Hayden shoots some video of a toy at CES

We started the day by visiting a new friend, Paul at his booth – the company is called Vablet and the product is EngederApps.com, the first enterprise content management system for the iPad.   They offer a cool stand for your ipad as well as software designed to make your ipad a showcase for your images or videos. They also allow you to comment on videos. So, if you are a filmmaker, you can post a scene and allow real time comments from your fans and then tweak the changes accordingly. They market to the entertainment industry as well as the health industry and financial advisors. I ran across some funny in funky jesters hats, a trick I myself have employed with clients back in the day at SuperComm in Atlanta (we used oversized straw fishing hats at the booth to remind folks about our launch event at Lulu’s Bait Shack.) Well one of the ladies handed me a pair of Telefingers gloves – which allow users to operate touch screens on iPhones and iPads, etc. Very cool. Later I saw some other brands as well. I got a pair of new ear plugs from www.listentoyourbuds.org.   They are on a mission against hearing loss. They hang around your neck and are less easy – no tangle, etc. Next I saw Jennifer at a booth with a Hello Kitty speaker hanging from her neck. I can’t find her card so if she contacts us we’ll do a video and demonstrate for you. We want to private label them for a friend’s urban lifestyle biz. At the SamSung booth, I finally met David Cohen, the Features Editor of Variety, after years of reading his articles.  I promised to hit him up when we get back to LA and tell him all about my passion project.  There at Samsung, we saw the world’s largest 3D TV (no price yet) and  I tried some of the 3D games and we got schooled on the Time Warner connectable TV’s.  They said they will be available in 2011. Bodymedia had a cool pedometer type thing that will track your movement all day as well as your sleep priced around $300.00. Two I missed from yesterday are http://Gulpfish.com for hiring and True 3D which had a 3D model that is hard to describe – but we shot a video. At launch flix, we are always losing our blue tooth headpieces so we were happy to see speaker phone units starting at $59.00 from http://SuperTooth.net that you just put in the car and forget the airpiece.  Then another company, http://Got2bwireless.com had those with texting capabilities that started closer to $200.00 but better than a ticket! Loved the EtchASketch iPhone and iPad protective cases – $39.99 for the larger case, from http://Getaheadcase.com. We hit the NetShelter party at Lavo at the Pallazo. Great old school 80’s tunes.  I met the Chipchick crew who had just gone to a tech fashion show at the Fashion Mall. Damn, how did I miss that one? All in all, a great CES.  Our cameraman will be there for the rest of the weekend, so we’ll have some videos up soon.
