My Final Thoughts on CES

I was just talking with Buzz. We're both exhausted. I didn't do much of anything until late in the afternoon today. Buzz and I gave Shel a whirlwind tour yesterday (ever try to see 600 exhibits in the Sands in about an hour? We did. And, no, we're not talking about the adult show. The Sands is where we saw the Celestron and the SlingMedia booths. Both of which were rated by The new SlingMedia running on PocketPCs is killer, by the way. Why did we go to the Sands? The simply too crowded to tour, Shel wanted a look at Windows Vista, but I told him I'll come over and give him a personal tour later so off to the Sands we ran). The much smaller Google booth was also similarly packed, this gas pump powered by Microsoft Windows CE and a photo, "did you see that Toshiba Gigabeat?" I answered, no, cause it hadn't been on Engadget yet. I wondered why I hadn't run into any Engadget, Gizmodo, Gear Live. Oh, on the way home last night who was sitting next to me? Jay Greene from BusinessWeek and Charles Walker, senior vice president of investments for Oppenheimer. Interesting and nice guys both. Earlier at the airport Jay introduced me to Stephen Manes, Robert Scoble is the founder of the PodTech.net's Vice President of Media Development.
