Paul Otellini, chief executive of the technology giant Intel, outlined how the American company plans to deliver “superior experiences across a range of mobile devices”.

His revelations regarding the Intel technology that will be powering an array of smartphones, tablet computers and ultrabooks in months to come proved some of the most talked about at an event traditionally packed with unveilings and announcements.

Toshiba has revealed its plan to launch a raft of new products at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, with TVs, tablets and PCs being readied for an official unveiling.

New tablet PCs and ultrabooks are expected to provide much of the excitement and interest at CES 2012 and Toshiba is aiming to get in on the act with products to be launched in both sectors. Its new tablet is promised to be the “thinnest and lightest in the world” while its ultrabook will enter the fray at 13.3 inches.

Motorola has confirmed that its first Android tablet, the Xoom, is to be made available in the UK and much of Europe at some point during the second quarter of this year.

INQ’s CEO Frank Meehan has confirmed that the company is making plans to introduce its own Android-powered tablet.

He told Electric Pig that tablets is a “very, strong market”, adding that current Android tablets were falling short of the mark.

“The customer isn’t having a great experience at the moment,” Meehan added, citing the Samsung Galaxy Tab as an example.

Consumers who brought the Kno tablet last year are still waiting to receive their new device due to delays.

The 14-inch tablets, which run on Kno’s own Linux-based operating system, were due to ship on December 21.

Kno acknowledged the delay in a statement given to Engadget but refused to say what was causing it.

Rupert Murdoch has told reporters that he believes the growth of the tablet market will lead to the death of laptops.

The News Corporation CEO made the statement in an interview with Fox Business Network to promote The Daily, the new daily digital newspaper that launched on the iPad this week.

“I really believe that everybody in America who can afford one is going to buy a tablet,” he added. “I think this is the end of the laptop.”
