RIM demoed Cut the Rope, Plants vs Zombies, native email and calendar/contacts, OS 2.0 etc etc on Playbook and you ignored all this, why? Don't you feel that Playbook is the only true quality contender for iPad these days? I don't understand why so much attention to lower quality Android products and not a single word about higher quality QNX/RIM/BB stuff. What's going on Anand?jureb - Saturday, January 14, 2012 - link
Great work on the coverage!I was kinda hoping you had some comments on the new laptop from Razer - Razer Blade though =(
Keep up the good work.

Wasn't LG supposed to introduce 120Hz IPS monitors? I saw the pre-show press releases but nothing from the show itself.Andre Werrlein - Thursday, April 19, 2012 - link
I can say you still presented a good coverage this year. I look forward to CES 2013. Just one suggestion for those how may be interested on having more attractive trade show booths, check www.infinityexhibits.com. These guys have very attractive, modern and affordable trade show displays.
