Here are the emerging technology stories for the week of January 7th.

Presentations Everywhere – One upping last week’s news about an iPod sized projector, 3M is demoing an LED projector that fits inside of mobile phones.

We’re All Backseat Drivers – Lots of people have been reporting on the driverless cars being demoed at CES and there have been lots of bold predictions about driverless cars.

Springtime for WiMax – Sprint is announcing that their long discussed WiMax network will be available to customers in April.

CES In Person – There has been lots of news from the Consumer Electronics Show this week and one of the best sources has been my colleague, eWEEK Labs Senior Analyst Andrew Garcia, who has been blogging daily from the show (and posting lots of cool pictures).
