Yawn

[pduncan]

Does anyone else think this was a Yawn of a CES this year. Nothing really new or exciting. Mostly repackaging of the same old stuff.

Ditto! The news and information coming from CES2007 was not very exciting.

[vurbano]

It absolutely sucked IMO

I agree this year is a big snooze. Last year was also a big snooze.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Did something happen this week?

[DWS44]

if a show happens in the desert and nothing is said worth hearing, did the show really happen?!?

Can't wait to see the 100 HD channels on D* and E* at 2008 CES. :)

I thought last year was a snooze fest but this year took the cake. I was HIGHLY disapointed with the show, and not just from the workd of Satellite.

Overall I give this show 2 thumbs down.

The cool HT stuff is usually announced at CEDIA.

All the action was at MacWorld...

All the action was at MacWorld...
You think so? I thought it was bad this year. iPhone and the Apple TV. No hardware updates. No mention of Leapord or any other software for that matter. Pretty lame show this year, unless you're in the market for the iPhone.

AND the biggest lawsuit. :devil:

Must be lame show year...

You think so? I thought it was bad this year. iPhone and the Apple TV. No hardware updates.Which I was not figuring on, as I just plunked down for a Mac Pro and figured Steve Jobs would announce it was obsolete. Everyone expects the Mac Pro using the quad core Xeons is just around the corner (I did read that one brave soul had gotten some quad core CPUs and successfully upgraded their Mac Pro to 8:eek: CPUs, so it should be "easy" for Apple to do the same.)

What seemed unusual to me was nothing that was announced was immediately available. In the past, you could go to the on-line store within minutes of the keynote speech and start ordering what Steve was showing off. The AppleTV and the new Airport Extreme won't be available until February, and the "iPhone" until June.

I think that there will be a big hardware/software announcement when Leopard is released. Steve was just too jazzed about is new toy to talk about anything else. Maybe there will be a widescreen iPod (iPhone - Phone) that can use WiFi to synch (even though the USB connection is the only realistic way to go.)
