The guys at NotionAddicts recorded our live video of the Notion Ink Adam Tablet interview in which we give the device a fair shake and explain ourselves to the man Rohan himself. He was very gracious and quite generous with his time. The jury’s still out in John’s mind, but we’ll see when the pre-order ships.

They’ll be publishing more of the interview shortly and we’ll have a snipped out version as well soon. What did you think?

T-Mobile just announced an double-fold improvement to their current 4G network and they are now selling the Dell Streak 7, the first 4G tablet. They’ve already announced the G-Slate and we’ve reviewed the Streak 5, reporting that it’s a strong, if tiny, tablet device.

The 4G coverage improves network speed to up to 42 Mbps (your results may vary.) The Streak 7 will be available in the “coming weeks.”

There’s not much to say immediately about the Motorola Xoom, but let’s just say this is giving the iPad a run for its money. Android 3.0 is really nice and the various interface tweaks are some of the best I’ve seen on Android in a while. Check out this short – and canned – video demo and let us know what you think.

You’ve probably heard of Qualcomm, chip maker for almost every non-GSM device in existence and, recently, builder of well-known mobile processors, but Atheros? These guys have been quiet for years.

Atheros makes almost all wi-fi chips built into mobile devices. In short, anything that doesn’t use a cellular network, they’re on top of, and they’ve spurred the evolution of Wi-Fi over the past few years. Now, however, they’re part of Qualcomm, putting that company into a new, extremely lucrative position. In short, Qualcomm now owns a vast swathe of the mobile semiconductor space.

Here we go: the first outrageous claim of CES, right on time. Peep Wireless is attempting to create ad hoc P2P networks between mobile devices by turning them into “client/server viral transmitter/receivers.” What does that mean? It basically piggy backs on the phone’s wireless connection to connect one phone to the next and then route calls that way. Obviously we’re dealing with a few fatal flaws. First, if there’s only one Peep device in the area, you’re SOL. Second, carriers will never allow this, also putting you SOL.

We are winging our way to Las Vegas as we speak so check back here early and often for great news, views, and reviews from the show floor. We’ll be livestreaming most of the show this week, so get your headphones out!

We’ll publish a full schedule of events this evening. Thanks for tuning in!
