The very best gadgets of CES
2012 is what we bring you at Pocket-lint, but this page right here is even
better. It's the best of the best, the best-est, the tip top, the A-No.1 As far
as the hottest gadgets of world's largest consumer electronics trade show
goes.
Throughout our time in Las Vegas this year, the team will be updating this page with the devices that really catch our eye. So, if we think something has a bright future, is highly original or just gets our geek juices flowing for some unknown reason, you'll find it here. These are the hottest gadgets of CES 2012 and the ones we think you should be taking notice of.

The Android 4.0.1, 10.1-inch tab boasts a Full HD 1080p resolution and what
appears to be SIM, micro-USB, micro-HDMI and audio jack fun too. There's a
camera on the back, purportedly a 5-megapixel one that can shoot HD video, but
we couldn't get that confirmed. Read

In terms of glassware, it's reported that the X-Pro 1 will get three prime
lenses - an 18mm F/2, 35mm F/1.4 and 60mm F/2.4?macro. The other thing to note
about the X-Pro 1 is that it offers a hybrid viewfinder similar to the highly
acclaimed one in the X100.

The Twenty comes equipped with a power connection and mount for Airport
Express and features a 2.1 channel sound system with 20W output per channel, as
well as offering users the chance to plug in a powered subwoofer with an
automatic active crossover at 80Hz. Hands-on

The system works using not just an Intel CPU, but also a dual-core Qualcomm processor too. Using a processor like this obviously cuts power consumption enormously, and while you won't be able to run games and other Windows applications, it's ideal when you need a bit of stamina from your laptop.
It's nice and slim too, making for a laptop that has all of the advantages of
a Windows-powered computer, but with some additional benefits too.

iPad owners will, no doubt, have been waiting for this for some time. It's
just amazing it's taken this long for someone to invent a guitar shaped case for
the iPad. Of course, the idea here is that you can play guitar on your iPad,
whilst looking like some sort of idiot at the same time.
The good news is, for a modest 65 quid, you do get a bit of kit that, when
linked to an Ion application, can teach you how to play the guitar. It does this
with lights that illuminate where your fingers need to be. Is it a serious tool,
or a money-wasting gimmick? We'll investigate when it eventually launches in the
UK. For now though, at least it takes pretending to be Slash to a whole new
level.
?
There's a 1.5Ghz dual-core TI processor here too, and 1GB of RAM, so it's
diminutive size shouldn't mess up its performance at all. The phone will also
ship with Android in its Ice Cream?Sandwich?flavour, which is a relief, as a
phone this slim deserves a full-fat OS.
?
What's more, the asking price of $8000 (?5188) sounds like a bit of a bargain
to us. Although it's not cheap, compare it to the launch prices of LCD and
plasma TVs, and it stacks quite favourably. And with OLED offering super-fast
refresh rates and amazing colour, this could be the start of something very
exciting.
Of course. OLED has a lot of quirks too. Panels are said to have a short lifespan, and their vivid colour might look good on demo loops, but how will it look showing an episode of Eastenders?
?
But design gimmicks aside, we have a lot of love for this phone already. It looks stylish, cool and subtle. It's also likely to be one of the first phones to do away with the Sony Ericsson name. It is not, however, going to be one of the first phones of 2012 that has Ice Cream Sandwich but an upgrade is promised this year

Acer Iconia Tab A700
We all went "ooh" when the?Acer Iconia Tab A200 was officially announced earlier back in December but then went "boo" when we found out it was a Tegra 2 machine and not a much anticipated Tegra 3 flavoured one.?But our Kal-El Iconia expectations look set to be met with the Ice-Cream Sandwich-packing Acer Iconia Tab A700 now confirmed as a quad-core device
?
Fujifilm X-Pro 1
Take the hugely successful retro-styled, APS-C sized sensor camera that is the Fuji X100, give it a mount for interchangeable Fujinon lenses and you've got yet another red hot gadget from CES 2012.?The Fujifilm X-Pro 1 is a 16-megapixel machine with the added benefit of Fujifilm's now familiar EXR technology.
?
Griffin Twenty
The heat from the Griffin Twenty is all about the fact that it can turn any speakers into AirPlay ready ones saving you the chore of having to upgrade if you want to stream your music around your house. The new gadget uses an Airport Express to capture the AirPlay stream, decodes it, then sends the lossless, amplified sound through any speakers connected.?
Lenovo X1 Hybrid
A clever idea from Lenovo makes for a laptop that can provide far greater battery life for day-to-day tasks than a normal, Windows-based PC. For things like surfing the net, watching video or writing documents you just put Windows in to sleep mode, and switched to a Linux-based OS.The system works using not just an Intel CPU, but also a dual-core Qualcomm processor too. Using a processor like this obviously cuts power consumption enormously, and while you won't be able to run games and other Windows applications, it's ideal when you need a bit of stamina from your laptop.

Huawei Ascend P1 S
Had you read this article yesterday, we might have been telling you about a different phone here. But the current champion in the "world's?slimmest?phone" stakes is the Huawei Ascend P1 S, which is a lot?thinner?than that?clumsy?name. But, with a depth of just 6.68mm, it certainly is a tiny little thing.?

LG 55EM9600 OLED TV
OLED TVs are something of the tech industry's unicorn. They're exciting, but pretty much mythical. Until now that is, because LG is finally showing of a 55-inch TV, beating the previous record set by Sony of 11-inches in a production model.Of course. OLED has a lot of quirks too. Panels are said to have a short lifespan, and their vivid colour might look good on demo loops, but how will it look showing an episode of Eastenders?
?
Sony Xperia S?
Sony might have some troubles at the moment, but in phones it seems to have finally cracked the winning?formula. The Xperia S proves this by rocking up at CES with a 720p HD screen, 1.5GHz processor and built-in storage of 32GB. It also has a little bit of clear plastic that makes it appear as if it's in two pieces.But design gimmicks aside, we have a lot of love for this phone already. It looks stylish, cool and subtle. It's also likely to be one of the first phones to do away with the Sony Ericsson name. It is not, however, going to be one of the first phones of 2012 that has Ice Cream Sandwich but an upgrade is promised this year
