The New York Times is reporting (http://gadgetwise.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/01/10/signs-of-the-times/) there were few if any major product announcements at this year's Consumer Electronics Show and attendance was down considerably.
The official attendance figures won’t be released until Sunday, but there’s no question that fewer people were at this year’s C.E.S..
America’s largest trade show clocked 141,000 visitors last year, but a Consumer Electronics Association staff person said she thought even 100,000 visitors would be good in this economy.
The decline in attendance has been dramatic: corridors that are usually impassable are merely very crowded; those that are always crowded are now sparsely trafficked.
