Netbook Navigator showcases tablets at CES [CES 2011] Netbook Navigator’s Nav9 tablet didn’t make enough waves to challenge the iPad when it was first announced, but the company is back again at CES 2011 with three new tablet devices – the Nav7, an updated Nav9 and the Nav10i.

The Nav7 is a 7-inch tablet powered by an Intel Atom processor that offers a multi-touch display and an integrated touchpad and mouse buttons on the back. It features an SSD drive for storage and measures in at 0.7-inches thick and weighs 1.7 pounds.

The Nav9 is pretty similar with its predecessor and is powered by an Intel N450 processor, offering an 8.9-inch display, multi-touch resistive display and a low-pressure resistive touchscreen display.

Finally, the Nav10i will offer a capacitive multi-touch display, an Atom N455 processor and measures in at just 0.6-inches thick.

CES: CES is the acronym for the (International) Consumer Electronics Show, one of the largest consumer-electronics shows in the world. Although it is held in Las Vegas today, the first CES happened in June 1967 in New York City and Bob Gavin, the CEO of Motorola was the opening keynote speaker for that first edition. Subsequently, CES was held twice a year: the summer edition was in New York, and the winter edition was in Las Vegas, that is, until 1998 when CES became a once-a-year show. CES has been the introduction place for key products and technologies, including: Pong (1975), Nintendo NES (1985), Tetris (1988), Compact Disc (1991), HDTV (1998), Xbox (2001), Blu-Ray (2003), OLED TV (2008).
