CE Week in NYC With Techlicious #TechliciousCE #CEWeek

This is a sponsored post.

Back in June, I headed up to New York City with Leticia Barr for some Techlicious fun. CE Week was in NYC and we went to see the latest in technology and attend a Techlicious sponsored lunch.

We heard from the sponsors.

LG and 4K TVs

Interesting stats from LG:

• 34% of U.S. broadband households have a smart TV, which has increased 31% since last year — Parks Associates
• 80% of flat panel TVs will be smart-enabled by the end of 2015 — Parks Associates
• 12.7 million UHD 4K TVs are expected in 2014 vs. 1.9 million in 2013 – NPD DisplaySearch

LG showed us their Ultra HD 4K TV.

Phillips and Speakers

Phillips is offering a new category of speakers called Soundbase. It is a speaker that sits below your TV and won’t interfere with your remote. TVs are getting thinner and can not accommodate many high-quality speakers.

TripIt for Travelers

Did you know that 44% of travelers use their smartphone to research travel while they are traveling (JJWire report).

I found this info really interesting. It shows the minutes that travelers did certain tasks on their smartphone or tablet while on vacation (2013 Indexed to 2012 – Prosper Insights & Analytics.)

• Checking in at an airport ahead of time — 152
• Making reservations for restaurants or attractions — 135
• Entertainment while traveling (on a plane, in the car, etc.) — 132
• Posting photos/status updates to social media — 128
• Searching for local restaurants or attractions — 126
• Entertainment while on vacation (at the beach, in a hotel, etc.) — 124
• Checking work email — 122
• GPS/Maps — 122
• Keeping in touch with those back home — 117
• Checking personal email — 111

It was a wonderful day in NYC with Leticia and Techlicious. Thank you to all the sponsors. We took a late train home and had a bit of time to explore NYC.

And this was the parting scene on the train.

Disclosure: Techlicious paid for my train trip and I received the goody bag at the lunch  All opinions are my own.
