This years CES brought close to 140,000 visitors enjoying 2,700 displays of awesome. It was truly a geek central and an experience like no other. With so many booths, tech displays, 200+ sessions and almost 1000 speakers it was hard to see and hear everything. All that makes it hard to pick your favourite gadget or technology, so here are five.

1. Tablets
You could pick from over 80 tablets, ranging from 7” to 14”. Most had front and back cameras. Many featured slider keyboards, dock frames with keyboard or bluetooth keyboards. Some had touch and precise pen input. A couple even had dual screen setups. They were running anything from Android 2.2, Android 3.0, Windows 7, Linux to Blackberry QNX. Many were designated for 4G networks and were packing some serious power under the hood. Most notable were Dell Streak 7, LG G-Slate, BlackBerry PlayBook, Acer Iconia, ASUS Eee Pad, but my favourite was Motorola Xoom. It featured NVIDIA Tegra 2 Dual-Core Processor and Android 3.0 Honeycomb system with all the Google love you can handle.

2. Smartphones
2011 CES was definitely about smarter and faster phones. AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile presented their 4G lineup. Many of the phones had some heavy duty features like: HDMI, Autofocus 8MP Cameras, AMOLED screens, HD Video recording/playback, Dolby  Surround and more…

Top picks:
Motorola Atrix (AT&T)
Samsung Infuse 4G (AT&T)
Motorola Droid Bionic (Verizon)
Samsung 4G LTE (Verizon)
LG Revolution (Verizon)
HTC Evo Shift (Sprint)
Motorola Cliq 2 (T-Mobile)

My favourite was Motorola Atrix. In part because of the cool docking station that doubled as a netbook and in part because of the snappy 1GHz Dual-Core processor and HD Video Playback streaming option.

3. Android everywhere
Approximately 70% of devices at CES were Android powered. Anything from phones, tablets, netbooks, and TVs, to cars, clock radios, printers and Android-powered headphones. Read More
