CES Scorecard 2007 - What Came True; What Didn't

narramissic writes "In the race for Consumer Electronics Show (CES) headlines, companies parade new, hot, and not-quite-ready-for-primetime products while keynote speakers rev things up with predictions for the year ahead. An ITworld article runs down the list of who stuck their necks out too far in 2007, starting with Sharp's monster 108-inch LCD. 'The set represented the biggest flat-panel TV developed -- a title it still holds today -- and came without a price but with the promise of availability during 2007. But wealthy consumers are still waiting. Sharp said recently that it is still working on plans for a commercial launch for the TV set.'"

the list of who stuck their necks out too far in 2007

The guy killed by the tiger at the SF zoo on December 27 didn't make the list?

Am I the only one who read this and wondered where the rest of the article is? I found this kind of empty. They only wrote about four products and five technologies out of the 2000 vendors. No, the article was complete. You can buy the other 1991 products at Walmart.
