I know a few of the electronics buyers from some the largest retailers, and they are really looking forward to this CES. I`ve asked another buyer this morning, but all I ever hear is the new products that have leeked to the big guys are exciting, nothing specific since CE buyers are not known for their silence.

In no way do I want to imply EDIG has involvment, but the next G toys for big boys category is most certainly heating up again. It is rare for these buyers to get excited about anything as that doesn`t help them negotiate.

I know several from this board will also be in Vegas. Maybe we will get glimpse of these new products I`m told are ``coming.`` Of course, there is always the infamous vaporware to take this story down a notch. We`ll know something by the end of the first week of Jan. However, we may not KNOW if EDIG is involved....but why would they be hiring the type of engineers (http://www.edig.com/careers.php) listed if they were not planning on additional hardware platforms and devices? (EL? doni?)
