CES 2012 in pictures: our 33 favorite concepts, booths and views from the show
As you read this, the DVICE crew has spread out onto trains, planes and automobiles for our ports of call. Here we say farewell to the nights huddling in hotel hallway corners hunting down the barest Wi-Fi signal, eating only once a day and digging up the craziest and most impressive concepts we physically could.
We'll have more thoughts on the show soon — and probably a few more concepts that are hiding out in the depths of our hard drives — but for now here's this sweet gallery while my in-flight Wi-Fi is behaving.
Posted on location at CES 2012 in Las Vegas. All photos for DVICE by Kevin Hall, Evan Ackerman and Raymond Wong as indicated.

UrbanGreen 600kW residential turbine you can put on your roof. Billed as quiet and vibration free. (It was pretty terrifying to walk by as they just had it spinning super fast, blades and all. It's like walking next to a giant, open blender.) Photo by Evan Ackerman
