CES 2006 was bigger than ever with events and vendors at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Alexis Park, the Las Vegas Hilton, and the Sands Expo and Convention Center. All you can do is hope to see everything you wanted to. The press parties help and the best are Pat Meir’s Lunch @ Piero’s and ShowStoppers. The following is information I gathered from the companies at the booths, or from the press kits. Hard Drives, CD/DVD and camera media - or related matter. Prices stated are subject to change and rounded up (I hate the .99 marketing.)

For an easy way to add shared storage to your home network
they are marketing a Network Attached Storage (NAS). Simple to set up, simple
to use, this device allows you to share music, pictures and other files. In the
past, shared files were loaded on a computer. To access those files, that
computer needed to be on. Now with the NAS, your files are in a central
location so you always have access. You don’t need any other computer to be on.
It can be set up to share all, or some of its capacity with certain computers
on your network. Its not OS dependent, non-Windows computers can also access
the NAS. Its also easy to expand if you need more space; simply connect a
second USB hard drive to it, and the NAS does the rest. Included is an
integrated FTP (file transfer protocol) server, so you can access the device
from any computer with Internet access. MSRPs for the Ethernet attached storage
products are $150 for no hard drive, $265 for 160GB and $330 for 250GB. MSRPs
for Actiontec wireless network storage
products are $185 for no hard drive, $299 for 160GB and $360 for 250GB. Auto
Backup ability is included. Features:
