Day 1 - January 4 | |||
| Two days before the opening is nothing but crates and forklifts, and an occasional partially set up booth. |
| Meantime, the press starts to gather for a preview of some companies. |
| Axion showed some LCD TV/DVD combos. A 15" goes for $499. A 20" goes for $699. |
| Genoa showed a 5 color (RGB + Cyan + Yellow) LCD. More vibrant colors and claims that it can help reduce costs. |
| Clyde Smith of Turner Broadcasting at Storage Visions. Digitizing all of their content on 100's of Terabytes |

| Micro digital projector prototype by InFocus using LEDs for light source. Note quarter sitting on the left side. |
| Kodak's 4 Mpixel camera with built in WiFi (black tab on top) for $599. Most buzz on this product was negative. |
| HP's LightScribe, lets you label CD in the CD burner itself - no ink needed. |
| LG-Philips 2" VGA display. They had a magnifying glass nearby to let you read it. Pitch was fine enough that it almost looked like a photograph. |
Day 6 - January 9 - Last day of CES | |||
| Some will do anything to win a free product. If the Microsoft fairy sees you wearing their buttons you get a free SPOT watch. |
| Put a projector behind a Lucera panel and you have a bright floating display. Not for consumers ($1900 to $3000), but less expensive than their competitor. |
| Samsung booth. They claimed that they had the largest booth at CES (2500 square feet). |
| Samsung and everyone else had some kind of portable media player. Some had photos, some video, some just music. |
Day 7, 8 & 9 - ICCE | |||
ICCE consists of technical papers. Difficult to appreciate through photos, but here are a couple of representative slides. ETRI is the Electronics & Telecommunications Research Institute funded by the Korean Government
