Well what can I say about this years CES? CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY.. There was so much to do and it took so long to do shit because traffic was gridlocked up and down the strip. Its crazy that they do CES and AVN(Porn Convention) on the same weekend the energy in those couple miles of Las Vegas Blvd. is quite intense.. After walking around on Thursday and Friday and the subsequent nighttime partying. Saturday was mainly used for rest.. Sunday I returned to CES to follow up and go to the places I had missed..

As far as the real-time reporting from CES that did not go down for 2 important reasons.. 1) My camera phone was just in no way capable of taking the pictures I wanted and
2) Sending those pictures to the blog failed due to the size of the pics..
3) The quality of the pics weren’t good at all

This just proves to me that I need to go out and buy a REAL camera. I knew I should have bought one before I left but I assumed I could go to the Fry’s in Vegas and get one.. BUT in regular Fry’s item fashion I had to take the one I wanted back because it was defective.. I was hoping to buy a Samsung A55W, but after trying all 3 that Fry’s had in stock they all had the same problem. After taking a few pics with the flash the camera shuts off complaining of low battery, even after 3 fresh sets of batteries I still got the same error and the camera would shut down completely after snapping only 4 or 5 pics.. And when I tried the movie function the camera would shut of after only a few seconds of recording.. My advice: Don’t get a Samsung camera no matter if the specs blow away the rest of the cameras they have on stock. It just don’t work.. I thought that maybe that would happen with any camera that still uses the AA batteries, then I thought that cant be true because then why else would the rest of the cameras work. –movin on

There weren’t that many fresh and new things to see this time.. Most of the things I saw were mostly products or services that can enhance other products or services.. There weren’t any new developments like the iPod/PS3 or anything.. Everyone and they gramma is tryin to ride the Skype boat. I even saw a wifi phone ironically called “Skypy phone” hmmm how original.. There were a few products that I just couldn’t understand.. I saw a WiFi Bluetooth stuffed puppy story teller set. I don’t know how it works I couldn’t stop laughing.. Peep the pic to see for yourself. One thing that was kool was the waterproof iPod, ya know for all those people who listen to music while they are underwater swimming..


There were more speakers there than anything.. I guess they aren’t done putting technology into the speakers you use to listen to music.. The only thing I could see different about the speakers this year is that they just get bigger.. Bigger and more powerful.. For when you want to play that Miami bass song and use the force of the bass to launch a satellite into space, lol

One of the other main reasons I was there was to pass out flyers to HypeTunes and let people know about our launch. We also met with the company that will provide us with the wifi internet radio streamer that we will be using to complement our software. The people we told about hypetunes were all excited to see it work.. they knew what it was just by reading the flyer before I even said anything. When something like that happens then you know that you are onto something. Next year if it all happens the right way perhaps We will have our own booth at CES then I can expense the whole thing.. yeay!! Enough for now im hungry and gonna go get something to eat..
