In past years, it was almost impossible to fly in to McCarran International Airport without landing in the middle of a Consumer Electronics Show (CES) marketing fest. When I arrived Tuesday even the diminished consumer electronics efforts from last year were AWOL, reflecting a show that is still huge but smaller in scale and attendance as companies cut back on costs.

Our own editorial presence has increased, though, to match the growing importance of digital media and entertainment content as it becomes even more entwined with the hardware: Tricia Duryee, our principle correspondent for mocoNews.net will be at CES Mobile Entertainment Wednesday and covering mobile activity across the show through Friday; Tameka Kee, our West Coast correspondent, will be at the Reinventing Advertising and Game Power conferences Wednesday and Thursday; and I’ll be all over the place, including Billboard Digital Music Wednesday (Twitter: sdkstl). For those of you who are in Las Vegas this week, please be sure to say hi (and, of course, feel free to share news). Leave us a note here about what you’re seeing, hearing, disappointed in, wowed by. For those who didn’t make the trip, do you think you’re missing out on anything but the long line at Nathan’s for lunch?
