The hottest new tech of 2012!

On the cusp of this fall’s Windows 8 launch -- and in sync with Intel’s new line of Ivy Bridge CPUs -- this year's Computex tech convention in Taiwan was brimming with devices that blur the line between tablet and notebook.

Yes, the clamshell and slate are this year’s royal newlyweds, the tech world’s answer to William and Kate. It seemed like everywhere we went, someone was showing off a Windows tablet that connects to a keyboard and folds into a laptop or a notebook with a screen that bends backwards to make it a tablet or even a desktop with a screen that detaches.

But convertible computers were not the only exciting new products we saw at Computex 2012. There were plenty of other innovations, from tiny phone projectors to giant Android screens. Here are the six best products of the show.

Best Innovation: Viewsonic VCD22 Android Smart Display

When powered off, Viewsonic's VCD22 Smart Display might be mistaken for a 22-inch LED monitor, but turn it on and your transported into a world of Google goodness. Running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, this touch-enabled device can serve as an all-in-one Android desktop for schools and families that want to run educational software. It can also be used as a kiosk for retailers that want users to, for example, find the right size dress in their stores. Whatever you do with it, the Viewsonic VCD22 brings all the versatility of Android to its large, full HD screen. That's an innovation whose time has come.
