LAS VEGAS The
2011 edition of the Consumer Electronics Show seemed to have one collective obsession:
tablets. From manufacturers unveiling the latest touch-screen…
Motorola, Toshiba, HTC and other tech giants are using this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas to debut their latest and greatest products. In what should prove a surprise to exactly nobody, many of those products are smartphones and tablets. While every company is offering something different with regard to software and hardware, some trends are definitely emerging: Many of the upcoming tablets, including the Motorola Xoom and Toshiba’s tablet, embrace Android 3.0. With regard to smartphones, manufacturers definitely have their eye on 4G networks.
If last year’s CES was all about e-readers for many companies, this one is all about tablets. Companies such as Research In Motion (with its PlayBook) hope to make a dent in the increasingly crowded space. Other tech stalwarts, though, seem more concerned with offering the latest devices in entirely different product lines, including connected TVs and in-car IT systems. In any case, the sheer number of new devices poised to enter the market suggests that 2011 will be a very big year for tech. – …
LAS VEGAS& With more than 10 million Galaxy S handsets sold, Samsung may be the worldwide leader in Android smartphones. But Motorola easily dusted Samsung in the presentation category at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show here this week. The phone maker, which has put all its chips on the Android table, became a tablet maker with the Motorola Xoom dual-core device, slated for launch in February. The Xoom sports Android 3.0 with several 3-D capabilities baked into the UI. Motorola also unveiled two high-end smartphones running on the top two U.S. carriers’ networks: the Atrix 4G on AT&T and the Droid Bionic for Verizon Wireless. After their initial launch Jan. 5, eWEEK tracked down all of the gadgets on the show floor. The devices were tethered, so it was hard to judge their weight and feel, but the processing speed was definitely impressive running YouTube and other applications. We took a few pictures here for good measure, and also noted a Toshiba Android tablet that no one is allowed to touch. We have more details on that below. – …

For cost-conscious companies in an increasingly mobile world, it often can be difficult to find a notebook computer that is easily portable, powerful enough to replace a desktop PC, and offers the kind of battery life that allows road warriors and off-site employees the freedom they need.

Samsung, Hewlett-Packard, Asus, Lenovo, Acer and other top PC manufacturers are gearing up for a busy fall, between consumers’ back-to-school tech refresh and businesses beginning to spend again on IT infrastructure. On the consumer side of the equation, manufacturers are hoping that consumers will gravitate toward laptops and desktops with 3D and top-quality audio.

All these manufacturers used a recent New York City event to show off their current PCs. Among the more unique devices on display: HP’s laptop hardware designed to minimize heat, by placing key components under the keyboard and installing larger side-vents; the uniquely curved design of Samsung’s NF210; and Asus’ Eee PC Lamborghini VX6.
