The tablets of CES 2012
We were expecting an explosion of new tablets at CES, and the conference certainly didn't disappoint. Unlike last year, where we saw an array of iPad competitors — at iPad prices — this year's crop was predominantly aimed at lower price points, but that didn't stop manufacturers from differentiating with higher-resolution displays, glasses-free 3D, and special gaming-focused devices. We've collected all of the tablet news from CES for you right here, just one tap away.
A special thanks to Borrow Lenses, who provided us with cameras and lenses for the week!
