CES 2011: Verizon launching 10 4G devices: tablets, phones and notebooks

Today at CES in Las Vegas, Verizon Wireless did exactly what we thought they'd do: Introduce a boatload of devices that run on its fast 4G wireless network. There were 10 gadgets total, among them smart phones from HTC, Samsung, LG and Motorola, a couple of laptops and wireless hotspots, plus an update of the Samsung Galaxy Tab and of course, the Motorola Xoom.
