At the CES Press preview on Nov 9th, we got preview to some interesting market analysis data presented by CEA CFA ,Chief Economist and Director of Research Shawn Dubravac & Director of Industry Analysis Steve Koenig. Which gives some good in-site into how the Tech industry is fairing overall during this economic down turn, what market items are favourable this holiday season and what market trends to look for in 2011 and beyond. What’s interesting to note is some of our own personal predictions here at Booredatwork, ( thanks to our own great in-depth market research, Smile) have been confirmed by some hard data given by the CEA.
