CES 2011: Motorola Xoom tablet crowned best gadget
 |
| Motorola Mobility, Inc. |
Motorola Mobility's Xoom tablet computer powered by
new "Honeycomb" software from Google was crowned the best gadget at the
giant Consumer Electronics Show (CES) on Saturday.
Along with being declared the top creation at the
dazzling gadget extravaganza, Xoom was also honored as the best of the
scores of tablets introduced here as fresh competitors in a market
dominated by Apple iPads.
Motorola also scored a
victory with its Atrix smartphone designed to work with high-speed 4G
wireless networks and which can be used in a dock to power a laptop.
Atrix won the top spot in a smartphone category at the official Best of CES awards.
"We
took big risks and they paid off," said Motorola Mobility chief
software engineer Seang Chau. "We didn't know if people would get it;
but obviously they got it."
US telecom maker
Motorola Mobility jumped into the bustling tablet computer market
Wednesday when chief executive Sanjay Jha unveiled Xoom at CES.
Motorola Mobility's hotly awaited tablet computer, the "Xoom," will be available in the first quarter of the year, Jha said.
With
a 10.1-inch (25.6-centimeter) screen, the Xoom is about the same size
as Apple's iPad, which hit stores in April and has other leading
technology companies around the world scrambling to catch up.
Xoom
will be a fierce competitor in the marketplace because Google built
Honeycomb software specifically to power tablet computers, according to
Jha.
"This is really the next generation of
tablets," Motorola Mobility device team head Alain Mutricy said as he
held a Xoom in one hand at the awards ceremony.
"Our partnership with Google has been very intense and has enabled some great technology."
The
CES accolades came just four days after Illinois-based Motorola split
into two companies, Motorola Mobility and Motorola Solutions.
Motorola
Mobility will focus on mobility, the Internet and computing markets
while Motorola Solutions will target next-generation communications
solutions to government, public safety and enterprise customers.
"This has been a great week for us," Mutricy said of Motorola Mobility. "It is a good beginning."
The official CES awards were sponsored by tech news website Cnet, which had editors pick the winners.
Japan-based
Wii console maker Nintendo took top honors in a gaming category with a
version of a DS videogame handset that allows 3D play without the need
for special glasses.
CES 2011: WinPad 100A from MSI
(MSI's WinPad 100A is still prototypical, and its design will likely change before release).
LAS VEGAS--MSI was fairly coy about sending out pics of its Android-based
tablet, the WinPad 100A. Luckily, the device was on display at the company's
CES booth.
The WinPad 100A has a 10.1-inch capacitive touch screen and runs on
Android 2.3. It wasn't clear whether the device will be upgradable to
Honeycomb when the new OS launches, however.
Other specs and details include an ARM processor, a USB port,
Mini-USB, HDMI, an SD card reader, a front-facing camera on the
upper-left side, and a headphone jack.
Additionally, the device includes a G-Sensor gravity-detecting device, a
GPS locator, an ambient light sensor, and Wi-Fi with a 3G option
available.
The WinPad 100A weighs in at 1.6 pounds and is approximately half an
inch thick at its thinnest point. MSI claims the 100A can run for 8 to
10 hours on a single battery charge.
The tablet is expected to be released around July for an estimated price of $500.

CES 2011: Embedded projector part of Android device
You can almost beam yourself up to wherever you want to go
with MicroVision's prototype of an embedded projector in an
Android-based device. The company showed the device — which looks like a
smart phone and has a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen — at the Consumer
Electronics Show in Las Vegas. (They call it a "mini-tablet.")
"The
PicoP display engine ... does not require projection lenses, focus
wheels or complex optics and it dissipates less heat, yielding an
extremely small form factor," the Redmond-based company said in a
release.
Carrying a big screen in your pocket is part of
MicroVision's vision. It also showed the ShowWX+, a smart phone-sized
laser pico projector that was made for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad
and can connect to the devices and display video or images — from
Netflix movies, home movies and photos, as well as from games — from a
distance of 6 to 100 inches away.
It also can be connected to
other devices, from DVD players to game consoles, but its real charm is
in its portability. (It also works with Nokia's N-series of phones, as
well as Apple's line of mobile devices.) It retails for $399.
