CES is celebtating 50 years with their 2017 show this week in Las Vegas.
The theme was the 80s tonight at the second show preview for CES, Pepcom.
There were more products and tech at this event than last night's affair at the Mandalay Bay.
Lot of cool stuff.

Lady Gaga and Polaroid. It seems like an unlikely duo to me.
Polaroid's newest creative director, pop star Lady Gaga, made an appearance at CES in Las Vegas to roll out her new line of cameras. The Gray Label line incorporates Polaroid's Zink printing technology (zero ink) into sunglasses and other picture-taking gadgets.
The unique galsses display images and video on the lenses. The data is also sent to a USB earpiece. Images (not video) can be sent to a printer via Bluetooth
And what better printer to send the images to than Polaroid's GL10, a paperback-sized mobile printing unit that can print pictures sent wirelessly from camera phones, camera sunglasses and what have you? It prints 3-inch by 4-inch photos in about 40 seconds, with or without the traditional white Polaroid frame.
The GL10 is currently compatible with all Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones with the exception of the iPhone.
Looks like the next member of the Samsung Galaxy family will be unveiled at CES next week.
The media player will be modeled after the Galaxy S smartphone, without the phone function of course, and run Android OS 2.2 Froyo. Like the later-gen iPod touch, the device will feature front- and rear-facing cameras and come in 8, 16, and 32 GB options.
The Galaxy Player is expected to include:
No price has been leaked or when it might be available for sale. Can't wait to see one at CES.
