Good morning again from CES. I was able to get some cleaner video of the booth this morning. This time I take you to the next level, so to speak. Back in a bit.

Here are a few shots of the booth:

Here’s just a simple product shot. I finally managed to get one where no one was touching the devices. And I know exactly what you’re thinking…yes, we keep lots of Purell handy.

Here’s a quick look at the TomTom booth here at the Las Vegas Convention Center North Hall (Booth 6006). Apologies for the low quality, I’m running quite the guerrilla operation here.

This is, admittedly, my first CES and I’m pretty awed by the whole thing. I mean, this is the best of the best in consumer electronics. Every big and small name is here and they are all showing off their very best. What’s been really fun for me has been talking to the small electronics companies. Last night, I ran into three guys who just started their own software company and are exhibiting for the first time here. You could almost see the Bill Gates-dreams in their eyes.

Las Vegas is a sight to behold as well. You fly over hundreds of miles of mountainous terrain then, just out of nowhere, huge city with what looks like enough lights to brighten the country, densely compacted into a few hundred square miles.

Anyway, I’ll have my second impressions at the end of today (8PM EST). You might have read that we already won some awards here (I know, didn’t this thing just start?). I’ll have an update on that as well.
