What to expect from CES???

The annual Consumer Electronic Show is about to kick off in Vegas and a 150,000 people are ready for it, but why this hype??? Is it for quad-core phones, for Smart 3D TVs or those unique tech stuff that one can only see at the CES???
To be frank, Android is developing faster than what consumers can cope up. There is a better phone every other week that too at the same price point. CES is usually an early pouring of all that we should expect the year round and this year the point of discussion is all about quad-core mobile devices that include phones and tablets.
In terms of Smart 3D TVs, Google TV wasn't much of a success so might expect some updated version of it or probably just proprietary software on TVs from manufacturers like Samsung, Sony and LG.
Every now then you find small companies showing off some unique tech stuff that are awesome. That can range from iPhone accessories to big giant camera equipment but these are somewhat the true beauty of the show as they are the only things that happens only in CES and no other time of the year.
So tech enthusiasts have to decide what to spend there time on in this event.

Do companies keep their phones a bit under powered than what they are capable of???

With the concept of over clocking Android devices and rooting to get better performance out of the same hardware, arises the question that does the phone company keep your device under powered just to increase the sales of the higher model for their greed and money?? I think yes, they do play with craving for 'just that little bit more specs' and trick us into buying the higher version with specs that might just be over kill for the user.
Another classic example is when high end power houses like the Samsung Galaxy S2 be said to incompatible with games like Riptide GP... stating that it is so because of the absense of an nvidia GPU... But the same S2 can run the game flawlessly when the game is tricked into thinking its an nvidia GPU with root apps like ChainFire 3D. This got thinking and now I have arrived to the conclusion that yes, phone companies do keep there phones a bit under powered for their greed( this isn't true for every low end device that doesn't fulfil your wishes).
