Early Gadget Favorites From the Floor of CES

Tech experts give their early thoughts on CES

Thursday Jan. 7, 2010:  It was a vibrant day full of joie de vivre among the Bay Area digerati and techfiles from around the world at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show, where over 2,500 tech firms showed off their goods.

Going into this mammoth event, the burning question on my mind was: “Is CES going to show us anything truly different this year, or are we simply going to see our favorite gadgets and gizmos shaped into bigger and faster versions of themselves?”
