Hasta La Gadget!

It’s been raining tablets here at CES 2011. No seriously, it as if the sky has opened up in Vegas and dropped touchscreen slabs with Android and Windows 7 operating systems on our heads. It’s been nearly impossible to keep track of the number of tablets released and the details we’ve learned about them… until now, that is. After the break you will find a complete list of all the tablets we have heard about as well as a few key details about ’em. You’ll notice that most of the tablets listed plan to run Android 3.0 — if you’re looking for more on Google’s not-yet-released tablet OS, you’ll want to check out our guided tour and our interview with Google’s Matias Duarte. The show isn’t over yet so expect us to add more tablets over the next couple of days, but without further ado, we give you the official Engadget tablet chart of CES 2011.

You’ll also note that we’ve denoted our favorites in bold, so pay closer attention to those and make sure to click through to hear why they’ve impressed us so much. Enjoy!

One of the things that I like most about using Google as my primary search engine is that their page loads quick, and it’s simple. There’s no “extras” to slow down the loading time which means I’m able to perform my search faster. If they ever changed things, I must admit, I’d be a bit disappointed which is why I’m hoping that the changes they’re making over in Asia won’t eventually be implemented here as well.

According to PC World, Google is experimenting with a new homepage design in both Taiwan and Hong Kong saying that they’re doing it to “take advantage of faster broadband speeds.” What they’re actually doing is directing users to an iGoogle page that is filled with “stuff.” Google co-founder Sergey Brin says that so far the response has been positive, and that the design is more appropriate for the culture there.

If they’re taking advantage of faster broadband speeds, I’m sure the page probably loads just as quickly as the plain Google homepage loads for me, but then the issue is all of the extras cluttering up the page. So, with that… how would you feel if the Google Homepage was re-designed to look something more like iGoogle with Gadgets, and links to other Google services? I’m pretty sure Google wouldn’t take that route here, but if they did…

I suppose there’s no such thing as a “normal” week in Las Vegas. As I was walking down the strip last night, going from one meeting to the next, I was attempting to explain my surrounds, trying to come up with a succinct description for the sensation of walking past the Eiffel Tower one moment and then the canals of Venice and the warring pirate ships the next.

The best description I could come up with was, “imagine that some supervillian had collected up all of the world’s most famous monuments and dumped them in a few miles of one another,”

That said, even with that manner of odd spectacle encountered on a daily basis, there’s something special about the second week of the year, when two distinctly different groups descend upon the city. On one side are the technology enthusiasts, booking hotel rooms for the country’s biggest technology show. On the other are members and fans of the adult industry descending upon the Sands for the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo.

It always seemed to me that it couldn’t possibly be a coincidence that these two seemingly polarizing shows occur in the same city on the same week. This year, I spoke with a spokesman for the AVN show and got the answer–it’s no coincidence at all. AVN was actually born out of CES.

It’s been quite a while since Tritton last cropped up on our radar, but the company was acquired by Mad Catz last summer, and it’s now announced a new range of Mac-compatible, 720p-supporting external video cards. That includes updated versions of its existing SEE2 UV150 external VGA video card and SEE2 XD300 Xpress Docking Station (with VGA, Ethernet, four USB ports, and mic and speaker ports), along with the all new SEE2 Xtreme UV250 external video card, which packs both VGA and DVI ports and supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1200, but is apparently only compatible with Windows. Look for it to be available in April for $100, while two Mac-compatible devices will be available next month for $60 and $100. Full press release is after the break.
