Despite the relaxation (mostly liquid!) at the CES Unveiled event and jetlag, we managed to stay awake! We followed up with a meeting in the Westgate with Victor Matsuda of Sony. … Read more
The last dedicated press event of CES is Showstoppers. It is, in fact, the original event, with a format which CES Unveiled and Pepcom follow. However, it is slightly smaller than either, with seating areas and more chances to talk to companies. E Ink was showing a very interesting flexible display prototype: the Wove Band, … Read more
