CES 2011: Heralding The Year of the Tablet

"Every CES has its unofficial theme - we've seen netbooks and ereaders flood the booths in previous years - and 2011 was the turn of tablets. As predicted before the show, the rise of the iPad, the imminent release of Android 3.0 Honeycomb and the promise of a new, lucrative segment has worked like catnip to manufacturers large and small. Check out the SlashGear CES 2011 tablet roundup after the cut."

Android? QNX? Choices galore at this year's CES. Not many yet running Android 3.0, but the author's biggest surprise was the RIM PlayBook. He states that it, and maybe not the various Android incarnations, may eventually be the biggest competitor to the iPad. Touch screen, slide-out keyboard, docking keyboard, what's your fancy? Anyone have a prediction as to what (if anything) will ultimately provide true competition for the iPad? I personally think that the PlayBook will be amongst the leaders when it finally sees the light of day - providing that RIM develops the ecosystem needed for success.
