HTC and Nokia are manufacturing a few devices running Windows Phone Mango that will be made available on AT&T later this year. HTC’s Titan II Windows Phone touts an insane 16-megapixel camera. And finally, Intel is launching its biggest ad campaign since 2003 to push what it believes is the future of computing: the Ultrabook. There are 75 Intel-powered Ultrabooks already making their way to market. These super thin and lightweight computers are definitely here to stay.

    I’m not too thrilled with any of the Ultrabooks at CES, but the new Windows Mango phones look pretty cool. The real highlight of the show for me has been DISH’s Hopper announcement though. I’ve been wanting to see a whole home DVR from DISH for…well, as long as I’ve worked for them. And the Hopper, with its 250 hours of HD recording, Primetime Anytime, and its slew of other features, looks like it’s going to be well worth the wait. It’s got me psyched!
