Technological advancements are nowhere more apparent than at the annual CES show in Las Vegas. For much of the equipment, faster and smaller seems to be the main theme.
Powerline and Wireless Networking
In networking, powerline throughput speed can now support 500 Mbps under the IEEE 1901 standard, more than the double that of the HomePlug AV standard. Trendnet TPL 401E and the XAVB5004 by Netgear are just two of the faster powerline products on display.
Wireless networking also got faster with vendors switching from the 300 Mbps dual-stream standard to the 450Mbps speed of the three-stream standard. Netgear and Trendnet also offer networking that supports the increased speed as does D-Link. Netgear also introduced a hybrid wireless router that, for the first time, has integrated support for powerline networking.

Honeycomb and Motorola
For software, one of latest advancements powers the latest gadget. Honeycomb is an operating system developed by Google and used on the Android platform. It was designed to be used on tablet-sized screens rather than smaller devices like cell phones. With Honeycomb, Android users can access more than 100,000 apps, and customize their screen for 3D viewing. The upgraded Web browser also provides cool features like syncing with Google Chrome bookmarks and going incognito when browsing the Internet.
The perfect equipment for using the Android Honeycomb mobile operating system is on Motorola’s Xoom tablet. It has a 10-inch screen for optimal viewing pleasure, front- and back-facing cameras (so you can see yourself coming and going), HDMI out and it is dual-core, 4G compatible.
Tactile, Portable Gaming Device on the Horizon?
Razer, the makers of peripherals for computers such as the mouse has extended its hand to create a portable gaming device with a touch screen and dynamic tactile keyboard that runs on the Intel Atom platform. This amazing concept does not have a production schedule yet.
