Talk to High-Def Digest's CES Reporter here.

[MentokTheMindTaker]

Hello everbody!

I will be on the CES show floor when the halls open up on Thursday taking product photos and
recording product information for High-Def Digest. I will be checking this thread during the
show to get feedback and suggestions from you guys so leave your comments and
questions after the beep.

BOOP!



BEEP!

Luv,
Steve McBarnes

I will list the booths that I am planning to visit here. I will attempt to list them in order of how
important I think they are. Once I get the list pasted here, let me know if you think my
priororities are way off.

LG
Sony
Panasonic
Sharp
Samsung
Pioneer
Toshiba
Philips
Hitachi
Denon
Dolby Labs
JVC
Mitsubishi
Sigma Designs
XStreamHD
VUDU

That's all on my list as of right now. For a full (alphabetic) listing of all the CES 2009
Exhibitors you can go here to find more exhibitors for me to visit.

Also reserved for me.

I'm mostly interested in whatever you come across that is new. From Blu-ray or other technologies, I want to hear about what is new.

Another 1080p plasma/lcd/projector isn't really newsworthy, but a LED driven projector would be interesting (at the very least), or a significant new BD product on the market.

It would be cool if the iPhone could load directly to the website and had a speech to text converter for tagging photos on the fly.

I don't own a High-Def Digest shirt.

I will be wearing various shirts but here is my head shot in case you spot me:


I will have my black and orange laptop messenger bag on my shoulder too:


If you want to do some gambling or partying after the show send me a PM.

Well you won't see Verizon stuff posted on this site. I am sure you can find Verizon stuff if
you look around though.

Mitsubishi Laservue stuff is do-able though. It would help me out if you mentioned the name
of the company next time instead of the name of their tech. I had to go look it up.

Will I know the future when I see it or will it introduce itself to me?

pictures of the new pana NeoPDP hdtv would be nice, I'm really curious of it.
May I ask why LG is on top of your list?

[diggumsmax]

I would also like to hear any info you can find about Xstreme HD if possible. They are supposed to have a booth at CES this year but after hearing little from the company since last years CES one has to wonder where this company is going.

They have several super thin HDTVs, Netflix streaming sets wireless HD, and other rad stuff.
