Vegas!

So Jeff and I are heading to Vegas to cover the Consumer Electronics Show. CES is the tech industry's Academy Awards. Everyone who's someone (and even those who aren't) convene at the Hilton Convention Center for this massive tech orgy that lasts for 4 days. Manufacturers use the show as a platform to showcase their new tech for the coming year. There are even special "Best of CES" and "CES Innovations" awards to be won. (Past award winners include the Dell XPS, iRobot Looj, and Logitech Harmony One, to name a few.)

While every gadget blog on the planet is covering the show — we're heading out there with a different mission. We're going to bring you the tech that offers the best value for your money. Sure, we'll show you some of the cool OLED TVs and try to get up close with Sony's insanely-priced netbook — the $900 VAIO P — but we'll also keep an eye out for the best values like Vizio's sub $200 Blu-ray player, Netgear's Internet TV Player (which supports videos from BitTorent), and of course the latest on Asus' Tablet Eee PCs.

So hit that refresh button often and drop us a line if there's anything you want us to check out.
