CES has already come and gone but it looks like some people are just scooping up some information now. Today we know that Case-Mate actually had a BlackBerry Curve 8910 at their booth - of course, showing off their new case. It's really not much different from the Curve 8900 but it does sport the optical trackpad, which I think is better than the trackball once you get used to it.

Spotted at CES was this all in one PC from Samsung, the MU200. Yes CES has been over for a while now but it's still interesting to see products that some people might have missed and this is one of them. We know that this PC comes with an Intel Pentium T4400 2.2GHz CPU, 2GB of RAM, a 320GB HDD, an optical drive, and GeForce G310 graphics. We don't know when it will launch, but it should be hitting the Korean market shortly.

What you see above is being called the Qualcomm Snaptop. As you can see the display has a stand on the back and that keyboard is detachable and can be operated wirelessly over Bluetooth. The display is also a touchscreen and can be used as a tablet if you'd like. It's based on Qualcomm's ARM CPU and the Android OS. Right now this is only a prototype so it could be a while if we ever see it hit the market.

At CES, which has just finished, Asus showed off a gaming notebook, the UL80JT, which features an Intel Core i7 and Nvidia GeForce 310 graphics with integrated Intel GMA graphics (swappable). Because of these swappable graphics, Asus is boasting that this notebook will actually get close to 12 hours of battery life - in Energy Saver mode of course. That's pretty incredible if you ask me.

Even though LG is really dedicated to Microsoft's Windows Mobile they're not going to turn their back on Google's Android OS just yet. LG's CEO, Nam Yong, has just mentioned that "about half" of their smartphones in 2010 will be running on Android (GT540 running Android above). It probably won't be exactly half, but it should be pretty close. Looks like LG doesn't have plans on making their own OS like their rivals, Samsung.

We heard that it would happen and now it's official. Viliv has officially unveiled their P3 PMP and it's a pretty damn good device. It's got a 3.7-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display with a  480 x 800 resolution, an 800MHz ARM Cortex A8 CPU, 720p TV output, up to 32GB of internal memory, optional T-DMB / DAB tuners, a microSD card slot, WiFi, and it's body measures just 9.8mm thin. To make things even better it dual-boots both Windows CE and the Android OS. Check out the link below for a video.

Engadget got their hands on an Asus / Pegatron Neo smartbook running Google's Android OS. Along with that there's WiFi and Nvidia's new Tegra 2 chipset. As you can see in the picture above it's got a chiclet keyboard and a pretty damn thin body. The full spec sheet wasn't mentioned yet and neither was the price or availability. However it should be available by the end of the year.

We've already talked about the LG X300 so we don't need to talk about that anymore. What you see above is the LG X200 which was also spotted at CES. This is actually a netbook that will feature: a 10.1-inch display with a 1,366 x 768 resolution, an Intel Atom N450 1.66GHz CPU / N470 1.83GHz CPU, 1GB / 2GB of RAM, a 250GB / 320GB HDD, WiFi / 3G support, a 4 / 6-cell battery, and Windows 7 Starter Edition. This netbook will be actually be available starting in February for an undisclosed price.

We've heard about this netbook a little bit and it's actually already available on AT&T. It's the LG X120 (below) and it has a 10.1-inch display with a 1,024 x 600 resolution, an Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz CPU, WiFi / 3G support, a 1.3MP webcam, and a 3 / 6-cell battery.

Unlike everyone else at CES iriver showed off a PMP! This is the first one we've heard about so far and it's the iriver K1. This PMP will feature a 3.5-inch touchscreen display with a 320 x 480 resolution, support for a bunch of file formats, WiFi support, a DMB TV tuner, and a web browser of course. The K1 is expected to launch in South Korea later this month but the price hasn't been mentioned yet.

Running Android 2.1, this MSI tablet was spotted at CES. At this point it's a prototype considering it being extremely buggy right now. Let's hope MSI irons out the issues and releases it by the end of this year because it's looking like it could have potential. If only we could get our hands on the spec sheet... Anyways, check out the link below for a couple of videos of the MSI tablet.

Update: According to Engadget, this tablet from MSI was actually using the new Nvidia Tegra 2 chip as well.

It's not confirmed if it's headed to AT&T subsidized yet but now we know that the mysterious 5-inch Dell MID - formerly known as the Streak - will be launching as the Mini 5. It's sporting a 5-inch capacitive multi-touchscreen display, a 5MP camera, a front-facing camera, a SIM card slot, WiFi, and it's been caught running Android 1.6 at CES. We're hoping that it gets launched with at least Android 2.0 but only Dell knows if they'll do that. Of course, they'll be selling this on their website whenever they want too, but it could be hitting AT&T - like I said.

Of course, the Fujitsu Lifebook MH380 netbook was spotted at CES. The spec sheet has been mentioned and it's actually pretty expensive at $449, especially considering that it only has a 4-cell battery - a 6-cell battery is optional and will cost a little bit more. We do know that the MH380 will feature a 10.1-inch display with a 1,366 x 768 resolution, an Intel Atom 1.66GHz N450 CPU, 1GB / 2GB of RAM, a 250GB HDD, a 1.3MP webcam, WiFi n / Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR support, a card reader, audio jacks, and Windows 7 Starter Edition.

At CES 2010 this year Panasonic has just unveiled a 152-inch 3D plasma HDTV. The price is expected to be absolutely ridiculous so don't worry about shelling out the money to buy one. It's packing a 4K x 2K (4,096 x 2,160) display, a 5,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and a Full HD resolution.

Update: Engadget scooped up some photos of the huge plasma and it's now above.

I never thought I'd see the day where I'd want an LG handset, but this could be it. The LG GW990 is sporting: a 4.8-inch multi-touchscreen display with a 1,020 x 480 resolution, 16GB of internal memory, , an Intel Moorestown CPU, WiFi / aGPS / 3G support, a digital compass, 512MB of RAM, a 5MP camera, HD video support, a huge 1,850 mAh battery, and Intel's Moblin as an OS. The display is huge, so it could and probably will double as an MID and PMP. Could this that LG and Sprint and Microsoft handset that was hyped a couple of weeks ago? Only time will tell.

Update: According to Slash Gear, this "smartphone" will be launching in the second half of this year.

We don't know if Dell ever plans to launch this notebook, but they have shown off a Studio XPS 16 prototype. The display is said to have a 10,000:1 contrast ratio and the panel itself is said to be just 2mm. Of course the display is brighter than typical LCD displays, the response times are also much faster, and the battery life was also improved as well.
