Leading international companies from the Consumer Electronics and home appliances industries are back in numbers.

3D with and without glasses, web meets television, apps and tablets - the new Consumer Electronics Trends.
3D is already an established feature of today’s televisions. This new technology now looks set to occupy a firm place in the mid and lower price ranges and this is the target for 2011. Toshiba for example presented at the IFA the first 3D TV which doens�t require special glasses.
And TV is getting smarter - the world of social networks from Twitter to Facebook, up to the minute news, sports results, mediatheques, video clips from Youtube pages or communication via Skype: all of this content from the internet can be seen on the same screen.
Another trend in Consumer Electronics: Tablet PCs. Taking the iPad as a prototype, within just a few months an entire new category of devices has been created. Like their smaller equivalent, the smartphones, the flat computers are setting new standards in their range of applications.
