Away to the second greatest show on Earth

MSNBC.com calls CES the greatest show on Earth, but I have to take a bit of issue with that. Yes, it is the single largest US (!) technology and consumer show, but it is not the largest international one. Credit for that goes to CeBIT in Europe, which, although it is only held every two years, puts CES in its place. CES boasts only 140,000 visitors; CeBit nearly 500,000. Yikes.

Despite that, it is a great show, and I'll be headed there on Monday to see the latest and greatest flat panel displays, coolest wireless products, and the highest concentration of of high-tech marketing seen in the US. Expect blog entries and photos starting on Tuesday! And if other bloggers want to recognize me, I'm the bald guy with the SLR and the Apple Powerbook. Surprisingly, there aren't a ton of analysts that meet that description, so if you see me, introduce yourself and say hi.
