I’m headed to CES in Las Vegas this week. CES is the BIGGEST consumer electronics show of the year. It’s where the best of the best come to show-off their latest and greatest tech achievements.

Last year, we experienced the rise of Blu-Ray, the loss of HD-DVD, and the introduction of slim TVs from Sony, large TVs from Panasonic, and a plethora of wire-free products.

What’s going to be the must-have items this year? Right now, I’m looking forward to more of the “Look Ma, No Wires!” that we expect to see with all kinds of devices. Plus, after the launch of the iPhone, I’m looking forward to seeing what companies have incorporated the 3G network capability into their products.  Also, I can’t wait to see what goodies have caught on to the whole touch-screen fad.  My favorite, of course, is the latest in iPod accessories.

I’ll update from the show room floor.  Wish me luck!

In my last post, you got to watch the interview I had with Jack Sheng, a remarkable eBay seller who reached a milestone of one million positive Feedback. Now, I want to show you some of the interesting items his company Eforcity sells.

Check out my new favorite pink pal, Bei Bei. This small baby pink toy instantly becomes an FM radio once plugged into your USB port. Its squiggly tail controls the volume and her ears control the stations. She also comes with an audio jack, so you can use her as a speaker for your iPod. Check out the video of me opening her up!

To see all the electronic accessories you could ever want, check out Jack’s eBay store.

Imagine what it would feel like to receive over one million positive Feedback ratings on eBay. Now, imagine you’ve reached this milestone four times over.

Last week, I was lucky enough to interview a man who has done both - Jack Sheng, co-founder of Eforcity, a successful eBay store specializing in consumer electronic accessories. In total, Sheng has four eBay IDs, which have all reached the one million Feedback milestone.

Personally, as an eBay user and electronics guru, talking to Jack was extremely insightful. Listening to him describe his path to success demonstrated how his hard work, determination, and faith in eBay have transformed a home-based business into a facility that ships over 30,000 units out the door each day. Pretty amazing!
