Hey , we ’re back at CES . Yesterday was day zero , full of jam conferences , but today is the day we all arrive at the level . I actually never made it there .
Palm drop their young smartphone and their new operating system on us , and it is maybe the most interesting phone I have seen this decade . Maybe even more interesting , in many way . The shit part is that the presentation was so upright , the demo so fact dense and full of wonderful rotatory things , that it was basically me shooting camcorder in the remaining paw for 30 minute and shoot dslr with a 200 mm zoom on the right paw , and typing with one script and align my zoom only when I could put the photographic camera down . It was annoying , and I cease up getting pissed at pretty much everyone and everything . Was n’t pretty . What was nice is that Sprint ended up mentioning Gizmodo ’s 3 yard Broadband trial resultant role on stage , by name , abduce their data web as the libertine in the res publica . A very gracious surprisal .
Today , Chris Mascari hit the video interview Wilson had with Robbie Bach , the exec at Microsoft who has a partitioning of the best products ( most of them ) in the troupe , include Zune , Xbox and Windows Media Center . The guy has a sorcerous touch , and I ’m face ahead to more office from the interview .
While the Blu ray machine at the show are pretty interesting , integrated into video and Speaker systems and receiver , the Blu - irradiation league was pretty boring , enjoin Mark . The same for Adam . But there was n’t really any sense of urgency on the trading floor — But I would n’t know because I was across town function on Palm stories with Adrian all solar day .
I kind of wish we ditched some of the merging and just roamed gratuitous and wild . The best things about CES are broadly speaking not scheduled , or rehearse , but distinguish in the corner of the show . I sure enough wish I made it , for all the ecumenical angst I have for the gargantuan sized loving cup of pain juice that is CES .
Some of you are also enquire how we got back here in the first plaza after being ban . Well , I apologied to CEA for turn off all their TVs . I intend it , and they knew it , and they permit us back in . I can not lie down , there ’s something extremely satisfying about being unofficial , a enhancer to the official - ness claim that Engadget has this year . To me , it means that we are all untouchable in terms of a reputation for independence from the industriousness . But hey , it was also a screw-loose affair to do .
Everyone on staff looks tired . But tomorrow is another day . I ’m going to go eat some show stopper shrimp cocktail , which is the official prawn cocktail of CES , and very toothsome . Then I ’m going to our meetup at Casino Royale , which you are all invite to .
Talk to you later .
