Some Videos From the Floor

Here are a few videos and snapshots of the insanely thin TV's at the show. I guess if they have to make a '2D' Television set then they REALLY want to make it 2D.

The other video is a walk around of a unique display designed to show off something, not quite sure what, but they sell speakers.

CES So Far

So far there haven't been any real show stoppers at CES, except the ShowStoppers event that was turning away press and bloggers left and right because they advertised it to all press, but then decided only to let in pre-approved press, but I digress.

I have seen some different products thata will likely become standard features in the coming years. The Zomm bluetooth keychain tether looks like a simple winning product. Nothing fancy but I tried it out myself and it worked like a charm, literally a charm.

It now seems weird to look at '2D' Televisions since nearly everything here is 3D. They aren't great but they handle the 3rd dimension well. The main issue now I see is the brightness levels are too low when you have to wear sunglasses to see the image. The glasses are much better looking than anything I have used before and the active shutter wireless glasses NVidea is sell for "$200 but the price will REALLY be about $150" worked great with no flicker at all.

More to come soon. Ebooks and iphone cases, as well as the Lenovo netbooks that have great industrial design and horsepower I wasn't expecting.
