The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)® today announced the launch of CES’ newest TechZone, Access on the Go, co-sponsored by the International Digital Publishing Forum.

This new TechZone is dedicated to technology that is changing the way consumers access content. The 2011 International CES, the world’s largest consumer technology tradeshow, is set to run January 6-9 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

With the steady increase in demand for on-the-go content, mobile devices that deliver music, movies, television, books and magazines have become more popular. Gone are the limits of gaining information from stationary forms of technology or even from just a cell phone. As consumers seek new ways to view, obtain and send content on the go, the Access on the Go TechZone will feature devices that are changing the way content is accessed.

The TechZone will showcase technology that promotes seamless connectivity and mobility, enabling users to communicate, access and send content from any location - in the car, at home or on-the-go. The Access on the Go TechZone will showcase the most innovative devices relating to eBooks, netbooks, smartbooks and tablets, including brands such as Handii and the Entourage eDGe.

According to CEA Market Research, the tablet category is experiencing astonishing growth including advancements in 3D, and represents 31 percent of the total U.S. consumer PC market, which includes desktops, notebooks and other tablet PCs.
