Forget about New Year's resolutions and recalling old acquaintances, if it's January it's time for the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where new products and technologies are launched and set the stage for tech innovation.

Roughly 156,000 people were expected to attend the event, which featured more than 3,250 exhibitors and an estimated 20,000 new product launches and first showings. Trends this year included super-high definition 4K televisions, a slew of new Windows 8 compatible devices, next-generation tablets and smartphones, and a range of 'smart' devices that are cloud-aware and ready for consumer or business applications.

One of the pervasive themes at this year's event was consumerization and the bring your own device (BYOD) movement in business, only this time supported by new devices that are highly compatible with existing corporate applications and incredibly light and durable. The focus was also on large screen sizes in smartphones, flexible and bendable screen designs, and toughened notebooks, tablets and phones that can take a beating while keeping you competitive and productive.

Some of the big guns weren't officially there this year, but a lot of the second-tier companies kept innovation pumping with new communications, security and user interface technologies. After all, this is CES where the technology tome is set for the rest of the year.
