Despite getting to bed at what passes around here for a reasonable hour, and that I didn't drink after about 11, I'll admit that I feel rough. That would probably be the 3 nights of post 3am finishes and the early calls for meetings.
One of the problems is they pump extra Oxygen into the casinos and bars - this does two things; it keeps you feeling awake and alert and it stops you feeling so drunk.
Of course, the moment you go elsewhere, for example, to bed. Things go down hill fast.
Never mind. Tis but once a year... except I have Mobile World Congress in 4 weeks and that's pretty much a rerun.
Back to the show.
Well back to the show.
I did actually get to see it this year, which is more than last year.
Nice stuff - a lot of very impressive 3D stuff on TVs. The 3D prototype monitors without glasses were interesting but the images unclear. I finally tried out a Myvu (www.myvu.com) which was interesting but not good enough to fork over $300 for. Give them a little longer and I expect that a pair will be appearing in my standard travel kit. But they need to get lighter and up a notch from VGA.
I liked the PS3 stuff I saw, and I am tempted sorely. The Sony Vaio TT was also pretty spectacular.
Just plain weird: building a complete house of the future inside the event but putting it at the far end of the least accessable hall.
Work related: all good meetings. The Nvidia demo of their new chipset for mobile devices looked good, but I'm naturally skeptical about canned demo's.
It was a hard show. Lots of excellent networking, some extremely good customer contacts.
Next stop Barcelona - rinse, repeat...
