CES Delivers What Santa May Have Missed

Looks like the FlipHD will have competition from the new Sony Bloggie, as well as from Sanyo and Kodak. The Sanyo version has an 8 MP still camera as opposed to the Bloggie's 5 MP. And then there's an interesting device from Ion Audio that has a lens on either side of it's body... but it does look like it might have some better audio.


In terms of Web Video, I'm interested to see what Apple rolls out in terms of a tablet because the HP and Lenovo versions look interesting. This from a Computerworld blog:

Alex Wilhelm thinks about HP's new Slate tablet:
Well, we did get to see a tablet tonight at CES, three in fact. Ballmer in his keynote today highlighted an upcoming “slate” PC from HP. ... What does it do? Well, Ballmer showed it running Kindle and Windows Media Player. Looks like a pretty standard Windows 7 [installation with] multiouch support.
  
Good news: it is coming, and is garnering positive initial reviews. Bad news: no you cannot have one now, and you need to wait for Apple to talk before you would even want to think about buying one. ... HP states that: “It will also make an appearance, along with HP’s Todd Bradley, in a keynote with Qualcomm’s CEO Friday.” Get ready.

Here's NVIDIA's chipset being shown off in a number of tablets. It still remains to be seen what Apple decides to do to power it's tablet. I guess we'll find out at Macworld, if not sooner!
