It's not all about singing robots in Tokyo this year. The annual CEATEC tech expo is loaded with the makings of your gadget-geek future.
Most of the more drool-worthy goodies are, of course, only in the prototype or demo stages right now. (Just like IFA before it, it's just a big ol' tease.) For now think of them as a far eastern crystal ball to what we can look forward to at CES come January when us Yanks get to have some fun.
From a Star Trek translator app to the thinnest laptop screen we've ever seen, here is the tech to watch coming out of CEATEC.
