CES 2009, the Consumer Electronics Show is in full effect. Already, our loyal group of Trend Hunters is reporting back the hottest gadgets from the first day of the show.
My favorite post: The Star Wars-Inspired Camera.
This list clusters together the Top 19 CES 2009 gadgets… Enjoy and stay tuned for more techy innovations!
Implications - CES is one of few examples of an event that has recognized a niche demographic and capitalized off of it in the best way possible, ensuring brand loyalty as it exists in a market with little to no competition. Amongst these examples are Comic Con or the Star Trek convention, which are now staples within their respective niche demographic.
