			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What a great way to start the year to see Laptops with Android. Here are some new devices that are worth waiting for:</p>
<ol>
<li>REDFLY has already put a great product in the market extending Windows Mobile Phones. Now <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/redfly-working-on-android-proof-of-concept/">REDFLY working on Android proof-of-concept</a>, trying to get their Laptop (Shell) running Android. Though still in prototyping status, this is a clear sign of emerging devices that can pair with a mobile phone.</li>
<li>Now a member of the <a href="http://www.openhandsetalliance.com/">OHA</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/asus-looking-into-android-for-eee-phone-and-eee-pc/">ASUS is looking into Android for Eee Phone and Eee PC</a>. With ASUS&#8217;s R&amp;D strength and ability to reach faster to market, this could push us in between some serious competition among Laptop/NetBook vendors. This could become a buyer delight, since competition brings more innovation and cost savings to the buyers. Note that the <a href="http://venturebeat.com/2009/01/01/android-netbooks-on-their-way-likely-by-2010/">port of Android to ASUS Laptops</a> have already produced successfull results.</li>
<li>Intel Atom based Tablet&#8230;better a Convertible Tablet announcement by ASUS  (visit <a href="http://i.gizmodo.com/5124948/asus-t91-your-1+inch-thick-convertible-eee-pc/">here</a> and <a href="http://blog.laptopmag.com/hands-on-with-asus-convertible-eee-pc-t91-and-t101h/">here</a>) is very interesting. They have managed to pack GPS and TV within this Touch Screen based Convertible Tablet. I would buy it without blinking, provided it comes preloaded with Android (Yes, I am becoming a serious Android fan).</li>
<li>I always welcomed the idea of bringing computers to the living room. CES has showcased so many things  including <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2004/jan04/01-07ces04keynotepr.mspx">&#8220;Seamless Computing Vision&#8221; by Bill Gates</a> in CES 2004. To my surprise, this time at CES 2009 ASUS (again ASUS, I know&#8230;) has <a href="http://i.gizmodo.com/5124985/eee-keyboard-an-entire-touchscreen-home-theater-pc/">announced</a> a Home Entertainment variant in a <strong>Keyboard Profile</strong>. What an idea&#8230;take a look at the image gallery from Engadget <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/asus-eee-keyboard-revealed/1261816/">here</a> and see for yourself.</li>
<li>Lenovo IdeaCentre A600 All-in-One Desktop (<a href="http://i.gizmodo.com/5123151/lenovo-ideacentre-600-thinnest-hottest-all+in+one-pc-on-the-block/">here</a> and <a href="http://i.gizmodo.com/5125028/lenovo-ideacentre-600-all+in+one-and-motion-controller-hands-on-aint-no-wii/">here</a>) is a nice to have (could be pricy). I like the aspect ratio, keyboard (with the track pad placed on the right hand, should have been this way everywhere) and their <strong>motion sensitive </strong><strong>remote control </strong>capable of acting as <strong>VOIP handset</strong> and regular remote as well.</li>
</ol>
<p>CES 2009 is a great show. I am eagerly waiting for the CES 2009 Innovations and Tech &#038; Engineering Emmy® Award winners list.</p>
