ya, those are looking great!    man... this is just the start of the goodness!


and i changed the thread title a tad, because we have a CES 2011 board for the video game area as well... this will differentiate the two.

9:16AM Motorola’s Sanjay Jha just announced the Motorola Atrix 4G the World’s Most Powerful Smartphone
1GB of Ram, 2x faster than competing web browsers
1930 mah battery
Very Powerful device


A smartphone that turns into a laptop. I am confused!
Also, BGR are reporting a 4G iPhone in 2012. :D

I wonder what the price will be on that Android/Windows laptop? That looks sweet....running a full version of Windows 7 and not Windows Starter I say is pretty good
Someone told me I'm weird, yet again they hunt defenseless animals as a hobby.

According to TechRadar it will be around $520 which is a steal if true!

Holy shit! The next Windows release will run on SoC Arm based processors!

LAS VEGAS —Jan. 5, 2011 —Microsoft Corp. today announced at 2011 International CES that the next version of Windows will support System on a Chip (SoC) architectures, including ARM-based systems from partners NVIDIA Corp., Qualcomm Inc. and Texas Instruments Inc. On the x86 architecture, Intel Corporation and AMD continue their work on low-power SoC designs that fully support Windows, including support for native x86 applications. SoC architectures will fuel significant innovation across the hardware spectrum when coupled with the depth and breadth of the Windows platform.
