CES

I’m going to CES along with 110,000+ other people.  Sometimes when I tell people I’m going they give a sort of involuntary shudder.  It’s the bigness, the crowds, the hype that makes them flinch.

2500 exhibitors, 300 of them new.

Drew Carey.

Long taxi lines and bad wi-fi (according to CNET).

Advice to eat breakfast, wear comfortable shoes, and carefully plan each day.

Lots of talk about the Google Nexus One smartphone, including a VZ/Google deal launching in the spring.  No keyboard.

Lots of talk about the three billion app downloads for the iPhone.

Plus:  lots of people from DC!
