As CES approaches, we are bound to get wind of many yet-to-be announced devices, like the one we see in the above image. This leaked image obtained by NOTEBOOKitalia reveals a mysterious 7″ ASUS Android tablet. Unfortunately the image didn’t come with any information to help identify itself, but we can sure speculate. We’re thinking this will end up being either a 7″ Eee Pad Transformer Prime, 7″ Eee Pad Memo, or possibly even a 7″ ASUS Padfone (though we doubt it).


Attending CES can be a wild and daunting experience. This major technology trade show features more floor space than 35 American football fields, and it’s quite easy to become lost among the sea of exhibitor booths. Since this is a technology show, there will of course be ways of using various technologies to help chart your way and stay up-to-date with what’s going on. This year’s official CES app for Android is just what you’ll need and features many useful tools such as:


Acer is set to show off a couple A series tablets at CES next month. In a wild night of Russian site seeing, the Iconia Tab A200 and A700 were spotted knocking back a few shots of vodka in preparation for CES. While we’ve seen the “little brother” A200 before, this is our first good look at the powerhouse A700. Sporting a Tegra 3 quad-core processor and a 10.1″ 1920 x 1200 resolution screen, the A700 is looking to steal the show. Other noted specs of the A700 include:


With CES only a few weeks away, we’re preparing ourselves for what is surely going to be an Android extravaganza. With Android activations surpassing 700,000 devices per day, it would be unwise for any company to ignore its strong market presence. This leads us to believe CES 2012 will be chock full of Android goodness. We’re going to dive into a few products and announcements we expect to see this year, along with a few things we’re keeping our fingers crossed about.


It would appear that Intel is getting ready to showcase their latest Medfield mobile chips. Sometime last week, Intel was kind enough to allow a few lucky folks over at MIT some hands-on with a few Android prototypes sporting the new chips. Technology Review was able to test out both an Android phone (running Gingerbread) and an Android tablet (running ICS) to see just how well these chips perform. The devices themselves are simply “reference designs” sent out to entice manufactures and have absolutely no bearing on what they may look like when finally produced.
