from companies that have announced new products we think you'll find interesting. The show itself runs from March 2nd - 5th, 2009 but
many new products have already been pre-announced with many more announcements to come in the next couple of weeks.

as well as from learning about the latest technology by visiting more than 600 exhibitors on the more than 12-acre trade show floor.
