A Look at the Consumer Electronic Show

In the past, I have written lots about the new products that emerged from the Consumer Electronics Show, which just concluded its 2006 four day run in Las Vegas. With the emergence of blogs and Internet video, I don't have to write that much about it anymore as you can see it for yourself.

CNET, which has always done a very good job of covering this event in the past (as well as the old Comdex), has outdone itself this year in its coverage with lots of stories and plenty of videos about the show and new products.

I enjoyed the video walking tour of the various event sites and looking at many of the new product videos. They also gave out 14 Best-Of-Show awards for their favorite products, which is no small feat considering the thousands of new products that were introduced.

The first of the dual-processor laptops were introduced at the show, which are interesting, but a little out of my price range right now. New digital cameras were in short supply as most of those new products will be introduced next month at a different show that focuses on photographic products. Other categories covered include cell phones/PDA's, car technology, computers, networking, televisions, home audio, home video, MP3/Portable video, gaming, and more.

So, if you would like to spend a few minutes (or a few hours) looking at many of the new products coming our way, head over to the special section of the CNET web site that covers the show. If you are anything like me, you should really have a good time.
