CES 2008 in Las Vegas

The consumer electronics show just past. It was held in Las Vegas. Did anybody go?

Heres an article on some of the things that were there. There is also a video showing some new electronics and a link to the sight...

"In any case, the trends are similar to last year: smarter, wireless, more efficient gadgets. Thin is REALLY in with TVs, including flat-panels from Sony that measure only a few millimeters thick with an eye-popping OLED display. Big is back, too, as the largest plasma weighs in at 150" from Panasonic. There's plenty of touchscreen around like LG's Voyager (likely thanks to the success of the iPhone -- no sign of Apple here with MacWorld happening post-CES). Most analysts here see a slow shift in the high-def DVD format as Blu-Ray surges and major companies like Warner Bros. pull out of HD-DVD. What a difference a year makes. And GPS is absolutely everywhere in watches like one from Garmin to nearly every cell phone. Plus, a major presence from companies who produce in-dash technology for vehicles, which is a rapidly growing market. There's also an SUV from GM that drives itself...but I'll have more on that later. "

I wonder if you can upload different songs to the dancing music player. Like those iPOD speakers that have flashing lights that coordinate with the song being played. I would get tired of Ricky Martin after the third time.
