Light Touch projection technology turns any flat surface into a touchscreen [Video]
We've seen virtual keyboards before, but the technology has never quite taken off. But this is quite exceptional. UK-based Light Blue Optics (LBO) has unveiled a revolutionary compact projector that lets users interact with images projected onto a flat surface, essentially turning it into a touch screen. Remarkably, it has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, which allows users to access and connect with internet-based applications and engage in social networking and multimedia sharing via the projector itself, which runs Adobe Flash Lite 3.1.

Inbrics MID 1 AMOLED Android handheld makes it to CES 2010
We'll confess to a few fleeting doubts last November when concept footage of Inbrics Android MID was released. We see so many Android devices announced that are then never heard of again, we're sure Inbrics will forgive us for wondering whether it would be the same with them. Well, just to prove us wrong Inbrics have been in touch to confirm that they'll be showing working demo units at CES 2010 this week, and they even sent us a sneak preview shot of just what will be on offer.

Sanyo XACTI SH1 and CS1 hands-on
Sanyo’s two newest XACTI Full HD camcorders only saw their official reveal a short while ago, but we persuaded some executives from the company to demonstrate the VPC-SH1 and VPC-CS1 to us ahead of schedule. The most impressive aspect of the pair is the amount of bulk which Sanyo have been able to shave off: the CS1 (the upright model) is particularly narrow at just 1.06-inches wide, despite being able to capture HD footage.

Microsoft CES 2010 Tablet is HP slate PC not Courier [Video]
Microsoft's CES 2010 keynote is only just starting - plagued by power cuts and temperamental on-stage PCs - but already Steve Ballmer's surprise tablet unveil has been scooped. The culprit is, ironically, Microsoft itself, prematurely posting the press release to their media site. As for that mystery tablet, despite pre-show rumors its turned out not to be the Courier; instead, it's turned out to be an as-yet unnamed HP touchscreen device.

Motorola Backflip hands-on
We hardly waited until Motorola had finished announcing their third Android smartphone, the Motorola Backflip, before heading up to have a play with the handset ourselves, and we have to say we’re in two minds about it. Motorola’s concept is certainly interesting: the nature of the hinge means you can use it as a desk clock and widget station without, say, the dock the DROID demands, but there have been payoffs in the keyboard hardware that we’re note sure are worth it.

Sanyo XACTI VPC-SH1 and VPC-CS1 drop bulk, keep Full HD recording
Sanyo have announced two new XACTI Full HD camcorders, one upright and one a more traditional palmcorder-format, and they've managed to slim down both impressively. The Sanyo XACTI VPC- SH1 is the traditional model, with a 35mm wide-angle lens and 30x optical zoom, Full HD 1080p recording and a body that tapers in sharply after the lens bulk at the front. Meanwhile the Sanyo XACTI VPC-CS1 is the upright model, capable of capturing the same Full HD video as previous high-end XACTIs but only measuring 1.06-inches across.

SlashGear is at Motorola's press conference at CES 2010 today, and the company has just announced the Motorola Backflip. While they're not mentioning carrier partnerships today, it's worth noting that the Backflip image shown now is the same as AT&T showed earlier today.
