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 …

by Christine Torralba on Jan 03, 2012 2 Comments">2
For its participation in this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2012), LG is entering with one of the most anticipated devices at this time. If you have already heard about the upcoming Intel Medfield Android devices that LG will launch on January 10, here’s a little background on the powerful merger between the two companies. In last year’s CES 2011, LG and Intel were both set to launch the Intel Moorestown-based LG GW990. Sadly, the event didn’t happen because both parties decided to pull out the project due to a lack of marketability in the product. Even though the first …

Asus Transformer Prime Launching on January 12th in UK
by Lucian Armasu on Dec 26, 2011 9 Comments">9
It seems the Asus Transformer Prime was delayed by at least a month compared to the initial reports that it will be launched on December 9th, then pushed to 19th, and now, at least in UK it was announced that it’s going to be launched on January 12th. This is quite a delay, and we don’t really know what’s been causing this. When I first heard the Asus CEO that Android 4.0 could launch even by the end of 2011 on Asus Transformer Prime, I immediately thought it would’ve been a better idea to wait until it actually gets Android …

I’m already planning to attend the LG and Sprint events at CES in Las Vegas early next month, so here’s hoping that this new LG LS680 is one of the things they plan to unveil.
