RIDGEWOOD, N.J., Jan. 7, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- The first CES was held in June, 1967 in New York City and has been one of the biggest technology trade shows since. Some notable product introductions in the past have been the camcorder and the compact disk player, and we've made serious advances since then. Last year, it was the dual formatted DVD players that support both HD and Blu-ray discs.
This year, the big hit was a new camera that can you can directly email pictures from! And everyone loved the new robotic flying gadget for the kids. At CES 2007, WowWee unveiled the FlyTech Dragonfly, which was recently named one of TIME Magazine's Best Inventions of the Year. At CES 2008, consumers were wowed when they saw the FlyTech line of indoor flyers expand -- with a diverse collection of vertical flyers that walk, talk, crawl, fly and purr!
Jessica Corbin was at the show for opening day and she's got a hot list of products for whatever you're in to.
