This has to be the most boring CES in awhile. C'mon MWSF!
#1
Is it me or is this years CES a total snoozer. Paging through the usual gadget sites and blogs all I see are incremental product revs like thinner flat screens and camcorders with a new useless feature or two. The new iRiver DAP is a stunner, but at this point in DAPs does it really matter? I have yet to find any products that I'd be busting out of my pants to buy.

So I hope Jobs has some really cool device or computer to show off next week. I'm getting desperate for a new gadget fix. (I'm really pulling for either a Duo style or convertible laptop since it's time for me to upgrade. Hard to believe the MBP is two years old already).

On CES day one all the female host was doing was fixating on the WiFi SD card and how it could be used to facilitate "UpSkirt Shots", she must have mentioned that at least five times, and then at the end of the program said she was only wearing pants from now on, no more skirts. Despite the male hosts trying to get across to her that the WiFi SD card does not take pictures, she carried on and on.

Taken out of context, that line is pretty funny!

I hope there's exciting stuff announced too. Makes me wonder what they have up their sleeve, when the Mac Pro and XServe machines were just updated, a week before the show. Seems to me like they wanted to get those updates out of the way for more exciting news...

She wasn't hired for her brains!
