@ferdinanvd@... Yes, and on top of that, the way technology news is distributed has changed drastically. When CES started, magazines were how most people got their technology news. The massive costs and lead times for magazine publishing made a one-stop technology show pretty useful and cost-effective. These days, people hear about new products the day they appear. In fact, a lot of us know about them long before they appear. CES is a holdover from a time when getting the word out about your products was a lot more difficult and costly. Apple and Microsoft have the right idea. Just go straight to your customers with product introductions at the moment they're ready, rather than waiting for some arbitrary show date. I'm not even sure CES will last until 2015.
