happen at COMDEX? The only thing I've ever got out of attending COMDEX is a
horrible flu.
personally i stopped bothering to sign up with them because i got more spam from them then any other 'legit' convention so far.

Well, at least in Comdex you get the chance to smell, weigh, shake, and look under the things that are available mostly anywhere in the web. But the plain truth is that attedance to trade fairs is going down anywhere; the same happened in SIMO, the spanish Comdex (if there's such a thing), which happened a short while ago. Product presentations are mainly done outside them, so it does not make a lot of sense to go to a trade fair to see booth after booth of computers, laptops, palmtops or whatever is the rage that year.

It's just a BloJJ
The first Comdex had about 10k people.
I think more than 10k people attended the first day.
