I am bad at remembering names, so apologies to the nameless 80-year-old comedian whose joke I certainly do remember: after a long and illustrious career, he observed that the thing about getting old was that you always seem to be having breakfast. The analogy being that, as an ageing analyst, you always seem to be getting ready for CES, and if not that, then attending it or recovering from the experience. So here we are again, two months away from Las Vegas and the invitations have started to trickle in. And of course the Strategy Analytics team is always delighted to meet clients, non-clients, exhibitors and other hangers-on who have great stories to tell at the world's greatest consumer technology jamboree. To schedule appointments with our analysts, go here, and we'll do our best to fit everyone in.
