More Than 20,000 Products Launched At CES 2008
The organizers of the Consumer Electronics Show took a breather after last week's extravaganza and then did some bean-counting. More than 20,000 products launched at the Las Vegas trade show and will soon be on store shelves and in consumers' homes.
Every major consumer electronics advance has been launched at CES, including the videocassette recorder, compact disc player, digital video disc player, high-definition television, satellite radio, videogame system Xbox, and more, officials said in a press release.
"No event on earth launches more new technology and devices," said Gary Shapiro, president of the Consumer Electronics Association. "This year was bigger than ever, with the latest innovations, from new next- generation digital televisions, including OLEDs, 150-inch plasmas and laser TVs, to wireless HD, the coolest new multimedia phones and ultra mobile PCs."
The event featured 2,700 exhibitors and 30 product categories and tens of thousands of media reports captured this year's product debuts. More than 4,500 print, online, and broadcast journalists attended the show.
