Tablets galore on tap at major CES gadget fest - Yahoo! News: "Tablet computers will lead a host of 'smart' gadgets in the Nevada desert this week at a Consumer Electronics Show (CES) spotlighting slick new devices on the horizon.CES attendance in Las Vegas should top the 126,000 figure from the annual event last January and the roster of exhibitors has climbed 2,000 to 2,700.
Internet software will fuse with televisions, cars and even household appliances at CES, where an army of tablets will be unleashed to challenge Apple's winning iPads.
'Certainly the Number One trend will be tablets,' said NPD Group analyst Stephen Baker.
'I think every smartphone and PC (personal computer) company will either have one on their show floor; be showing them behind closed doors, or announcing things.'
CES organizers said that from 40 to 80 tablets could debut at the event that runs from Thursday through Sunday.
Apple sold more than eight million iPads since the California company introduced the tablets in April and year-end sales could surpass 10 million.
