How I spent my CES vacation (part 1)

I thought I would break my CES trip into 2 parts.  Part one will be about technology (stuff I saw) and part two will be about marketing (how the stuff I saw was presented).  In all fairness, I didn’t see everything on the floor, but I did hit all 3 halls + the Hilton.  For a really good overview of CES, visit the team over at engadget – I think they did a really good job of covering CES.

OK, with that explanation (which probably isn’t necessary anyway) out of the way, let me dive right in by saying that CES was all about 3D or tablets.  I’m exaggerating of course, but it really did seem like every booth was either selling 3D [something] (monitors, software, glasses, chipsets designed to run 3D) or tablet [something] (tablets of all different sizes, or stands for tablets, cases, cables, accessories, etc.).  In fact, I feel like I didn’t see anything really innovative – just a lot of improvements on existing technology.
