Digital Savant Podcast #4: CEA’s Jim Barry
On this week’s Digital Savant Podcast (#4), we speak with Jim Barry, spokesperson and “Digital Answer Man” for the Consumer Electronics Association, who was kind enough to stop by the American-Statesman on his national tour and speak to us.
Barry has been in the electronics trade publishing industry for more than 30 years and is a frequent answerer of the question, “What should I get my dad for Father’s Day?” in his numerous media appearances.
In this podcast, we discuss this week’s announcements from Apple, Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony and get special peek inside Jim Barry’s totebag of digital goodies, including tablets, a portable speaker, e-book readers and more.
