Photos: Behind The Scenes At CES 2011

While most of the reporters here spent this day before the official launch of CES 2011 going from press conference to press conference, I managed to convince a security guard that it was perfectly okay for me to walk around taking photos of the big booths being constructed.

Alas, no huge revelations hidden among the almost-built displays. A lot of 3D TVs, more tablets than you can swallow, more WiFi-connected fridges and dishwashers… mostly just improvements on stuff that’s been kicking around for some time.

The floor opens for everyone tomorrow morning and I’ll be out there with my Consumer Reports colleagues, sending updates from the show straight to our Twitter account.
