Hasta La Gadget!

We knew it was coming, but we didn’t know what it would look like… or anything else besides 4G, Honeycomb, and an LG partnership, but at it’s press event here at CES, T-Mobile has finally revealed its G-Slate tablet. It looks like, well, a big screen, and we’re still working on getting more details, but for now these shots from the presser will have to suffice.

Say hello to the latest hardware news from Boxee, as Viewsonic was showing its new TV amongst its existing Android tablet lineup featuring the software and requisite Intel CE4100 processor built in. It didn’t appear to integrate live TV or other inputs into the Boxee software, instead of opting to run the software as its own app, offering a similar experience to the existing Boxee Box, minus the box of course. This TV should drop in “early Q2,” press release details are after the break.

Dell’s Looking Glass tablet has just received its official papers, being dubbed the Streak 7 and packed off to T-Mobile HSPA+ network. Alas, unlike its fellow CES debutants from the likes of Motorola and LG, this slate only has Android 2.2 on board, no Honeycomb, but you do get a front-facing 1.3 megapixel camera, a Gorilla Glass-protected screen, 16GB of internal memory, and of course the greatness and glory of that 1GHz dual-core Tegra 2 processor. T-Mobile retail stores and Dell’s direct online outlet should have the Streak 7 “in the coming weeks.” Full PR and an introductory video follow after the break.

Dell hasn’t had a regular booth or presser at CES in a few years now — the company chooses to bunker down in a suite at the Palms instead. That’s where we’re currently hangin’, waiting to see what Round Rock has in store for us this year — and there’s a huge Alienware Hummer parked outside, so we’re definitely expecting some gaming news. But what else will Dell do? Another Adamo-bearing model? Another super-hasty Streak hands-on in a back alley? We’ll find out soon enough.

Both Sony and Vizio have already quietly dropped word that Skype would be heading to their respective internet-connected TVs, but Skype itself has now made the move fully official, a full year after it offered the first demo of Skype on a Panasonic VieraCast TV at CES 2010. Unfortunately, it isn’t offering many more details than Sony or Vizio, and it’s using both “coming soon” and “later this year” to describe the rollout on TVs from the two companies, which leaves open a depressingly long and confusing possible launch window. What’s more, Skype has also confirmed that it’s working with Panasonic and Sony to bring some added connectivity to your existing TV with the aid of a Skype-enabled Blu-ray player and webcam — look for those “soon.”
