Location: CES Review HomeThe Broomfield Designers Annual CES Review
 I have been going to CES, the computer electronics show, for several years now. Usually there is a buzz about something. The energy in the air is fueled by hundreds of thousands of educated and brilliant brains, millions of dollars in marketing budgets, and hundreds of thousands in Per Diems. The whole point of the pandemonium is to find the latest and greatest thing, FOR YOUR NEEDS. The dance is mesmerizing, but wonderful.
2012 CES Show Highlights
This year for Review CES, we decided to only pick a few products that we felt were best in Show. We have found several products that were so amazing to us, that we really had to stop, back up, and show how this can really change things. Take a minute to look at these 8 items from the 2012 CES Consumer Electronics Show based on the information they provide. Under each of their explanations of the product, we follow up with why we think these products could be game changers. We think we did find a few diamonds in the rough at CES.

Mobile Innovation of note!
Phone Protective Coating - Liquipel Waterproof Phone Coating.
Liquipel makes dropping the phone in the toilet, shower, pool, or lake not much of a problem. All of a sudden I see a load fewer phones being broken. I also see this being adopted by manufacturers as it would reduce the number of claims for phones. On the other hand it may not be accepted, as it would reduce the need for new phones in the market.

A look at previous CES Events
The problem started at the 2010 CES show, that year was different, the discussions were not solely related to technology. Politics & law, had just entered the building. By 2011, politics and law more than dominated the discussion at many an exhibitor's CES booth. The year was marked by the beginning of the "Patent Wars" between Google and Apple, the FCC probe into Google, and continual nuances to the Facebook terms of use.
Politics in Computing? This is new.

Annual CES Goodies
CES is always a day for celebrities, and sitings. Lady Ga Ga was in the house, as was Maria Bartiromo, bookended by more models than you could count. The women were beautiful, and the electronics too. The food, the ambiance, that many smart computer folks in the elegance of Las Vegas strip properties are something to behold. Start breaking in your shoes, now, the next CES isn't so far away. CES, the Computer Electronics Show, is a spectacle; you should go next year to see it for yourself.
