CES: On the Bloghaus Bus to Las Vegas
I’m in Las Vegas for CES for most of this week. Here is a flavor of what it was like to be on the Podtech Bloghaus bus along with top bloggers such as Dan Farber, Robert Scoble, Luic Le Meur, Jeremy Toeman, Robert McLaws, plus Valerie Cunningham and many more.
You’ll see a demo of a Samsung ultramobile device and Scott from AMD shows a one laptop per child. Mogulus.com and Podtech.net are streaming this and other CES events live.
Plus Marc Canter bursts into song!

Dan Farber is blogging about CES and tells us what to expect this week from 2,900 companies crammed into 1.8m square feet of exhibitions:
In addition to Gates, high profile speakers includes Toshihiro Sakamoto, president of Panasonic AVC Networks; Intel CEO Paul Otellini; Comcast CEO Brian Roberts; Rick Wagoner, CEO of General Motors; Yahoo CEO and co-founder Jerry Yang; FCC Chairman Kevin Martin; Nicholas Negroponte of One Laptop per Child (the $188 XO laptop); and Gary Shapiro, CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association.
The usual array of celebrities will make brief appearances shilling for sponsors, including Danica Patrick, Michael Douglas, Kevin Costner (playing in a rock band) and Boston Red Sox star David Ortiz. Yoko Ono will be at the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus for an hour. Monster Cable is hosting a concert with Mary J. Blige, Sheila E. and Prince, the “solo artist.”
