SAMSUNG SLIDING TABLET 7

This Samsung tablet which they introduced at the CES 2011 is way different from the run-of-the-mill Android devices. One, because it incorporates a physical keyboard in the design. They are out with a good looking 10.1-inch tablet which hides a slide-down keyboard behind its gorgeous screen. What else distinguishes it from the current breed of tablets is the operating system it runs on: Windows 7. It can display HD imagery, weighs less than a kilo and comes in two variations of 32GB and 64 GB.

LG optimus 2x uses the Tegra 2 platform. This phone is one of the slimmest and best-looking touch screen phones in the market.

It even has an HDMI port to connect to HDTVs and play content directly on the big screen in hi-def. We cannot wait to get our hands on this device.

NVIDIA TEGRA 2

Just as Tegra 1 transformed computing, Tegra 2 seems all set to bring a sea change in the world of mobile telephony. It will improve tablet processing speeds as well. Forget the old, boring and slow mobile phones that took a day to start, and once started took another day to load applications, all the while suffering bad graphics. Tegra 2 has been specially designed for super phones-it will speed up the processing speed four times and at the same time give graphics an adrenaline boost. Multi-tasking will be a cinch.
