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.

CES 2011: WinPad 100A from MSI
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.

AT&T cuts iPhone 3GS price to $49
You thought Apple would be absent from the news during CES (which it traditionally doesn't attend), you were wrong.
Apple
may not have any new products to show off at the moment, but the iPhone
3GS just became a lot more affordable, as AT&T cut its price to a
mere $49, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Right
now, the price tag on the 8 GB version of the iPhone 3GS is still $99,
but, starting Friday, the price will be cut in half, making the iPhone
3GS quite an attractive option for users on the lookout for an
affordable smartphone.
The new price tag, of course, also comes with a two-year service contract and data plan.
It's a logical move for AT&T, which is expected to lose iPhone exclusivity in the U.S. soon.
The phone went on sale in June 2009 for $199, but Apple cut its price to $99 last year.
AT&T
announced at CES that it plans to start offering 20 new smartphones
this year, which should reduce its dependence on Apple's smartphone.

MyFord Mobile app for smartphones from Ford
Sadly Ford isn't confirming the Focus Electric
that it saw fit to tease earlier this week, but we can now tell you all
about the new smartphone app that will let you monitor the charging
of... certain Ford vehicles. The app is called MyFord Mobile and it
offers similar features to the apps we've already seen for the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt,
notably car's charging status from afar and deliver some climate
settings to ensure that the car is properly hot or cold before you leave
on your cold or hot commute. The car will also let you find the car by
GPS and, once you do, unlock the doors with your phone.
When the car and the app launches there will be versions for Android, BlackBerry, and iOS, though interestingly there will be a an HTML-5 browser interface that'll even work on featurephones. Yes, featurephones. Interestingly, the app can automatically charge... whatever mystery vehicle you connect it to at the optimal time of the night to ensure you get the lowest cost for your juice, automatically pulling down rates from your utility so that you don't have to worry about it. That is what we like to call smart. And thrifty.
Again the app will be available with a certain car that has a plug whenever that certain car is available, and if you want to know when that is going to happen you're going to have to wait.
Update: Yes, that's a WP7 phone up there, a Samsung Focus to be exact. No, the app is not announced for Windows Phone 7. Conclusion? Cloudy. We'll have a little more clarification for you later today and you're just going to have to wait. Plenty of time to sharpen up those conspiracy theories.

Toshiba launches Tegra 2 Powered Android Tablet to challenge iPad
Toshiba is hoping to lure consumers to its new tablet computer by
including a screen that is slightly larger than the iPad and offering a
version of Google's Android mobile operating software geared toward such
devices.
Tentatively called the Toshiba Tablet, the device will include a touchscreen that measures 10.1 inches diagonally — compared with 9.7 inches on Apple's iPad. Toshiba's device will also have the forthcoming version of Android, called Honeycomb.
It will be more optimised for tablets than current, smartphone-focused versions of Android, by letting applications adjust to take advantage of the tablet's larger screen.
The Japanese computer and flat-screen TV maker is set to unveil the tablet at the annual International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. It won't be the only one: A handful of tablets were released in 2010, but many more are expected to be shown off at CES and hit store shelves later this year.
Since Apple unveiled its iPad last January, consumers have been clamoring for the sleek computing device, and manufacturers have started churning out competing products in an effort to capitalise on the iPad's popularity.
Toshiba's Tablet won't be the company's first, nor its first Android tablet, but it will be the first time Toshiba is releasing such a product in the US.
Toshiba expects to roll out the tablet by the end of June. A price has not yet been set, but the company believes it will be competitive with the iPad, which costs $629 to $1049, depending on its memory capacity and wireless capabilities.
Showing off a nonworking prototype of the tablet in December, Phil Osako, Toshiba's director of product marketing, said the device will be the first in a family of tablets the company plans to release. That device has a black, glossy face and rubberised back.

The Tablet's screen will be able to show high-definition videos in 1080p resolution, the highest offered on current TVs, and it includes an HDMI port to connect it to a high-definition television. It will also play Flash videos — something Samsung Electronics's Galaxy Tab can do as well, but the iPad cannot.
Although details of Honeycomb have not yet been announced by Google, Google's mobile head, Andy Rubin, said at a December conference that Honeycomb will enable applications to have multiple views and present information differently depending on whether they're running on a phone or a tablet.
The Tablet will have an Nvidia Tegra 2 mobile processor and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera for video chatting and a 5-megapixel rear camera. Osako said it will include Wi-Fi for getting online but won't initially have the ability to access wireless carriers' data networks, as the Galaxy Tab and the more expensive version of the iPad can. Toshiba may eventually work with carriers to add their wireless service to the device, he said.
The Tablet will have GPS and Bluetooth technologies and include a USB port, mini USB port and SD memory card slot. Besides supporting Google's Android Marketplace for downloading apps, the Tablet will include access to Toshiba's own online market, Toshiba Places, for downloading content such as games, movies and music. It will have the Toshiba BookPlace e-reader and BookPlace marketplace for buying e-books. Toshiba expects the tablet to be slightly more than half an inch thick and weigh less than 1.7 pounds (0.77 kg). This would be a hair chubbier than the iPad, which is half an inch thick and weighs slightly less at 1.5 pounds (0.68kg) or 1.6 pounds (0.73kg), depending on the model. Osako said the company is looking to include a battery that provides seven hours of video playback. The iPad, by comparison, promises as much as 10 hours of web surfing over Wi-Fi or video watching.

is Apple will launch new iPad in April 2011?
The technology world is abuzz over one analyst's prediction that Apple next iPad will hit retail shelves in April 2011.
The technology world is particularly abuzz over one analyst’s prediction
that Apple’s next iPad will hit retail shelves in April 2011. Brian
Marshall of Gleacher & Company predicted that the upgraded hand-held
computer will make its debut well after the holiday season in April., reported.
"I think April is the proper time frame for an iPad 2," Mr Marshall told Computerworld magazine.
"Since I'm projecting that Apple will release a CDMA iPhone in March, both will help to equalize Apple's seasonality."
The prediction ties into a recent report in industry trade magazine DigiTimes, which claimed that the design and suppliers of the iPad 2 had already been chosen.
Rumored upgrades to Apple’s tablet computer
include Facetime video chats and additional memory space, according to
pcmag.com. And a recent patent by Apple for a carbon-fiber material has
many speculating about the look and feel of the next generation iPad.
The current generation of iPads use an
aluminum frame, which adds weight to the gadget. Carbon fiber would make
the case lighter and stronger, and it would allow for improved Wi-Fi
and mobile broadband reception.
Meanwhile, Apple says new software available
Monday will allow owners of the iPad to print wirelessly over Wi-Fi
networks, the Associated Press reported.
The update will also allow iPad users to
switch quickly between applications for the first time, a feature that
had already been available on recent models of the iPhone and iPod.

raised some practical questions, including how power-efficient such a
technology would be. But IBM has something to say about the future of
battery power as well.
Whether or not any of these predictions
will come true by 2015 is anyone's guess. So as we
