Happy New Year! Hopefully you all had a joyous and relaxing holiday season. Just as we are at CNET Downloads, I’m sure you are all back into the all-consuming work and task at hand. For our team, we did not have a minute to rest from the holidays as we all jetted off to Las Vegas for CES 2011 and Affiliate Summit West. I got to see many of you at CES and Catherine saw many more at Affiliate Summit West. We had great meetings and as always, listened and learned, taking many action items back with us to San Francisco. Read on below for a CES recap from one of our Download.com editors, Jasmine France. Catherine also shares with us her experience at Affiliate Summit West.

CES 2011 software and apps wrap-up
LAS VEGAS–Although hardware took the spotlight at CES 2011, there was plenty to see on the software and service side as well, particularly in conjunction with said hardware. For one, the vast majority of the latest and greatest TVs at the show were Internet-capable devices with some type of app integration.
Another hot topic from the show: Honeycomb, the upcoming Android OS designed specifically for tablets. The OS features refined multitasking, richer and more interactive widgets, and a 3D user experience with unique home screen customization options.
Several online services made appearances as well, particularly those that focus on multimedia. Unifi from RealNetworks took home our Best of CES category award in software and apps for its innovative approach to collecting all your media from across various services and devices and presenting it in a simple, unified interface.
