Las Vegas, Jan 10: During the last four days gadget lovers around the globe were just concentrating on a single thing. It was the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2011, the biggest technology-related trade show in the world. This World Cup has showcased new products and proto-types from different manufactures. Many of them will stay on stage and some will rest in peace.

2011 CES will be most remembered for the latest tablets running on Google Android operating system. More than 10 tablets have been surfaced during the show. Giants like Motorola, Dell, Research in Motion (RIM), Asus etc came up with their latest creations.

Manufactures like Dell, Samsung, HTC and Motorola surfaced latest handsets with exciting multimedia features. The new trend in mobiles shows that handset makers are trying to club features of a tablet and mobile.

Another amazing wonder of CES was the new version of Google's popular operating system Android. Google demoed the Android 3.0 Honeycomb, which is exclusively designed for tablets.
