Comdex 2003: Picks and Pans

Dyre Straits · Nov 21, 2003, 02:59 AM

LAS VEGAS-- The big-budget, high-profile Comdex trade shows of the 1990s are clearly no more. This year's show was a much smaller, deliberately scaled-down affair. How much smaller? Consider this: No traffic cops were needed at the main intersection in front of the convention center. Or this: Parking was easily available in the convention center's main lot--for only $5.

Still, our editors hit the show floor this week, making their way through the extra-narrow aisles (we hear the organizers designed them that way to give the illusion of a crowd). The show was more business-focused than in the past, but plenty of consumer goodies could still be found. Here's a sampling of what PC World's editors have to say about Comdex 2003.
