| - This was my fifth Consumer Electronics Show in a row.....the WOW factor is gone.....but it is still a rating of 4 Yelp Stars specifically for the 2012 CES Show.
The Consumer Electronics Show version 2012 was mostly about the next NEXT next NEXT generation 3D TV, OLED television, Ultra-Notebooks, and everything next generation cameras, smartphones, and iPad look alike tablets.
As compared to many year's past, the 2012 version of CES was not a disappointment, but definitely not a bore for me personally this time around.
Some interesting technology that is definitely not ready for prime-time is glasses-free 3D televisions. It was we were able to preview at 2011's CES, but this technology still needs to be developed.
Maybe I am more savvy at it, but Social Networking has definitely grown leaps and bounds from previous years! More advertising and participation in Twitter, Foursquare, Facebook, and Klout FUN for all that participate. There were prizes from participating vendors like Blackberry, Sharp, CNET, Monster Sound, SD Consortium, etc. I walked away with a lot of swag! =)
One FUN thing of note is that I tweeted about the CES Sharp booth and it was extremely NEATO MOSQUITO to see my tweet up on the Sharp Social Networking Jumbotron...I wish I had my camera out to take a picture of it, but it was definitely a HIGHLIGHT!
One thing of note.....Microsoft will not be at next year's show. Will other vendors follow along with them.....it will have to wait till 2013 to see.
As compared to previous years, the cellular connection for all providers was BAD, but this year was surprising okay. I am high bandwidth user, but there was no major complaints about the internet connection from any cell provider that I could find from other smartphone users I chatted with.
As I stated on my previous reviews, I have no $$$$$ to purchase any of the new and fun and upcoming consumer technology, but it will always be fun to dream!
