CES 2008 - Coming up from Vegas.

The show officially opens Monday and as I post this we are gearing up for the ever busy show floors to talk in-depth with those who matter in the world of AV. Please note that although this is the premier CE show in the world, it would appear that WiFi is not a strong point at all in Vegas. Possibly because they want you in the casinos and not your hotel room editing podcasts! However, I will do my very best to bring you everything that happens as soon as I can, from what is turning out to be a very busy CES 2008.

NOTE Even though it's a tech show, getting internet access has been a real pain, please be patient while we try to fix these issues.

I would have thought that, on the contrary, being a technical show, the last thing Phil would needed to have thought about was that he might have problems getting internet access.

Cheers,

Martin.

Re: CES 2008 - Coming up from Vegas.

Internet access was a real issue in the major hotels, I guess they want you in the casinos and not in your room putting together Podcasts

Elliott sorry I missed you, just got the message now but I'm back in the UK today! Maybe next year
