Consumer Electronics Show 2012 Preview: 16 Hot Gadgets

As reported in NetworkWorld here's a sneak peek at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show's array of gadgets, from dream cameras to clever iPhone cases--and even a cycling computer that promises you a beach-ready body.

With more than 2,700 exhibitors filling more than 3.2 million square feet of space in the Las Vegas Convention Center, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) has evolved into a Disneyland-like spectacle. There's no way to see everything--from refrigerators with Internet-enabled egg-trays to smartphones to Justin Bieber (yes, he'll be there)--in the short week that the show comes to town. This is especially true given how quickly the streets, cabs, and buses are overwhelmed by the tens of thousands of people who descend on Sin City for a bit of a boondoggle and a glimpse at the latest consumer technology. Harking back to the days of Comdex, the CES is so big that it now spills over into the convention center's neighboring hotels.
