Current and future hardware shown on stage included:
- A new touch-enabled slate PC from HP
- The Sony VAIO L all-in-one laptop built for HD entertainment and multimedia content creation, and including a 24-inch touchscreen

Google finally lived up to their hype by introducing their own ‘superphone’ – Nexus 1. Based on the Android 2.1 OS, this ‘superphone’ has a lot of spunk in the display and speed; built in voice recognition feature that works throughout the phone’s OS and app and has the heavy Google Marketing Tank behind it. We’ll see how this phone holds up after the new iPhone is released in the 2nd quarter of this year.
Finally, after it’s failed bid on AdMob, Apple took 1% of it’s war chest and purchased Quattro Wireless, the 2nd largest mobile ad company. Anticipate on seeing ads on your Mac OS, iPhone, and the Tablet in the future.
