As if we need further confirmation, the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) sent a press wire to detail the Consumer Electronics Show 2008's resounding success. Las Vegas, Nevada was hot in January 7 to 10, with more than 2,700 companies putting their products and innovations to light on a record-setting 1.85 million net square feet of exhibit space. Among the firsts that made history at CES 2008 was Panasonic's revelation of the world's largest plasma HDTV that stood 150", ComcastÂ’s first portable DVR, and General Motors' energy efficient innovations which involved advancements in fuel cell technology and introduced electronically driven propulsion systems.
CEA president and CEO Gary Shapiro shared his thoughts, saying:
This yearÂ’s
International CES was a show of firsts: the first leaders from the
automotive and cable industries to deliver CES keynote addresses, the
first time the president of a country has spoken at CES, and the first
year a television station broadcast its entire nightly newscast – NBC
Nightly News –live from the show floor.
More than 130,000 industry professionals joined the fray, while celebrities Jerry Seinfeld, Dr. Dre, Ryan Seacrest, Will.I.Am, Natasha Beddingfield, Kevin Costner, Michael Douglas, Mary J. Blige, former Guns NÂ’ Roses guitarist Slash, David Ortiz and many others were also present.
