We’ve just got back from ISE, the largest multi-media show in Europe. Some years all the talk in technology is about smaller, getting more stuff on smaller devices! This year the thing seems to be the bigger the screen the better. Plasmas and LCDs over 100″ were everywhere and when I asked the man from Panasonic why they would build a Plasma 150″ big, he answered, “because we can”, even if there appears to be no real market for it! RT had built a video presentation with live presenter for the SONY stand.
