Nice Pics boss man. Sorry I couldn't catch you on CNBC this afternoon.

Is this 3D TV the real deal? Every manufacturer seems to think so, especially Sony; I just don't "see" it.

That Que tablet you took a picture of is $650 dollars at the entry level, and the bigger storage version goes up to $800. Ridiculous if you can get a Kindle or a Nook for half the price. You should try and get a picture of the Skiff and the Notion Ink tablets.

Sprint has 4G in Vegas from what I remember.

Checking out the quad pixels was actually pretty cool. At first Don and I were laughing at the guys getting a close up of a 65" hdtv, but they let me try their scope out and you can definitely see the quad pixels. Must have been a filter on it as well because it didnt burn my retina out. In the side by side test, the colors really popped on the quad pixel. Biggest improvement is in yellows, of course.

The Que is extremely light and thin, it felt like holding 20 pages of paper stapled together. The UI was good, but seemed a little slow between loading new pages. They have an exclusive format so that newspaper articles look very close to what you would see in the print paper. The touchscreen seemed like it needed a little work as well, since you were supposed to be able to swipe your finger to turn to the next page, but I couldn't get it to work.

My phone works fine here but the data coverage goes in and out. I don't really think they have a solution for having 100,000+ techies in one area at once. Laptop wireless really only works in the press room, all the other access points are overloaded.

BTW that old man in one of the last pics is Stan Lee of Mavel comics, doing signings in the Marvell booth.

Boy, all those pictures made me wish that there was a slideshow button to go through them. Great pictures, Hokie! Thanks!

You mean, so you wouldn't have to press "NEXT"?

The Motion Control in Post 1 was really cool to see in person...

Exactly. The NEXT button is not always in the same location depending on the size of the picture and the orientation. It wasn't really a complaint, more of an observation.
