As tech players big and small gear up for the annual International Consumers Electronic Show in Las Vegas, they all hope that what happens in Sin City starting Wednesday, ends up in your living room.

This week, the world’s biggest gadget extravaganza kicks off, and thousands of technology companies are expected to show off their best, brightest and (sometimes) most bizarre.

The Consumer Electronics Association, which sponsors the industry tradeshow, expects it to draw about 2,500 exhibitors and 110,000 attendees from around the world. While that attendance level is consistent with last year’s, it’s still below the 141,000-plus tally from 2007 and previous years.

The prospect of watching live, local TV shows on mobile phones and other portable devices is getting closer. Manufacturers this week are showing off gadgets that can receive a new type of digital TV transmissions.

“Mobile DTV” gadgets will be available this spring for consumers in the Washington, D.C., area to try. The devices include a cell phone made by Samsung Electronics Co. and a Dell Inc. laptop. There’s also the Tivit, a device about the size of a deck of cards that receives a TV signal, then rebroadcasts it over Wi-Fi so it can be received by an iPhone or BlackBerry.

Television makers plan to roll out 3-D sets

This is supposedly the year 3-D television becomes the hot new thing: Updated sets and disc players are coming out, and 3-D cable channels are in the works. But it’s not clear the idea will reach out and grab mainstream viewers.

Besides having to spring for expensive new TVs, people would have to put on awkward special glasses to give the picture the illusion of depth. It’s one thing to put on 3-D glasses in a theater, but “at home, you’re with other people in the living room, running to the kitchen and doing other things,” said Greg Ireland of the research firm IDC.

Unfazed, the biggest TV makers began revealing their 3-D models at the show. First up was LG Electronics Inc, which said it will introduce 47-inch and 55-inch flat-panel TVs with 3-D capabilities in May. LG plans a 3-D Blu-ray disc player sometime later.

Tim Alessi, director of product development at LG Electric USA, said 3-D models will likely cost $200 to $300 more than comparable flat-panel sets.

Either way, the future looks very bright overall for the electroncis industry.

The rising interest of customers,manufacturers and suppliers in Dubai has made it one of the hottest destinations for the export and import of electronics consumer appliances. This all happened because the rapid market saturation around the globe, especially around the western countries did not seem to be stopping.

The rapid shrinkage in European markets forced the European and American manufacturers to look for a safer ground. Dubai turned up as the leading contender in this rescue act. It provided them enough opportunity to establish firmly an already shaking business.

The rising income per-capita in UAE, thanks to its oil exports and well-devised liberal market policies, made Dubai a battle ground for the leading manufacturers of electronics consumer appliances. Firstly, the Japanese manufactures and suppliers took a complete control over the consumer appliances market in Dubai.

However, the current situation seems to be favorable for European and American manufacturers. They have filled up the shelves of Dubai malls with their products. Definitely, they have proved better in the marketing management. Their customer-luring strategies have worked.

According to a report, the current electronics consumer appliances market is well set to see a skyrocketing growth of 28-30% in this year of 2008. This unbelievable rate of growth will be more accelerated in coming years.

Since 1971, when UAE came into form, this country, especially Dubai has been the most important hub for the international buyers. Initially, the customers from countries like India, Sri Lanka, Iran, Pakistan and many African nations etc invaded this market. Most of them used to work in Dubai. They bought appliances to take them back home.

Basically, they bought audio & video systems and household appliances. The trend is still on the rise as the numbers of workers from that part of the world is increasing day by day.

Apart from these Asian consumers,the people from Europe and America too have developed craze of buying electronics consumer appliances in Dubai. Definitely, they get those stuffs cheaper by 10-20%.

The Dubai market boasts to have the best collection of consumer appliances produced by the best manufacturers in this world. Hence, the tourist from all around the globe love to hang out here not only to see the glassy skyscrapers and the glittering sea beaches but to explore the finest market, probably, in the world.
