I've been trying to make it to CES for a couple years. I'm no tech superstar but developed a mild addiction to consumer electronics, namely in the wireless realm due to the decade plus I spent at a large tier one wireless carrier.When I found out both my brother and friend were attending I decided to pull the trigger. This post will namely cover my experience on the floor with a separate posting diving into the rest of my Vegas adventures.
The main focus of this years show seemed to be 3D televisions, 4G and dual-core smartphones and tablets, tablets tablets. I'll start with the handset I found to be most impressive. Not necessarily because the handset's features were anything more hardcore than the myriad of other superphones being shown but because of how well Motorola has extended the use via a few very cool peripherals. The Motorola ATRIX is a smartphone running Google's Android OS. It is slated for launch on the AT&T network and will be a "4G" HSPA+ device. At launch it will run Android version 2.2, also known as Froyo.
Motorola has implemented its Blur skin which may upset those looking for a stock Android experience but it's fairly minimal in its obtrusiveness and doesn't run nearly as deep as HTC's Sense UI.Motorola ATRIX 4G feature breakdown-
Screen- 4" qHD capacitive multitouch display with a dense 540 x 960 pixels
Processor- 1Ghz dual core NVIDEA Tegra 2 with 1GB DDR2 RAM
Cameras- Front facing .3MP/Rear Facing 5MP
Battery- 1930mAh
The UI was very snappy and the screen proved very receptive to touch input. If this is any indication of how AT&T is going to respond to loosing its iPhone exclusive I'm hopeful they won't feel the pain too much.
