The Consumer Electronics Show is well and truly underway here in Las Vegas, with all the major press conferences scheduled for later today. But we've already had a glimpse of some of the new tech coming our way at CES Unveiled, so here's a quick roundup of what we've seen so far:

Pure Contour, a £199 iPod dock with built-in internet radio, wi-fi streaming and video output. More details in our news story. Pure also tells us that it will be giving its internet radio portal, The Lounge, a major makeover and v2 of the site will be available from the end of January/early February.

One of the most eye-catching stands was The House of Marley, a new range of electronics created by the family of Bob Marley in partnership with HoMedics. Their aim is to develop "premium quality, eco-conscious products that embody Bob Marley's and his family's values of equality, unity, authenticity, sustainabilty and charity".

The Marley range will be available in the US from the second quarter of 2011, and consists of three line-ups: Jammin', Freedom and Destiny. Products range from $30 headphones to iPod docks, speakers and boomboxes up to $500, as you can see below.
