Scores of tablets were announced and demoed at CES 2011, and while most of them were Android-based, a good chunk ran on Windows 7 and an Intel processor. And why shouldn't there be a bunch of those floating around, what with Google screwing over every other tablet maker by delaying its Honeycomb Android OS? Almost every Android tablet ran on a 2.2 build that was buggy and clearly unfinished. Even the Motorola Zoom, which had an early version of Honeycomb running, demoed the user experience via a video because it didn't want anyone touching the unit. Interestingly enough, the closest thing to a finished tablet at CES 2011 was one that ran on a full-blown version of Windows 7. Though I wouldn't call them all winners, there were several that stood out from the crowd.
