This year, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas covered more than 30 acres of floor space. Over 2,000 companies gathered to show off the very latest in consumer technology -- thousands of products, services, gadgets and systems were on display, and hundreds of thousands of attendees came to see it all.
