"It's one of the reasons why CES may be inching closer to extinction: so many products are announced at once that each one has a hard time distinguishing itself from the pack. AT&amp;T demonstrated this amply when it let loose a scattershot barrage of new devices Monday \u2014 three from Samsung, one from HTC, two from Pantech, and a couple of intriguing firsts from Sony and Nokia that almost got lost in the shuffle. \nChief among the Samsung Android devices \u2014 all with 4G LTE, all running Android 2.3 \u2014 is the Galaxy Note. This long-anticipated phone-tablet hybrid boasts a 5-inch screen and an \"S-Pen\" stylus for note-taking, cropping and copy-pasting. Samsung has shipped more than a million Galaxy Notes internationally \u2014 although the company won't break out figures for how many it actually sold. \nNo precise word on when the Note will arrive, other than \"soon.\" We'll be getting our own hands-on at the Samsung booth, and we're keen to see for ourselves whether a Newton-like stylus-based device can make it in the U.S., or if Steve Jobs was right when he insisted that a stylus was the death of touchscreens. \nMeanwhile, for the eco-conscious among us who get a little queasy when we consider what all this gadgetry is doing to the planet, there's the Samsung Exhilarate \u2014 a phone constructed from 80% recycled computer parts. Pantech has a couple of devices \u2014 not just the Element, a waterproof 8-inch Android tablet, but also the Burst, a cheap little phone (likely $50) that doubles as a mobile data hotspot. \nAnd Sony? It got around to unveiling its first ever smartphone, the Xperia Ion, which will be exclusive to the U.S. It's a pretty powerful beast with a 12-megapixel camera \u2014 the first smartphone on the market with a camera like that (although, of course, megapixels mean little) \u2014 and it will run PlayStation games, though without the benefit of an external memory slot. The Ion will run on Android 2.3, but Sony has committed to upgrading to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) as soon as possible. \nSee Also: The hottest stories from the floor of CES 2012!\nOn the Windows side of the aisle, AT&amp;T promised the first LTE Windows phone from HTC, the Titan II, running on a 1.5 Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. It also teased a Nokia Windows phone, but we'll have to wait till Nokia's own event to tell you more about that. Nokia, at least, seems to have a good sense of how to build anticipation around the launch of a single device.\nDo any of these products float your boat?
