CES 2010 has lots of rumors building up already. Few predict that this time Steve Jobs will deliver the keynote. On the Contrary, other sources claim Apple will be missing in the gadgets show. whatever the case is, it’s going to be BIG.

Let’s go through Top 6 Trends for CES 2010 followed by the hottest Gadgets:

1. More, Better, crisper, cheaper 3D /2D HDTVs

You might argue that 3D won’t make it’s way to Home theaters, but vendors don’t think alike, they will be there to change our perception. One thing is clear, TV manufacturers need something new to get people buying TVs. Samsung, Sony, Hitachi, LG and several others are going to showcase their latest offerings, some with 3d glasses, and others without it. Though it was there in CES 2009, 2010 is going to be bigger and more serious on this. Expect cheaper, energy efficient and Higher resolution, higher refresh rate TVs in 2010.

With the announcement of Intel’s new Atom N450 processor, the netbook is taking steps toward becoming less than a poor-performing, undersized laptop.

At the same time, expect all the major notebook manufacturers to introduce laptops with ULV – that’s ultra-low-voltage — processors in them, which offer more performance than the Atom, great efficiency (and thus battery life), and quite thin form-factor.

We’ll get to see Intel and AMD coming with new line of processors that are faster and lower on the power footprint.
