The tablet that Andy Rubin was playing with earlier this month will likely be making an appearance.
Motorola (MOT) just launched their new teaser Tablet campaign aimed at its two biggest rivals, Samsung and Apple (AAPL).

Feel sorry for that poor guy hammering away on that tablet above? He's getting charged a separate additional fee for each different web service he's using.

A long time coming, the combined efforts of major players and successful startups have irrevocably changed the way consumers shop.
In the tech world, 2010 will be remembered for a few newsworthy events. The iPad launched last spring and took tablets mainstream. In August, sales of Android devices trumped iPhone sales for the first time. And just several weeks ago, the industry eagerly witnessed Google's (GOOG) jaw-dropping (and rejected) bid for Groupon.
