Hasta La Gadget!

Remember when Toshiba launched its original dynadock back at CES 2007? Man, those were good times. But trust us — not nearly as good as right now. The outfit has just pushed out the dynadock V here in Vegas, which is out and about only a few months after the dynadock wireless U was spotted. Essentially, this Windows-friendly device “offers the universal compatibility of its predecessor, the dynadock U, in a smaller package.” It’s half the size and one-third thinner, with four USB 2.0 ports, Ethernet LAN connectivity, a Sleep-and-Charge USB port and a 3.5mm audio in / out socket. There’s also an integrated video card that supports a single DVI or VGA monitor with up to 1,920 x 1,080 resolution, though you won’t find this even the least bit interesting if you roll in the OS X / Linux crowds. Check it next month for $119.99.

Dell Vice President of Sales and Marketing Michael Tatelman started off the company’s 2010 CES press conference by saying, “Today is going to be all about mobility and new technology.” Supporting this point are Dell’s new 11-inch laptop, the Alienware M11X, and a 5-inch Android tablet.

The Alienware M11X is what some would define as a mobile gaming laptop, with its 11-inch display and weight of about 4.8 pounds, but it offers all the parts to make it a semi-fine gaming computer. It runs on the Nvidia GeForce GT 335M GPU and uses Intel’s new Ultra Low Voltage processor. On top of all this, Tatelman says, the machine can run Crysis and Call of Duty with all the settings on high. The battery, according to Dell, will run for about 6 hours. The M11X will retail for under $1,000.

PCMag laptop analyst Cisco Cheng had the chance to catch a glimpse of the concept tablet Tatelman showed off. The given specs were few, being more of a tease. What we know: It runs on the Android OS and has a 5-inch display.

We’re so hard at work here at CES that we almost forgot that we just got brand new t-shirts! To celebrate our time in Las Vegas, we thought we’d share a little love and give away five of these precious bits of thread. You probably know the drill already, but the full rules (and another shot of our kind friend Roger modeling the shirt) are after the break so read on and get commenting!

You have to have a pretty special product to get two Engadget posts discussing your wares during the maelstrom of CES, but this Adam thing just won’t leave us alone with its Pixel Qi display, Tegra 2 innards and bona fide potential to blow the bloody doors off the homogeneous tablet market. We’ve gone back and grabbed video of the device in direct sunlight and it just kept on impressing us. The screen resolutely refused to be overpowered by the light, whether its backlight was on or off, but that was merely the tip of the iceberg as far as the happy impressions. Come past the break to find out more about buttery smooth 1080p playback (with a handy HDMI out), Notion Ink’s plans for modifying the Android OS, and more on the likely pricing of the device which is set to land in quarter two of 2010. Oh, and yea — we totally ripped it open and photographed the insides. Check that out below.

Cydle’s M7 isn’t the best tablet we’ve seen this year. In fact, it’s hardly even a tablet — it has a built-in stand that allows it to stand at attention in either landscape or portrait mode. When not in use, the stand actually flips around and acts as a screen cover — which is a little comforting when thinking about this soft 7-inch resistive touchscreen bumping against sundry objects in a laptop bag. The Android software on the device right now is ultra beta, so we weren’t able to see the internal ATSC TV tuner in action, but it does set the $199 device apart from some of its slate brethren, though our favorite feature might actually be the simple ability to use this device as an extra PC monitor. You know… it’s the little things in life. Under the hood there’s an ARM11 processor at 800MHz. The M7 should be launching in the Spring, and you can check out some video of the unit after the break if you’re into that sort of thing.
