The large screens, monitors, and the computers drained the power. But the show went on! <strong>Computers</strong> I think everyone was really looking forward to the Courier being released. Sadly, it wasn't. The new slate line was released. HP, Pegatron, and Archos are going to make the tablets.  The Slates are running Windows 7. The device has multi-touch, which seems standard these days. It is coming at the end of 2010.

Every Android device out will soon be getting a firmware update to Android 2.1. Android 2.1 will be what is on the Nexus One, and it looks pretty cool. The update will include Flash. Flash will work amazing on these phones, in my opinion. There was talk about new Android phones released in China, he didn't really go into detail.

At the beginning of the press conference Samsung talked about how they are going to hammer applications. They are going to try to implement them into their Blu-Ray players, cell phones, and TV. An application store will be rolled out this spring, and a "premium application" store later in the year. I think putting applications in all of these devices is a great idea. During the press conference they noted how fun it would be for the developers to create applications on a 55 inch screen. It is going to be great using applications, watching Youtube videos, and looking at pictures from Flickr, on such a big screen.
