Update: Hasselblad has included another teaser on their site, which says this:
Camera Tech assumes that it is something not dissimilar to Canon’s World Of EOS service.
Note: they are counting down to the night of 31st; exactly the midnight between January and February.
What is Hasselblad counting to?
On this countdown on their website, Hasselblad has a countdown. But to what?

Sony’s CES 2010 press conference is now over: the conference mostly revolved around 3D technology as well as statistical reports.
The only cameras released were several announcements concerning video cameras and the revealing of twelve new cyber-shot cameras, as well as the announcement that Sony is making SD memory cards – yes, really.
To have a look at what was covered, check out Engadget’s live reports.
A reminder that Sony will be holding their CES 2010 press conference shortly later today (6th January).
It’s able to be watched @ ustream.tv starting at 4:15-5:15pm PST.
If you don’t want to watch it, you can view Engadget’s live reports.
From a mixture of sources (including Canon Rumors and Northlight), Canon should be holding announcements on February 9th (not January 9; it would coincide with the middle of CES, highly unlikely thus for a new model to be released. However, due to translation problems, Canon Rumors initially posted under January 9. It has been rectified, and they have received confirmation that the latter date is more accurate.)
– several PowerShot cameras, including high-end IXUS or ELPH models
– a Rebel DSLR (ie, xxxD or xxxxD; Camera Tech assumes an upgrade to the 1000D, be it a 1500D or 2000D, depending on model names)
– possibility of a second DSLR, including a 60D or 1Ds Mark IV; possibly both, but unlikely
– if the 1Ds Mark IV is launched, it is most likely to be launched with some lenses
The only lens that appears to be likely is a 60mm f/2.8 macro to feature an update, giving it IS. Patents were seen in December, 2009, which indicated the 70-200mm f/2.8 IS II (recently released) as well. The patent diagram is below (image CR):

Sony has scheduled a press conference on January 6th at CES 2010, and 4:15-5:15pm PST.
Details unknown.
