The organizers of the Consumer Electronics Show said they were expecting 4,500 members of the media and 2,200 financial and industry analysts at the massive annual event this week in Las Vegas. In 2007, CES hosted 1,150 journalists from 73 countries, a spokeswoman told us.

This year, CES introduced a new blogger category as well. While officials won't have the final verified numbers until after the show, the spokeswoman said 300 bloggers pre-registered to attend. Reporters, bloggers, photographers, videographers and others took full advantage of fully-equipped press rooms (see photo above and another here).
