CEDIA Expo is not just for exploring new technologies and enlightening CE Pros.

It’s also a great place for doing your own virtual shopping – virtual as in, “If I had the money, I would buy ….” Virtual shopping also applies to products that are not yet available, and ones that are inexpensive enough, but you couldn’t be bothered to install them.

After CEDIA Expo 2009, I came away with a nice shopping list for my own home—some items I’ve coveted for years; others that are brand spankin’ new.

Check them out in the slideshow.
