Pete Cashmore, founder of Mashable, makes two great points while at CES. The first is, really, who cares about anything coming out at the event? Its being 100% overshadowed by Google announcing NexusOnes before the event, and Apple gearing up to announce the iSlate on January 27 (which I for one, cant wait for). Even Steve Ballmer, during his keynote, was smart enough not to discuss tablets or show his off, because he knew he would be overshadowed by Steve Jobs in a few weeks.
Additionally, as I have been saying for a while, people need to stop worrying about hardware at this point. Everything is about creating a platform software that people can make easy to use software apps on. I dont care too much about the specs of the NexusOne, nor do I can that much about the network (a lot of people get uptight that iPhone is not on Verizon). Once you get the phone, the most important thing is the ease of use and have enough good hardware for developers to add content. Apple is a master of that, and that is why everyone is so excited about Apple's upcoming iSlate announcement.
