Today at CES, AT&T just kept announcing device after device, from its seemingly bottomless treasure trove of Android booty. Instead of spamming you with post after post of AT&T Android devices, I’ll just put them all in this post here. We’ll take a look at the Samsung Galaxy Note, Exhilirate, and Galaxy S II Skyrocket HD. We’ll show you Sony’s first LTE device the Xperia Ion, and a couple of Pantech devices. They’re all running Android, and they’re all on AT&T, so stay tuned after the break for what each device has to offer.


We’ve seen plenty regarding the DROID 4, but one thing that has eluded us, an official release by Verizon. Today Verizon and Motorola changed all that by officially announcing the DROID 4 in all of its RAZR looking glory.

We’re going to see a lot of automotive electronics at CES this year, and we fully expect Android to be running on a few of these next gen infotainment systems. Parrot, who isn’t a stranger to Android powered automotive electronics, had a few of their latest on display.

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.


The watch industry has been underdeveloped for quite some time now, and with the advent of mobile technologies, is in desperate need of change. There are endless possibilities to having pertinent information easily accessible, and the wrist is prime real estate for viewing such information. One company looking to take advantage of mobile communications and implement them into their watches, is Casio. Casio released its first electronic wristwatch 37 years ago and hasn’t looked back, so it’s fitting to see Casio moving forward in wristwatch technology. Looking to expand on their popular G-SHOCK line of wristwatches, Casio is planning to implement Bluetooth 4.0 LE for low power consumption communication between your wristwatch and smartphone.
