CES 2011 Takeaway: Crap Load of Smartphones Upon Us

CES 2011 is the talk of town right now. If you have been following the usual tech blogs (Engadget and Gizmodo), you'll notice no shortage of Android-powered phones and tablets on the horizon.  If you think choosing a smartphone in 2010 was getting tough, I pity the fool that is looking to pick one this year. In short, 4G is everywhere, CPUs are on steroids and Android 3.0 is hot. Some interesting ones include:

Smartphones to look out for:
Motorola Atrix (ATT 4G, Dual Core CPU with Laptop Docking!!!)
Motorola Droid Bionic (Verizon, LTE 4G)
Samsung Infuse 4G (ATT 4G phone, Android, 1.2GHz)
LG Optimus Black (2MP Front-Cam, Thinnest for now...)
Sony Xperia Arc (Sony's comeback to Mobile Phone?)

Tablets to look out for:
Motorola Xoom
BlackBerry Playbook (RIM's attempt to win back marketshare)
Asus Eee Pad Slate (i5 CPU, Windows 7)
T-Mobile (LG) G-Slate (Android 3.0, 4G)

Noteworthy:  Pioneer's in-car infotainment decks of the future:  Pandora connected via iPhone
