Is CES "Inside baseball", over covered, or of general interest?

As a fan of tech podcasts.. the tips, tricks, how-to's (and if Tekzilla doesnt have an answer they will find someone who does), and gear... is it that companies think "If we arent there to cover the same crap we've been hearing about for the last 3 years, we arent equal to the other 5 dozen podcasts/sites doing the same thing"?
OK... let me guess... there will be the flexible screen technology (once again which we wont see for afew years), 3D HDtv stuff, some 8 chip (better than 4 chip) DSLRs (which wont become consumer for years), will someone have a 180 lcd vs the 120s?

We dont need wall to wall coverage (unless you are in the industry). Plz get back to "Tech for the User" instead of the "Tech for the Futures Investor"

What might be available 3 years out (but at a multi-tens of thousands of $) isnt of interest to me or maybe a majority of viewers. Who here is all that interested in buying a $25K projection tv unit?

I enjoy the coverage of the CES Rev3 provides. I don't see it as the 'Tech for Future Investors'. There's tech from CES already out there to tech of the future. I think Tekzilla has done a wonderful job of showing that, definitely Rev3 as a whole. I don't see it solely as high priced tech that the average person can't afford. I see it as a learning experience of the advances of technology that make things easier in our lives. If it wasn't for Tekzilla and other shows that share their CES experience, we would be ignorant of the new technologies that may make our lives easier and safer. Learning about these new product has an impact on your buying today, depending on your needs & of course the availability. I really don't see the wall to wall coverage considering how big CES is. I was hoping for a Rev3 show to cover the augmented reality windshield that Mercedes has at the CES.
