Motorola has launched a viral market campaign to whip up advance interest in its forthcoming tablet device, expected to be unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January

Google's Andy Rubin was reported to have fronted an event earlier this month with a prototype of the new device in his hand.
