2011 International CES - Tablets, tablets everywhere.

Rather un-surprisingly this year's CES has seen every man and his dog release their "iPad Killer" tablet PCs.

Toshiba announce they would ditch their "Folio" Tablet, in favour of a new as yet unnamed tablet. The new tablet should be released in spring and promises some very powerful tech specs.

Sharp to quote the great man himself "...saw an over-crowded market and shouted me to."-Homer with the the "Galapagos". The Galapagos boasts a 16:9 LCD touch screen and wi-fi.

Panasonic to wants a piece of the action with its VIERA Tablet.The tablet will connect seamlessly with Panasonic's internet-connected TVs, it wil be able to display information and images relating to what you're watching on your main screen. The VIERA tablet will also be aided greatly by Panasonic's announcement that the "Connect" platform will be opened to third-party developers. This should help the VIERA to have a real chance at grabbing some of iPads market share.

They say imitation is the highest form of flattery. So the apple chiefs must be very very flattered. I though can't help but think while everyone fights for a piece of the iPad market, what clever little gadget are Apple technicians working on to open up new markets?
