I'm writing this on my iPhone as I make my way from the LVCC North Hall on the last day of CES 2010 and I have to say that all in all it has been a very successful show.The crowd returned this year as evidenced by my lack of getting lunch on a regular basis with the press room (which opened for lunch at 11:30am) being out of boxed sandwiches by 20 after noon, but I was glad to see it. It means that both the economy and the consumer electronic market is makinging a comeback.
Over the past four days I've seen more tech designed to help your tech better reflect your personality, save you money by using less power and even things that just don't make that much sense (yes iGuGu Game Core I'm looking at you) than I can currently wrap my mind around. One thing is for sure: I would change a single moment of it.
Shows like CES help breed competition within an industry while introducing new ideas and shining the spotlight on industry thought leaders. In an age where transparency and innovation are key to economic success it is incredibly cool to see events like CES not only surviving but thriving.
As I start tunneling through the mountains of PR materials I've picked up this week and writing articles on some of the gadgets, companies, and people that impressed me one way or another it won't be the aching of my calves or feet that sticks out in my mind nor the lady in the bathroom that boosted some of my swag while I was taking a tinkle, it will be the excitement of celebrating the new and shared geeking out moments that will dominante the memories of Vegas and that's not too shabby.
