friday, January 7 at 4:00 p.m. PT by Editor-in-chief Patrick Houston at the CNET Booth (#71351).
"Convergence has seen to it that digital smarts keep coming to more devices, and these devices are emerging into the market at a faster pace than ever," added Houston. "The thrust of our CES coverage and Next Big Thing Awards is to find, filter, and assess the most promising new products that will wind up in people's homes, offices, pockets, and cars, so buyers can make smart decisions next year."
The Next Big Thing finalists are chosen from hundreds of submissions and judged on criteria including: their promise to delight customers with their usefulness, design, and/or capacity to entertain; their ability to endow the owner with a certain cachet; breaking new ground in ease of use; working easily and readily with other products; pioneering a new category; setting a new standard for excellence in an existing category or innovation; selling in substantial numbers; and capturing the "wow" factor.
