The show which announces over 20,000 new products each year is a great chance for parents to learn about new technologies, new tools and new tactics for being better parents.

It was a busy, busy first day on the show floor at CES, and the $100 challenge saw over 25 competitors step up against Windows Phone.  The result?  A pretty impressive record of:

This week the world of technology is on full display in Vegas. Situated just off the strip at the Las Vegas Convention Center are the latest, coolest and most interesting electronics gadgets currently on and about to enter the market.
