The Newest Products to Watch in 2012

The International Consumer Electronics Show for 2012 (CES 2012) is now history. And it truly proved to be “historic” in the process. Get this: Record attendance…more than 153,000 industry insiders (NOT open to the public!) Record show floor space…1.86 million square feet (that’s 37 football fields!) Record number of exhibitors…more than 3,100

You can see the official CES recap video here which is a brief teaser.

But I thought I'd give you a quick run-down on some of the products that were considered "best of CES" by CNET.  If you've ever surfed for reviews on technology then you know you've already been to their site.  So while LOTS of media will walk away with their own take on the show, CNET's list is gonna provide a pretty good take on what earned buzz.

At the top of the list is their "Best of Show"...LG's 55-inch OLED TV.  Just gorgeous!  First, it is the slimmest and lightest anywhere.  It weighs only about 16.5 lbs and measures (get this) only 4mm thick...that's just 0.16 inches!  Its little more than a sheet of plate glass.

And picture?  Engadget called it "crazy sharp" and Gizmodo said this: "OLED is no joke. Acronyms are often hype, but damn does this set look killer. The wafer-thin screen is terrifically bright, small details pop, and colors are gorgeous, making the rest of the panels on display already look like old tech." The first model ships out Q3 of 2012 so don't go hunting stores looking for it just yet.

You Have to Begin Somewhere

I have to admit that writing is not really my thing...but technology and home electronics IS.

So while some people might love to sit down and pour themselves out onto a blog, I'm not one of those. More likely, this will be a source of frustration for me. In fact for me to sit and do anything for very long is just not me. I'm too ADHD for that. Give me something to do...and I'm all over it. But don't make me sit down!!

Hmmm...maybe I can pay someone to do this for me.

Brain fart. That happens when someone's mind is going different directions all at once. Maybe that's exactly what helps me do what I do. Tell me what kind of media system, for example, you want in your home and its almost like I'm invading the problem from different directions all at one time. You might think I'm not listening to you, but I'm already processing solutions to what you were just telling me.

I've created so many electronic systems for people over the years that when they're explaining what they want, I already have a fairly clear picture of the kinds of equipment they will want to rely on.
