It’s the end of a very long day and I’m sitting in my hotel room, unwinding after a blitz of press events that lasted from 8:00 am until 6:00 pm. Despite my near-constant series of complaints about the behavior of some of the journalists here, I’ve actually had a really good day. I skipped press day during CES 2009 and 2010, concentrating instead on the show floor. But you get a good overview of what a company is all about through their press conferences. There were some big press events I couldn’t make, including conferences and keynotes by Samsung, Intel and Microsoft. I’m catching up by reading blog posts and press releases. But the two events that rounded out my first full day at CES 2011 pulled out the stops. The two companies were Panasonic and Sony.
