So true, so true.... Nothing but boring iPad look-a-likes.. The Motorola Xoom is cool though but it's not available yet, and probably not before iPad 2..

Fancy a CES roundup? Here you go: Tablet tablet tablet tablet tablet tablet tablet tablet tablet tablet tablet tablet tablet mushroom mushroom.
I added the mushrooms in to make things sound more interesting than they actually are, because so far CES 2011 has been pretty dull.
It's mainly Apple's fault.
If you were to describe CES 2011 in a word, it'd be "tablets". PC firms can't get enough of the damn things.
They're making tablets with big screens and tablets with keyboards and tablets with styluses - styluses! - and tablets with WebOS and tablets with Windows and tablets with Android and tablets with god knows what on them. We've seen more tablets in the last few days than pharmacists see in their entire careers.
That's great if you're really, really interested in tablets, but it's not much cop if you aren't. It's as if the entire PC industry has become so fixated on tablet computers that they haven't bothered to make anything else.
So is CES 2011 rubbish? Not really. The problem is that the last few years spoiled us with their 3DTVs and SSDs and iPads, new kinds of technology that were enormously exciting when they were unveiled but that already seem everyday.
The truth is that technology can't be revolutionary every year, and 2011 so far is clearly not one of those years. There's every possibility that CES 2012 will be awesome - and if it isn't, at least we'll be able to mock all the iPad 2 copies.
