CES 2011 Microsoft Keynote confirmed, will Steve Ballmer try again to show an iPad Killer?

CEA, the organizers of the CES 2011, announced that Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer will be again delivering a preshow keynote address at the CES 2011.
The CES 2011, the world's largest consumer technology tradeshow, is scheduled January 6-9, 2011, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Steve Ballmer will kick off the 2011 International CES with a preshow keynote address at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, January 5, in the Las Vegas Hilton Center.

In previous years, Microsoft has used the CES keynote stage to launch major products including Xbox, Windows Vista and its Sync technology partnership with Ford.
I assume at the CES 2011 Microsoft will have a lot to say about Windows Mobile 7 and maybe something to compete with the Apple iPad. The HP Slate he showed at the CES 2010 got scraped.
