CES 2010: It’s Almost Old News!

The past week has been super-long, so I’m glad that I can finally say that CES 2010 is a wrap! The entire event was good overall, although it seemed to be quite a bit smaller than last year, which I wasn’t really expecting (I expected an upturn). It could still be the economy, or the fact that CEA (the folks who handle CES) charges insane rates, but either way, I’m hoping to see a larger event next year.

I do have to admit one thing… I was completely off the mark when I thought I’d have lots of time to get to a PC and write content, hence our overall lack of CES-related content. From the early morning to the late night, I was out of the hotel and away from Internet access, so it was virtually impossible for me to get to posting. By the time I got back to the hotel after a long day, I was wiped.

The lesson? To bring a mobile wireless card with me next year. I wish this thing called “WiMax” would finally catch on over here, since it would make things a whole lot easier! That aside, the event overall was quite good, and I stumbled on numerous products that I found to be pretty cool. Most of these I haven’t talked about yet, but I will over the next few days. If time permits, I’d like to also do a “Best of” article once again, as there are a couple outstanding products in mind that deserve such recognition.

Later today, I’ll be making a post in the forums with a slew of photos that I took while in Vegas, so you can see all of what I saw – at least, what was of interest. A lot of photos I wish came out, didn’t, so I won’t be posting as many as I’d like, but I’ll still get some good ones in there. Shooting photos in a seriously dark club / restaurant is tough.

As I write this, I’m still in Vegas, and will be home mid-week. After I get back, I’ll be posting a review of a new graphics card shortly afterwards (no names!), and within the next few weeks, as always, we’ll continue to be delivering a barrage of quality content for you to eat up (it won’t make you fat, I promise).

That picture above was taken from a suite in the Palms hotel, which is where Gigabyte and Patriot’s joint party was held. That suite easily offered the best view I’ve ever seen of Vegas!
