The Marketing Explorer

Android(s goog) was everywhere I turned this past week at the 2013 International CES, running on televisions, phones, tablets and any other device that manufacturers can think of. None of the current major Android players had much to offer however, as many mobile devices running Android debuted before the show. I’d expect a few more Android product announcements in the coming weeks; perhaps at next month’s Mobile World Congress.

Huawei was on hand to show off it latest wares, including the 6.1-inch Ascend Mate. While the large screen looked fine with its 1280 x 720 resolution, I think that display is large enough for Huawei to push the envelope into higher resolution. That would also push this phone into offering a more tablet-like experience. The Mate uses Huawei’s own processor design and the company said this week that its next chip will have 8 cores.

Vizio is another company…
