The 2006 edition of the Consumer Electronics Show is going on in Las Vegas. Coolfer has been visiting CES sections at Engadget, Gizmodo and paidContent.

paidContent has some notes from CES. At a press conference for its URGE music service, MTV Networks Music Group President Van Toffler said user input will be an integral part of the experience. "They will tell us what sucks and what they think about the service," he said. Also, Justin Timberlake will work with URGE for the release of his next album.

Engadget's liveblog of Bill Gates' keynote address (during which he was joined by Toffler) has more details and photos from nosebleed seats. Quoting Toffler: "URGE will offer a customized relationship to music, a sense of musical discovery ... over 100 radio stations .. a chance to learn about the roots of songs and lyrics ... a chance to interact with the artists."
