Although the giant halls at Las Vegas are supposed to be individually themed, every one lists “Information Appliances” on its menu. The term is becoming as ubiquitous as “uses electricity”… and is probably about as redundant. Well… if they aren’t information appliances what are they supposed to be doing, heating the room? In which case what are they doing at Comdex? We’ll give you the full rundown of webpads later but first honours should go to the Ericsson device, which will be the first to reach the UK.
