CES will bring out all the big players in the mobile processor game, each ready to flaunt the power, speed, and overall performance of their mobile processing chips. We’re going to give you a look at a few of the major players and what they plan to bring to the CES table. This year’s buzz word should be “quad-core,” and we’re hoping to see plenty of it (hopefully on phones).


The world’s first quad-core tablet has sure been hard to come by. Almost every stockpile offered has been depleted instantly, leaving feigning customers with wads of cash just waiting to be spent. Well, I’m happy to report that BestBuy.com now has the 32GB Gray ASUS Tranformer Prime in stock and ready to roll. The ASUS Transformer Prime is a true testament of a powerful device at a reasonable price.


Samsung recently told us that the Galaxy Note would be coming to the U.S. sometime this year, but which carrier would be getting it remained a mystery. There were rumors of AT&T getting the Note and we now have some compelling evidence to suggest so. Apparently an accessory maker sent out some press emails outing the AT&T Galaxy Note, as they advertised being the first to carry accessories for the device. Of course that statement was soon retracted (and someone probably lost their job) but I’m now pretty confident the AT&T Galaxy Note exists.


Toshiba has plans to go thin this year at CES, and when I mean thin, I mean half as thin as their Toshiba Thrive Android tablet. Toshiba has announced its plans to show off the “World’s thinnest and lightest” tablet and claims the 10.1″ AT200 will only measure in at 7.7mm thick. The AT200 (aka Toshiba Excite) isn’t new to the blogoshpere and was announced back in September, with a December launch date. For whatever reason, Toshiba decided to delay the launch of their 558 gram razor thin tablet until CES, where they plan to show it off alongside their waterproof tablet and 7″ budget tablet.


A white version of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is set to start shipping out to UK retailers sometime this week, and while there had been a cute rendering of the device circling the web, it wasn’t the actual device. Now, thanks to Clove, we have a look at what the actual white Galaxy Nexus will look like, and I have to say, it sort of looks like an Ice Cream Sandwich to me. Coincidence?
