The CES 2009 show floor does not open until Thursday January 8th but Engadget has already managed to sneak into the halls and post some photos of booths and even some unannounced Samsung gadgets.
Exhibitors at CES are not taking the measures Apple does at Macworld to prevent early leaks from the show floor. So if you manage to sneak in without the guards seeing you, you can actually see new stuff. Besides some shots of a new Samsung Blu-ray player there are interesting photos of the latest Direct Methane Fuel Cell (DMFC) from Samsung to be seen.
The most curious is a photo of a Sharper Image booth. Yes, somebody thinks the brand is still worth something. In my opinion it is dead as a cold fish.
CES 2009 coverage will go in high gear today as the first big event is taking place with CES Unveiled. Most likely netbook vendors will already show their new line of touchscreen netbooks today. CES unveiled is taking place from 4-7pm in the evening. So there is still enough time before the Apple Macworld 2009 keynote which starts at 9am PCT to get lunch in.
