I wish I could be there but haven't been able to go in years as I'm no longer a "qualified member" of the CE industry... Anyway, discuss your favorites, funny, most interesting stuff you've heard from CES. I'll start. Lenovo IdeaCentre Horizon: 27-inch table-sized computer | BGR Apparently, this is not a joke. It's a 27" tablet. Commercial at . Press release at Lenovo Newsroom | Lenovo Pioneers "Interpersonal Computing" with Company’s First Table PC.
Ok, CES ended last week yet no replies? I haven't finished listening to the TWiT podcast yet but they brought up how bizarre the Qualcomm keynote was. The Verge put this together: Video: The best and worst of the Qualcomm's CES keynote | The Verge.
I had a couple buddies there with cool stuff on display. The motorized unicycle looked cool. The fork with the built in chew timer and scale is weird... In TV land, the new "3D" is "4K". Not really anything too impressive since all they did was put a smaller transistor on a sheet of glass and called it good. And even if you had one today, nothing has that much resolution so it would be a waste. I am not upgrading my Blurays for some time, and 1080 looks stunning. 4K is going to be just a hard a sell as 3D is (well was). Lots of tablets and phones, they mostly all blend. The Surface and the Galaxy are the only two I think are even worth looking at if a tablet is your deal. I have a tablet PC (back when today's tablets were called "slates") and it works great. I am glad to see some of them coming back after dropping off the face of the planet. All in all, I don't really know how much longer CES will be around. I was at SEMA last November at it was awesome. The timing is also perfect. For a consumer show, it really needs to be before a big shopping season (like end of November for the pre-black friday) to announce products. Early January is just silly. Most of these things never make it to market.
