CES 2016 Wrap-Up,
Part 1
CES 2016 is now history
and most of us are home,
or at our next port-of-call.
I have seen various atten-

CES 2016: Press Day,
Showstoppers and
LaunchIt Event
Tuesday, January 5 was
press day at CES 2016.
Some of the larg-
est press conferences
are held on press day.
Many of them are one-
or two-hour advertise-
ments with a number of new product announce-
ments inserted, and some do provide a great deal
of market data and trends. The bigger "pressers,"
such as the Samsung event, fill multiple auditori-
um-sized rooms as well as overflow rooms.
