WSJ: 40% of company-nominated products received CES innovation awards
The Wall Street Journal blog is reporting that out of the approximate 1000 products companies have nominated for awards, almost 400 won one. That gives you about a 40% chance of winning an award just for being at CES. This explains the plethora of awards both Satellite companies ‘win’ at CES every year. While there are some that can be justified, such as the Sirius Conductor or the XM Delphi Skyfi 3, others seem out of place, such as the XM Mini-Tuner, or the Sirius Connect, both of which were released and had working models at CES in 2006.
Remember when you want to purchase electronics later this year, that the CES innovation award does not necessarily mean it is leading edge.
