The 2010 Consumer Electronics Show was all about connectivity and practicality. Unlike shows in the past; the products introduced at this year’s show were more about consumer solutions and less about “pie-in-the-sky” technology that will be financially unreachable when and if it ever gets to the consumer marketplace. (NOTE: Most of these products will be available by April of 2010)
