Verizon iPhone 4

The Verizon iPhone 4 will be available for pre-order on February 2 and will be available in store on the 10th. Pricing will be the same as its GSM (AT&T) counterpart ($199.99 for 16GB, $299.99 for 32GB). Being on Verizon's network means no talk and data simultaneously, but may also mean significantly better coverage for some customers.

Stars of CES 2011

CES 2011 was a record year. Here are the stars of the show.
Motorola Xoom - Tablet
The Motorola Xoom is the flagship tablet and the first to ship with Google's tablet specialized Honeycomb software. Solidly built with a 10 inch (1366x768)  screen, this is the first true competitor to the iPad. It also utilizes a dual core Tegra 2 processor at 1GHz each to power all the cool effects in Honeycomb. Of course the true test is how many tablet specialized apps are in the Android Market.
UPDATE: Available starting at $599 Wi-fi only, $699 3G

Motorola Atrix 4G - 4G phone - AT&T

The Motorola Atrix 4G is a complete beast. Destined for AT&T, to many customers, this may just make up for AT&T's loss of iPhone exclusivity. Packed with a 540 x 960 4 inch screen, as well as a Tegra 2 dual core processor (1GHz), this phone is the complete package. What makes it really interesting, though, is that you can also buy a laptop dock, transforming your Atrix into a laptop. The laptop interface is specially designed and takes full advantage of the Atrix's plentiful resources. Expect it on AT&T with *sigh* 2.2 Froyo by the end of February.
UPDATE: Available for $200 on AT&T
HTC Thunderbolt - 4G phone - Verizon

The debut of Verizon's LTE network starts off with a gorgeous phone. Although not dual core, it features HTC's stellar build quality and the speed of Verizon's new 4G network.
UPDATE: Available for $200 on Verizon
Motorola Droid Bionic - 4G phone -Verizon
Similar to the Atrix 4G except with a larger 4.3 inch screen and without the interchangeable docks. It will also be available on Verizon instead of AT&T and will become the new leader of the Droid pack.

Samsung 9 Series - Laptop
Samsung's newest 13-inch ultraportable is thinner than the MacBook Air at its thickest point and has the looks to match. Internally, it is very powerful with a Core i5 processor. For users looking for a sleek and extremely solid ultraportable, the Samsung 9 series will be available by the end of March for a hefty $1,699.

Nexus S Official

The thoroughly leaked Nexus S from Samsung and the successor of the Nexus One has finally been officially released. It will be available December 16 for $199 on T-Mobile two-year contracts or $529 off contract. It will (unfortunately) have only a 1GHz processor (not the mythical dual core) but will sport a contour (curved in) 4 inch Super Amoled screen as well as Google's latest Android flavoring (Gingerbread). Google has the official Nexus S page up and is accessible from the main page of Google, so you know its a big deal.

Dell Venue Pro

The King of Windows Phone 7 handsets is finally available on Dell's website. As you all know, the Dell Venue Pro is the definition of business and efficiency in a smartphone. The 8GB version costs a reasonable $99 with a new two-year contract on T-Mobile. (The 16GB version costs $149) We really hope this beauty of a handset gets exposure from other carriers as well.
