CES: Checking in for duty

CES involves lots of walking about in endless huge corridors with horrible carpet, and is mostly about televisions. But it's also the nation's most potent concentration of cool stuff that blinks, beeps and occasionally does something useful.

There'll be new gear from the big names, strange gadgets from people we've never heard of, and unbelievably cheesy junk that should not be at all. A handful of the 130,000 floorwalkers will take the stage to tell you how all this will enrich your lives, line shareholders' pockets, and change the world. Most, of course, will be stuck in tedious behind-the-scenes meetings with suppliers, buyers, and journalists—all just trying to get through another year of the sprawling tech bazaar that is the Consumer Electronics Show.

For us, though, it's just about the toys. Let's see what we can dig up in the next four days.
