It is the greatest gadgets and geek fest on the planet. At this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, more than 140,000 people will either gawk at or try to hawk the latest and greatest ideas in electronics gear. This year, the focus isn't just on blinking, beeping gadgets; it's about how to best deliver digital content to you, whether you're at home, work or on the road.

What happens this week in Vegas isn't supposed to end in Vegas: CES is the world's peek into our collective technofuture. If that isn't enough, CES will be closely followed by Macworld, where the industry's ruling prince, Steve Jobs, will unveil the innovations his teams have been brewing.

It's a week of invention and surprise. Check back often to see what we discover.
