Dieter Bohn CES is coming

Get ready.

CES kicks off next week, which means we're going to have a rush of gadget news starting... pretty much right this minute and running through all of next week.

As always, The Verge team will be on the ground to cover the latest in dazzling (and dumb) TV tech, brilliant and bewildering smart home gadgets, and all the other spectacular and strange devices companies come to show off.

See you next week.
