I’m not sure if Lenovo is showing their IdeaPad U1 Hybred tablet yet, but if can you check their booth I would be very happy.
btw the U1 has a resistive multitouchscreen, info about who makes them is also very appreciated.

I’m jealous!
I’d personally like to see what sort of advances in OLED displays there have been – specifically are there any companies selling hacker friendly OLED modules which can be easily used with low-end microcontrollers – I’m thinking the ones with built in display processors like 4DSystems GOLDELOX, where all you need do is send it the drawing instruction, eg draw a line/circle/text etc over serial.
I’m hoping to see maybe 8inch or bigger OLED modules nowadays with far more advanced on board driving processors, eg. faster, more powerful features, easier to use, etc. etc. etc.
I always thought the 4D Systems ones were a bit finnicky and under-developed myself.
Thanks!

I would like to see more of the Popbox at the Syabas booth.

I’m pretty sure that the nexus 1 (n1) was released at the Google campus and not at CES

Not sure if they count as hacks, but there are lots of very cool outdoor tech displays all over the place vying for viewer attention. Know anyone who develops these things?

I would like to see some coverage on Vuzix. They possibly will be showing a new HMD (the vr1440).

Please report about the coolest and the most hackable e-reader you find. That is, one in which you get an access to its Linux shell, or one that is is easily rooted so, that one can replace the original firmware with something like

If iRex’s upcoming DR800SG reader will be demoed there, please ask whether one can obtain a shell access to it (e.g. for porting third party applications), like in the previous iLiad readers from iRex.

I’m watching for for an E-Reader that will run other serious programs as well as whatever slimmer-than-thou widget the Apple Zombies will line up to buy-and-be-cool-with next. Also watching Microsoft defend its hegemony (“it’s a good product because we say so”) a la GM’s denouement should be interesting…

@charliex I am in vegas as well. Is there any online community here? I was googling for a hackerspace here and all I found was Pololu, I have yet to pay them a visit though.

Sounds really weird, but id like to see what hardware is driving the actual display stands. Like, if there is some moving sign, or some sort of revolving display case, or something that has bells and whistles, some sort of info on that would be interesting to see how the “big companies” go about hacking together a display case.
I suspect there could be a few surprises in store in some of them. Ive seen some which are down right scary. Just an idea,, But for some reason, i ALWAYS look at that sort of stuff. Even cable management of the LCDs which hang around the place.. Things like that.

I would like to hear about multiplex devices. A camera with GPS, Ranger Finder, etc. Don’t know if anyone has built such a thing, but it would provide great hacking potential. A ‘Swiss Army knife’ sensor set.

you could always come by and stop at my house to say hello. i am a big fan of this site and try to read the interesting stuff everyday. i wanted to go to the CES but unfortunately i have to work. so if you want i would like to meet you guys.

Any info you can get about the Samsung S5PV210 (or S5PC110 ) ARM stuff would be welcome. If anyone is making a ref or dev board for those things and so.

@tom, nothing really active I know of, a couple of us defconer’s have kicked the idea around but nothing more than that.

The Pololu robotics link to the LV robotics club looks like its dried up.
