Pepper Pad 3

AMD Geode LX800 Processor 256MB DDR1 Linux 2.6 kernel 7 Touch Screen LCD 800 x GB HDD Split QWERTY keypad 802.11 b/g 2 Speakers USB 2.0 Built-in webcam $700
The Pepper Pad is a device that lets you read email, browse the web and view media (pictures, MP3, etc.). This is a product concept that just wont die. Many years ago National Semiconductor had a product reference design called Webpad. Webpad was supposed to be a great light weight wireless web connected appliance based on the Geode processor. Several companies did Webpad products and they all died a horrible death, most notable was the 3Com Audrey. The problem with these products is that they all ran either Linux or some other proprietary OS. There is too much media on the web that requires special drivers that are only available for Windows. Look for this product at Haltek soon!

Innowell UREN
7 touch screen, 800 x 480 Windows XP Home Edition 1GHz Via or AMD LX800 (500MHz) 256MB DDR1 1.8 30GB HDD Built in GPS 10/100 Ethernet 802.11 B/G Mono speaker Two USB 2.0 ports Stereo headphone jack 1800mAh Lithium Battery life: 1.5 hours with Via 2.5 hours with AMD
The UREN is a design based on Microsofts tablet strategy. The concept and features are the same across all the Tablet products. See comments at the end of this report

AMtek Origami

Via C7, 1GHz (fan cooled) 7 touch screen, 800 x 480 Windows XP Tablet Edition 1 SODIMM slot, DDR2 2.5 40GB HDD 802.11 B/G Mono speaker Two USB 2.0 ports Stereo headphone jack 2400mAh Li-Ion Battery
This is the much talked about Origami product that cause Transmetas stock price to go wild. This is the same features and functions as the UREN.

Raon Digital Vega

4.3 touch screen, 800 x 480 Windows XP Home Edition AMD LX800, 500MHz 256MB DDR1 1.8 30GB HDD 802.11 B/G Stereo speakers Two USB 2.0 ports Stereo headphone jack 3300mAh Lithium Battery life: 5.5 hours $1,100

I actually got a chance to use a Vega at the AMD booth. I was quite surprised with its fast responsiveness, I loaded Microsoft Word and Excel and the applications came up very fast. The product ran very hot.

Samsung Q1

Intel Celeron-M ULV, 900MHz 7 touch screen, 800 x 480 Windows XP Tablet Edition 512MB DDR2 2.5 40GB HDD 802.11 B/G 10/100 Ethernet Mono speaker Two USB 2.0 ports Stereo headphone jack 3 hours with standard battery pack, 7 hours with extra battery 2400mAh Li-Ion Battery $1,000 Available for purchase
The Samsung Q1 was the most well engineered of the Tablets I saw. The product detail, quality and feel were the best of all. I was not able to handle and operational unit, there was a person doing the demonstrations.

Samsung Butterfly

This is the top secret Samsung SPH-P9000 Butterfly device. It features a 1.0GHz Transmeta processor, 256MB memory, a 5.0inch TFT screen, CDMA EVDO, WiMAX, and a 1.3-megapixel camera. It runs a full version of Windows XP. This is a very cool product which folds up very small.
I saw the ASUS tablet at the Microsoft booth. There was such a crowd in the booth and this product had such a tiny section that I was not able to collect any information on it. This product sort of bridges between a Tablet and UPC.

Sony Vaio UX

Intel Core Solo, 1.20 GHz Integrated WAN 1GB RAM 40GB hard drive 4.5" LCD, Touch Screen $1,900
Here is a product that looks like an industrial computer. Sony incorporated EDGE networking in it which could make it a hit with truly mobile professionals like delivery trucks, taxis, etc.

OQO 02

1.5GHz VIA C7M ULV Windows XP Tablet Edition VIA VX700 with shared video memory 60GB HDD 1GB DDR2 Approx $1,700 This is OQOs second generation product. OQO really invented the concept of the Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC). This is a very well engineered product that unfortunately has not had much success.

Medion UMPC

VIA C7, 5.0W 1.0GHz ULV 512MB DDR2 30GB HDD Microsoft Windows Vista 6.X 480 Touch screen Web Cam 802.11b/g Bluetooth VGA out USB 2.0 Media slot (SD/SD-IO/MMC) x 1 Headphone jack x 1 Microphone jack x 1 Battery Life 4 ~ 5 hrs Optional GPS Shipping soon.
The Medion is an OQO like product. The split keyboard makes it more functional that the tiny OQO keyboard.

Motion Computing

Windows XP Tablet PC Edition. Intel Celeron-M 1.0 GHz 12.1" XGA TFT display Digital Video Interface (DVI-D) port 3+ hours battery life Bluetooth Array microphone Integrated Fingerprint Reader Trusted Platform Module (TPM) $2,000

Motion Computing is a company who makes products for professional markets.

Quanta OLPC

AMD Geode, 366 MHz AMD CS5536 South Bridge Integrated Graphics controller with Geode CPU; unified memory architecture ENE KB3700 keyboard controller 128 MB DR266 1MB SPI BIOS ROM 512 MB SLC NAND flash No rotating media 7.5 Dual-mode TFT display This is the much talked about One Laptop Per Child OLPC product that was spearheaded by MIT and built by Quanta Computer. This product was met with much skepticism at the show. The units on display had slow performance, lack of software and Fisher Price appearance. Many spectators mistook this for a kids toy. The wind up battery charger was removed from the product due to mechanical design challenges.
Coolest Technology at CES
This is the Canesta IR keyboard. An image of a keyboard is projected on a flat surface, infrared sensor detects finger movements. I tried it and it really worked! Great for applications like clean rooms, very tiny computers where keyboard input is only occasionally needed.

Conclusion

Computers at the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show took a back seat to flat screen TVs. This is the year that flat screen TVs will see tremendous growth as their price levels hit the magic sub $1,000 price point. As Via drops out of the CPU business, it will leave a hole for Intel and AMD to offer products with integrated north and south bridges. Use of PCI Express as a docking interface, a UMPC product could be plugged into a dock where an external high power graphics controller can run the docked display. This is a very attractive architecture since the portable unit is not burdened with the massive power consumption of the graphics controller to run the mobile LCD display. As people become much more dependant on computers to perform their job with functions beyond email, small form factor computers will see increased demand. The big companies like FedEx and UPS can afford to have custom computers made for their trucks. What about the smaller companies that want real time package tracking or real time order entry? for them UMPCs, and truck mounted laptops make sense.
Trends in Consumer Content Portability

Chris Pedersen DIGDIA

Consumer Commercial Content Portability Landscape Pre-CES 2007
Music and audio was largely portable as MP3s, Podcasts & CDs small growing locked-content libraries (e.g. iTunes) Except for DVDs, Video was inside walledgardens There were some one-way links to set-top boxes from the PC, but not from the STB to the PC Internet video, though growing in popularity was about short-clips viewed on the PC Cell phone video & placeshifting (e.g. Slingbox) was a theoretical possibility for most

What Real Changes & Future Changes Were Telegraphed?
The walled-gardens are expanding their walls! Internet video to TV will expand, but, for most consumers, as part of the walled-garden experience Low-quality content portability will grow as content owners realize the promotional benefits of free sharing Place-Shifting likely to grow In-car video likely to stay DVD-based Mobile
