CES is ‘Irrelevant’
by Christine Torralba on Jan 17, 2012 0 Comments">0
So what’s this we hear about the CES becoming an ‘irrelevant’ event? With the recently concluded CES 2012, there were a total of 153,000 attendees who witness over 20,000 new product launches. If this isn’t successful enough, we don’t know what else is anymore. But regarding who dominated the event last week, the recognition goes, hands down, to Google for their Android. In fact, it has been growing stronger every year at CES. It just goes to show that we believe Rafe Needleman (CNET) was right when he said next year’s event will be populated by Google devices. Considering the …

Currently the smartphone that holds the title of the”World’s Thinnest Smartphone” is the Huawei Ascend P1S, I was kind of surprised that no other manufacturer beat them at CES for that title. Anyways, the Huawei P1S is super thin, but that doesn’t take away from it’s power and speed. It is still super fast and powerful. The Huawei Ascend P1S comes in at just 6.68mm thick, running on a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, and Ice Cream Sandwich on a 4.3-inch qHD display.Sadly it still has capacitive buttons, it was probably in the making before …

While at CES 2012 I saw a ton of new Tablets and phones running Android one of my favorite things I saw was the Toshiba Excite 10.1. The reason I fell in love with it was the design, it feels absolutely perfect to me it’s defiantly the best feeling hardware a tablet has ever had. The straight edge makes the thinness of the device really stand out at only 0.3 inches thick. The Toshiba Excite X10 is powered by TI OMAP 4420 dual core processor clocked at 1.2 Ghz equipped with 1 GB of RAM. The screens resolution is 1280 x 800 …

I must say it’s even better then the Droid Razr, while the only main difference is the huge battery that’s in the Droid Razr Maxx, and it’s bump up to 32GB of memory, it’s worth checking out. The Droid Razr Maxx is still just as thin as the original Droid Razr, but at CES it lost it’s title as the world’s thinnest smartphone. But we knew that was going to happen at CES didn’t we?
