CES 2011: Two Consumer Reports webcasts, live from the show

Most of the Consumer Reports electronics team is now in Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronics Show. Though the show starts tomorrow, we've already seen an avalanche of announcements, including:

• Toshiba's glasses-free 3D TV;
• Four brand-new tablet computers from Asus;
• Fujifilm point-and-shoots featuring GPS and RAW capabilities;
• Vizio's first-ever cell phone and tablet;
• A new 4G phone from Sprint;
• Netflix access from new remote controls;
• And much, much more.

And while we're at CES, we're planning two live webcasts from the show. The first, on Friday, January 7, is a roundtable with our electronics editors and testers: It's your opportunity to ask questions about all the products debuting at the show, via Facebook and Twitter (via @Creporter). It will be moderated by Paul Reynolds, Consumer Reports' Electronics Editor, and will begin at 9:30 am Pacific time, 12:30 pm Eastern. Don't miss it!

Then on Saturday, we'll webcast a seminar called "Consumer Reports 101" starting at 10:30 am Pacific, 1:30 pm Eastern. This session will offer a primer on the electronics program at Consumer Reports. Paul Reynolds, along with Evon Beckford, Senior Director of Electronics Operations in the Technical Division at Consumers Union (CU), will give a short presentation on how the organization selects, evaluates, and writes about CE products. A Q&A will follow.

Join us for both of these live webcasts from CES 2011 at our Facebook page—and hey, why not Like us, while you're there!
