Tablets are the Talk at CES 2011

January 6th, 2011 by Erin Posted in Technology | No Comments »

I’m not going to pretend I’m at CES 2011 in Las Vegas. Nope. Instead of reporting from the exhibit floor, I’m reading and writing about it from the comforts of my home office.

That said though, I’m quite envious of the people who are there. It’s the ‘World’s Biggest Tech Show’ and the buzz that is circulating through CES and beyond is almost deafening.

Tablets  - LOTS of them – are expected to be the big show-and-tell feature. Since Apple is not there, the other guys get their due. Other guys like – Acer, Archos, Creative, Dell, Entourage, Fusion Garage, LG, Motorola, MSI, Notion Ink, Samsung, Toshiba, and ViewSonic. These are all players, which CNET predicts will unveil their Android tablets – the newest crop.

Of course, a lot of serious eyes will be watching Lenovo’s IdeaPad U1 Hybrid – a laptop by day, a tablet by night. LOVE the concept. Hate the name.

The IdeaPad U1 made its debut at CES last year with a lot of fanfare. But it was never released and thus put on the back burner for much of 2010. Let the resurrection begin!

In case you’re not familiar with the IdeaPad and its pure awesomeness, Engadget gives it this powerful description:

“When the screen is locked into its upright position in the laptop’s chassis, it’s powered by a CULV Intel Core 2 Duo processor and runs Windows 7 Home Premium. But when the screen is pulled from its shell it morphs into a Qualcomm Snapdragon powered-multitouch slate with a 16GB SSD that boots Lenovo’s customized Skylight Linux interface. Two processors and two operating systems? Hybrid is right.”

And, by the way, when the IdeaPad is in its tablet form, the system then become LePad. No joke.

Two other tablets worth noting come from ASUS. They include physical keyboards.The Android-based Eee Pad Slider and Transformer both feature QWERTY keyboards and Tegra-2 processors. The Slider has a unique design with a fold-out keyboard. Innnnnnteresting.

Yes, CES will indeed live up to its pseudo-name again this year – that being the World Cup of Technology. The geeks are going crazy. And, if I was there – I would be too.

Unfortunately though, we’ll have to wait to see how consumers react to all of these new products in the year to come. Boom or bust?
