The MoTR gang saw lots of cool gear at CES in January and this week James and I were able to get a hold of the Alex eReader and kicked off MobileTechRoundup show #208 by talking about our experiences with the dual screen device. My girls are checking out the Kin devices and working on a review for ZDNet. T-Mobile announced the myTouch 3G Slide and as previous G1 owners Kevin and I actually think this device may be decent. Other topics we covered included the HP 2740 Covertible, Dropbox and ZumoDrive, and the Intel Atom going to smartphones in 2011.
