What I've learned at CES...

Here are my lessons from the show floor:

After wandering CES for a few hours you'll go home and think your TV is inadequate, no matter what the size

People will do anything for free stuff 鈥 even if it is just a t-shirt

The TV wall-mount business must be fiercely competitive - I counted at least 20 firms at CES

Innovation in consumer electronics is hard 鈥 the industry has mainly a 鈥渕e too鈥 mentality

Future archeologists will wonder why mankind produced so many USB memory sticks at the start of the 21st Century

Transformers and The Bourne Ultimatum were the films of choice to show off a HD TV

Consumer robots are still very disappointing 鈥 when will they progress from being mere toys?

CES is a very democratic show - where else could a small US firm selling walkie talkies and cordless phones have a trestle table booth next to the behemoth that is Microsoft?
