\"\"Our second year at CES was a big success and while you may have read other sources\u2019 accounts of the show, I thought you might (since you likely are a regular reader and interested in all things OWC) like a summary from our perspective.<\/p>\n

Now, if you\u2019ve never been to a show of this magnitude before, I\u2019ll let you in on a little secret. It\u2019s not the party some lead you to think it is! We\u2019re up early and reviewing info on all our new product introductions. Then we\u2019re on the floor for eight hours straight (we don\u2019t take lunch break – we\u2019ve got an adoring public to serve!). Then, after dinner, it\u2019s back to our “regular” work until we get the necessary three hours of sleep. ;-)<\/p>\n

So, while some perhaps party every night until dawn, you can rest assured that Team OWC doesn\u2019t lose its focus.<\/p>\n

CES itself experienced a record year\u2026 the 2012 show was the largest in the event’s 44 year history with a record number of more than 3,100 exhibitors across the largest show floor the convention has ever had \u2014 1.861 million net square feet of exhibit space. It’s a good thing that the show floor was bigger, as CES drew record attendance with 153,000 seekers of gadgets and gizmos.<\/p>\n

While we certainly enjoyed our share of media coverage last year, this year was off the charts. Of course, it helps to introduce new products at the show like the only UL Listed AC\/USB wall outlet, the largest (and still only) aftermarket SSD for MacBook Air, and the next generation of the popular miniStack external storage solution.<\/p>\n

In all, we introduced eight new products:<\/p>\n
