Sure it may be cold and dark outside here in Canada, but the sun is shining on Las Vegas as gadget lovers around the world gather starting today for the world’s largest consumer technology trade show: CES 2011.

This year our Connected Rogers Magazine team will be on the show’s floor hunting for the latest gadgets, accessories and tech trends for the year ahead. The magazine’s coverage will include regular blog posts with pics and videos of all the action. You can find it on their website here. They’re also sending regular tweets via their @connectedmag Twitter account.

Just how big is CES? According to reports, 140,000 people will attend the show that comprises roughly 1.8-million square feet of exhibit space. There will be 2,900 companies showcasing the latest gear, software and technology.

In addition to Rogers products and services, Connected Rogers Magazine also covers non-Rogers technology, lifestyle and entertainment. And while we may not carry everything you read about from the show, attending events like CES provides us with a first glimpse at what’s hot among consumers – and what’s next.

What are you looking forward to hearing about from CES 2011? Have you ever been to the event?

Ahh, Victoria Day weekend: the unofficial start to summer. The BBQ is heating up. You’ve got a drink in one hand; your smartphone in the other.

And if you’re going to be on your smartphone, why not spend a portion of your vacation time making sure you’re getting the most out of your device by grabbing some of the hottest apps?

URmagazine, a Rogers publication that covers the latest in personal technology and gadgets, puts together a weekly roundup of the hottest app reviews, updated every Friday so you can be in the know on the latest mobile software, games and entertainment.

Pick up your 12-pack of reviews – including my faves EasyBartender and Anywhere Abs (screen shot above) – here: http://urmagazine.ca/reviews/apps.htm

Have a great long weekend.

Have you tried any of the apps in URmagazine’s reviews? What apps would you like to see reviewed in the future?
