Kodak video camera model name
Through crowdsourcing, a technique utilizing mass collaboration to achieve a business objective, Kodak received thousands of naming suggestions via Twitter and its 1000 Words blog, for the new video camera. Two winning entries were chosen: Mike Colbourn of Williston, Vermont, entered the name ‘Play’, and Jim Culver of La Mesa, California, entered ‘Sport’. Mike and Jim won a trip to Las Vegas and the 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show to join Kodak in announcing the new name.

The Consumer Electronics Show, better known as CES, has been held annually for over 40 years now. The first CES took place in New York City in 1967 featuring 200 exhibitors and 17,500 visitors. Since that time, the total show has increased by a factor 10. This year's CES show will again take place in Las Vegas, as usual, where visitors are welcomed from January 7 to January 10. The CES event appears to become more important every year. It is the first major world event where more than 2,200 CEA (Consumer Electronics Association) members are able to display their involvement in relation to development, manufacturing, distribution and integration of consumer electronic products such as audio, photo, video, mobile communication, and accessories. The CES 2010 starts off a brand-new year, offering a peek of what we can expect in the upcoming season regarding new products and services.
