01/08/99: Well, today was the typical tiring first day at CES! Today we hit LVCC and the Hilton. These locations are mostly home audio so most of the pictures below are on Home A/V.
I covered a lot today, so I didn't get to spend near as much time as I wanted talking to Vendors/Manufacturers (frown).
A few things I can share that I remember:

The Pioneer Elite Pro 700 is a pretty nice 64" HDTV (as if you couldn't guess!). It does all HDTV format (ie: 480p/720p/1080i/etc).
The Toshiba 7108 will not be coming out as planned (sigh). They will however be coming out with a 9000 model sometime by Spring (hopefully!). It will be their new high-end DVD player with all the features we expected from the 7108, etc. It will be about $1000. Also... they plan on releasing the 7108 by Summer. It will be about $800 or so, and will fit in just under the 9000 model.
Enjoy the pics!
