- The private room in the Samsung booth is worth getting into. There are 3 displays in that room that are from the future. You can’t take photos and I probably can’t print anything specific but I’ll say that they live up to the promise of OLED technology.
- I’m going to wake up very early for the next two days to avoid having to park in the North Concourse lot. How foolish I was for trying to get office work done before heading into the show. The Shuttle wasn’t too bad though and I recommend it over taking a Pedicab (or walking!) from the parking lot to the West Concourse.
- The double cortadito from the “Cubano Café” is essential afternoon drinking. Speaking of drinking, was it me or was there a lot of beer on the show floor?
- Transparent LCD displays on mini fridges are apparently still a big thing, although I’ve yet to actually see one installed anywhere.
- Listen Audio’s ListenWiFi product has my imagination reeling with possible applications. I need to sleep on it and spend some more time at their booth tomorrow.
- The show is busy, everyone is here and doing business. The dress code and facial hair in our industry is diverse and wide ranging.
