Norwood, MA (PRWEB) December 3, 2007 -- Innovation: It's the ideal that inspires many consumer electronics designs. The feat is getting that innovation to market in captivating, well-priced products. At the 2008 International CES® in Las Vegas, January 7-10, Analog Devices' Maury Wood will contribute his perspective to the panel, "Innovation from the Inside Out," to be moderated by EE Times Editor-in-Chief, Junko Yoshida.

Session: Innovation from the Inside Out (HLE8)

Date:     Monday, January 7

Time:     1:30 p.m.- 2:30 p.m.

"Consumers have been conditioned to expect a lot from CE products, in part because embedded software lets developers gear the features and personality of their products to people's needs and tastes," said Wood. "That opens up a big drawing board where innovations are becoming real, starting from within product designs."

Maury Wood is product line director for Mobile Blackfin® Processors at Analog Devices, Inc., where he is focused on developing silicon, software components, and platform frameworks that address a wide spectrum of mobile embedded processing applications, including portable media players and multimedia accessories.
