Comments on: CES getting bigger, but not necessarily better

News.com's Ina Fried finds herself agreeing with analyst Jeffrey Kagan, who said CES may have been even more massive this year, but it was short on big new ideas.

The problem with CES this year...

The problem with CES this year... was that it arrived one week
before MacWorld!
Last year, CES began Monday and ended Tuesday noon (after
Steve announced the iPhone), so nobody knew it was "so borely
dull!"

CES Sucked

Not only do you have to walk 100 hundred miles, but you have to do it through cigarette smoke so thick you could cut it with a knife. I about died with asthma

CES Was Bad--Smoke Was Worse

Are all geek heads smokers? I got so sick from cigarette smoke I about croaked over. There was nothing new @ CES either, I don't believe I'll ever go back, it's not worth the smoke inhalation, the parking fees (30 to 40 bucks)or all the walking.

CES is dead as far as I can see it in my book.

Did CES underwhelm or did we overexpect?

Eventually the curve has to flatten out, or at least plateau from time to time. Could that be what's happening? Or were the real innovators simply lost among the noise, smoke & mirrors?
A number of people have compared this CES to E3 before the downsizing. Could that be what's happening?
