Join innovators and award winners like Vonage, muvee, Magna Donnelly, ifrogz, h20 Audio, Home Automation Inc., Kingston, Opera, Seagate, TeleNav, D-Link and OQO, among others, at ShowStoppers @ CES 2007, where hot companies with cool products meet reporters, editors, columnists and industry analysts.
