While I would classify my time in Vegas for the 2010 CES show as a resounding enjoyment, many smaller vendors whom were unable to display product on the show floor or took to a hotel suite for an additional (less expensive outlet) may see it a different way.

Audio Technica expands their audio palette.

Headphones may seem like a dime a dozen. In reality, the field is quite like that. Though a few rare gems do stand out here and there.

Star Wars-like holograms: HoloAD by Innovation Labs

*Mobile Post* Think Star Wars-like holographic images are still years off from the hands of mere mortals? Well, to be fair, the examples at CES are more geared towards commercial uses. Even still, you can’t beat the coolness. The 180 degree viewing angle and plug-n-play functionality mean you don’t have to be a rocket scientist or programmer to get unique and captivating holographic images. In case you were wondering, the seemingly futuristic HoloAD displays...
