CES 2010 Highlights: Hands-On With Some the Show’s Most Exciting New Gear

The hands-on blog posts have been coming fast and furious from us over the past week as we sifted through all the exciting new products at CES 2010. Now that we’re back in the office and hopefully so are you, we can look back at all the great things we’ve seen. If you’ve been following our coverage, perhaps you’ve checked out our Best of CES 2010 Awards or our 8 Trends From CES That Will Define 2010 post.  However, you may have missed some of the great gadgets we got to try out last week.

You’ll certainly be seeing all of the new products shown at CES receive more coverage as they hit the market, but it would be a shame to wait weeks or months to see pictures of innovations like the amazing Lenovo IdeaPad Hybrid U1, which has a screen that pops off and turns into a tablet or the dual touchscreen MSI tablet. Look below for our list of the most exciting products we got to play with and links to hands-on videos / accounts we did with them.
