I spent the last week at CES talking about ShopSavvy and checking out all of the cool new gadgets our users will be scanning.  We demo’ed our two new ShopSavvy features including QR Code scanning support and Augmented Reality product and retailer search (we call it ‘product radar’).  Everyone thought the augmented reality feature was cool, but I was really surprised by the number of meaningful conversations focused around QR Codes.  Publishers, retailers and manufacturers all wanted to talk about how we could help them leverage QR Codes.

While at the event I carried my Nexus One and almost everyone had to check it out.  Hanging out at the LG Booth I was uber-impressed by the 6.9mm thick (or thin) LED television (picture below), but the LG rep just wanted to play with the active wallpaper on my phone.  Of course, this was just part of the story.  The biggest ‘buzz’ after you tried out four or five of the 3D televisions was all about Android.  Scott Fulton wrote about the ‘android buzz’ suggesting, “Android has emerged from CES 2010 as the software platform story of the year.“  Android was at the heart of so many of the coolest new gadgets I lost count.  Some of the more exciting Android-based gadgets included Motorola’s Backflip and the Alex e-reader.  The Android-based gadgets spanned segments including automotive, home theater and games.  Android was the ‘Intel inside’ of LOTS of devices.
