CES 2005 Day 3 - Return to the Show Floor
TheTechLounge writes "On day three I tried to catch up on some of the vendors I skipped over or just plain didn't see on days one and two. The sheer number of vendors boggles the mind and there is no way any single person can get a good look at everything. I narrowed my search and with a slightly better spatial relationship established with the convention center I set out to track down nVidia, Belkin and some other bigwigs." Here is day one.
Its such a waste to visit a tech show and focus on the major players. This is where the little guy truly has a place to shine. Startup's aren't able to catch much press with their news releases because they don't command the attention a fortune 500 company does. But small innovative companies that can raise enough money to get a small booth often has the slickest technology. Many companies have also been bought out because of the exposure they've gained at these kind of events -- such as Jana, who was later acquired by Microsoft after they gained enough attention just from being booth neighbors at Comdex.
CES is a show to hype up and coming products...
The site mentioned is talking about Logitech's MX1000.
I'm typing this reply from a computer that has a MX 1000 attached to it.
