Berlin was the host to a quarter million technology enthusiasts for IFA. Attendees witnessed global premiers of numerous devices, with tablets grabbing the most headlines, though the current patent war between Samsung and Apple also stole some of the spotlight.
We got to spend some hands-on time with the highly unusual Tablet S and Tablet P from Sony at IFA this year, and with a few exceptions, Sony looks ready to impress with its tablet market debut.
IFA has not officially commenced but, as was expected, Samsung has already stolen the show. The Galaxy maker revealed its lineup of new devices before the official start to IFA, and with its Galaxy Tab 7.7 and Galaxy Note, grabbed all the attention.
Thin must be in at Toshiba as the Thrive-maker unveiled the AT200 Honeycomb 3.2 tablet, a device the company describes as "ultra-thin and ultra-light."
It looks like the Samsung Galaxy Q and the Samsung Galaxy Note are one in the same, as the company has added yet another portable device to its Galaxy lineup, and this one is very similar to the PDAs of yesterday.
Add another to the Galaxy Tab lineup as Samsung today announced the Galaxy Tab 7.7, a Honeycomb slate with a 7.7-inch Super AMOLED Plus display at IFA.
If the rumors are true, Toshiba isn't wasting much time in tablet product development, as the company could unveil a follow-up to the Thrive Honeycomb tablet at IFA next week, just months following the Thrive release date.
We knew the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 would make an appearance at IFA later this week, but we didn't know it would come packing 4G LTE.
The border between tablets and smartphones lies somewhere around five inches. Once crossed, large-screen smartphones become small-screen tablets, though the specific size is unclear. This is what makes the rumored Samsung Galaxy Q "tabphone" so unique.
The biggest consumer electronics trade show in Europe, IFA, will open its doors in Berlin on September 2. Samsung is expected to lead with a new Galaxy Tab and the mysterious Galaxy Note, but Sony, HTC, LG and others could impress with new mobile devices.
It looks like Samsung is building a Galaxy Tab for every size as its own Android IFA teaser app has revealed plans for a 7.7-inch tablet.
IFA kicks off next week in Berlin, and just a few days out of the event dubbed "European CES" by organizers, there is very little tablet buzz. That may finally change, as word out of Korea is that Samsung will announce a Windows tablet PC that has a sharp eye on the enterprise.
