Today's Question
| Will the iPad succeed or fail? |

Motorola's Xoom tablet, at 1.5lbs, is the first tablet to run Android 3.0 Honeycomb at launch.
Toshiba showed off its new 10-inch Android tablet, due out in the first half of the year. It will run Android 3.0 (Honeycomb), sports a rugged exterior and packs lots of power. The company also showed a prototype of a 3D laptop.
At CES 2011, TechWeb's Fritz Nelson meets up with Acer to get a close look at the newest tablet from Acer.

Putting its own twist on tablets, NEC has gone into the Android operating system's source code and modified it to support a dual screen device.
Long known for its ruggedized enteprise-class tablets, Motion Computing is at CES 2011 showing off its latest Windows 7 tablet -- one that supports both touchscreen and pen-based input.
