Day 2 was all about mobility for me. I wanted to play with all the new gadgets, and accessories for them. Boy, did I get to.

(NOTE: Pictures will go up once I am home. )

I stopped by the Dell booth to get hands on with their tablet. I am unsure what need it really fills, but it looks cool, and was fairly snappy. Intel also had a ton of tablets, most running Windows 7 or XP, unlike the Dell, which was rocking Android.

One segment that I am really interested in are the small, inexpensive, handheld video cameras. For a while, it was all up to PureDigital’s Flip line. However, there are two new entries to the market that look like they might get some share.

Sony has their Bloggy camera, which I fell in love with from the outset. It has a rotating lens, and takes VERY nice HD video (DISCLAIMER: I got to play with one at It Wont Stay In Vegas, a party that I was invited to as press-more on the party later). They have another Bloggy offering that has 5x zoom, and a slightly more conventional form factor.

Kodak also has a new small form factor camera, yet theirs is waterproof, which will make its own niche. I didnt get to play with it all that long, but it looks like I may be getting one sent to me.

Another segment that I took special interest in were cases. As a student, web geek, blogger, and someone who loves to travel, I am VERY hard on my gear. The main gadgets I was looking to protect are my MacBook and my Blackberry Storm.

I first stopped at Otterbox, and played with some of their different lines. Some of them offer WAY more protection then I would ever need, yet their Commuter line looks like it might work out well. I will have a review of it once my review unit comes in.

The second company that I visited for this was Speck. They were on my list to visit, and when I saw they had free beer, they got bumped up quite a bit higher. They are sending me a case for my Macbook, and gave me one for my storm, which I have been using, and will post a review in the near future.

I played with a lot of phones, none of which really stood out-CES has never really been about phones. They only major phone announcement was Palm’s announcement that the Pixi and Pre were coming to Verizon.

Most of the things going on in mobility were evolutionary, not revolutionary, and therefore not all that cool to blog about right this second.
