Tweakers Asylum has posted their coverage of Comdex Fall 2001.



Before arriving at Comdex Fall 2001 in Las Vegas, I had planned on presenting daily coverage of the events and new products being released. Unfortunately things didn’t go as planned. This was Tweakers Asylum’s first trip down to Comdex so it was more of a “learning” experience than anything else. I can assure you next year we will do a much better job. Probably the biggest reason for not having daily coverage was the fact that I didn’t arrive in Las Vegas until Wednesday the 14th. Most of the websites attending Comdex had already released articles on the newest products so our information would have been somewhat stale and redundant.

As I’m sure you have probably heard, Comdex Fall 2001 wasn’t one of the best in Comdex’s history. It’s pretty bad when your taxi driver is spouting off every reason why this year’s Comdex is a total flop. At first I wasn’t sure if I should buy into what Joe “The Cab Driver” was saying, until of course he told me about driving a cab in Las Vegas for over 30 years. I would say Joe knows a good Comdex turnout when he sees one. This year’s Comdex attendance was lower than normal and from what I heard the product releases were less than exciting. While overall product releases may have been lack luster, we managed to find a few exciting products that will be making their debuts shortly.
