HP MAY NOT BE LAUNCHING ITS TABLETS HERE AT THE SHOW AFTER ALL. THE ANTICIPATED HP PALMPAD LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN FEBRUARY IF PRESS INVITATIONS ARE CORRECT.

THE COMPANY ANNOUNCED A LINE-UP OF TABLETS AND PHONES HERE AT THE SHOW. THE EEE PAD TRANSFORMER AND EEE PAD SLIDER ARE ANDROID TABLETS THAT WILL RUN THE HONEYCOMB VARIETY OF GOOGLE'S OPERATING SYSTEM. THE EEE SLATE WILL RUN WINDOWS AND THE EEE PAD MEMO IS AN ANDROID PHONE. THE VIDEO STREAMING SERVICE VUDU ANNOUNCED THAT IT WILL START OFFERING 3D MOVIES. 3D TITLES WILL START APPEARING ON VUDO MENUS NEXT WEEK AND THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE IN STANDARD AND HI DEF. OF COURSE YOU NEED A 3D TV TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS AND WE DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THEY WILL CHARGE FOR THESE STREAMS YET.
