The Consumer Electronics Show is just around the corner. I'm looking forward to seeing the next generation of dual-core 4G phones, "smart TVs" and wireless audio solutions. But as reported by The Associated Press, CES is also home to flops (see Android Tablets, Netbooks, 3-D TVs). Here are some potential downers that tech companies will continue to push onto consumers this year.

The "good news" is, these TVs will drop to $4,000 by the end of 2013. Avoid the hype for now and focus on the current-generation LCD and plasma "smart TVs."

CES is set to kick off Tuesday, Jan. 10. Check back here to get the scoop on what's hot and what's a flop.
