CES 2011

Several new products will be showcased at the CES in Las Vegas.  Vizio will be releasing a Smartphone and a demo Tablet.  The Smartphone will have a 4 inch, high resolution screen, and the Tablet will have an 8 inch high resolution screen.  The Smartphone's camera will be 5 megapixel, with HD Video Taping.  Both have a touchscreen.  Both also run on Android network and have a front facing camera for video chat.  Both Vizio's Via Phone smartphone and Via Tablet will have a 1GHz processor and a MicroSD card slot. They will have 801.11n WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity.  These little gadgets will be released for sale in the US in the summer.  Prices are to be announced. 

Toshiba now has an Android Tablet as well. 
This will reportedly use the Nvidia (Nasdaq: NVDA) twin-core Tegra 2 processor, like its predecessor, the Folio 100, which was shipped to Europe in November. Also like the Tegra, it will support 1080p HD video, but it will have a higher-res display -- 1,280 by 800 pixels.
Further, the new tablet will have a 5MP camera on the back and a 2MP camera on the front.
The new Toshiba tablet will reportedly have regular-sized HDMI and USB connectors as well as a mini-USB and an SD card slot. Toshiba said it will produce a WiFi version first, and add in Bluetooth and GPS later. The device will reportedly ship in June.

Whether Lenovo will live up to reports that it will unveil two consumer tablet devices, one of which might be dubbed the "LePad," is similarly unclear. 
The tablets will be targeted at consumers at multiple price points, Nick Reynolds, a global marketing director of at Lenovo, apparently told IDG News.  Details will be released at CES 2011, Reynolds said.  However, queries to Lenovo elicited a refusal to comment on the grounds that the device was not announced.
