CES 2012: Ice Cream Sandwich

Tablets have been a big topic at CES since 2010, when device makers scrambled to get out in front of the looming release of Apple's iPad. CES 2012 is expected to have more of the same, thanks to the release of Google's latest Android flavor, Ice Cream Sandwich.

Unlike 2011, where the Motorola Xoom was the only device running Google's tablet-specific version of Android (Honeycomb), ICS is already available to any manufacturer who wants it.

Electronics maker Coby plans to debut four ICS tablets at CES, and it's a good bet other tablet makers will follow suit.
