The best chance that android has at knocking the iPad from it's throne could possibly lie with Motorola's newest tablet running Android 3.0 (honeycomb). The specs for the Xoom are astounding as far as tablets go (see below), so what could possibly keep it from killing the iPad? The $800 price tag, thats what. Honestly, Motorola isn't going to gain too much ground with this piece of work with a price like that. Only those who have both a true love of Android and a huge wallet will be buying this one, unfortunately.
Basic Stats:
CPU: 1GHz Dual-Core Tegra 2
RAM: 1GB
Storage: 32gb (expandable)
Resolution: 1280x800
Camera(s): Front- 2mp; Back- 5mp
Ports: HDMI; USB 2.0
Flash support: Yes
This is going to blow the iPad out of the water.
ReplyDeleteLol but iPad 3 rumors are already surfacing, iPad 2 hasnt even been announced. This tablet will most definately be the best android tablet on the market. I'm looking into purchasing one myself.
ReplyDeleteYeah andriod OS tablets are awesome!
ReplyDeleteYeah I think Apple has been beaten at most types of portable technology pretty soundly...and now that the challengers have risen, user created content will follow and Apple will lose more ground to these guys. That said, 800 bucks is a lot - but this thing is pretty sweet, and I'm gonna get a used one ASAP because I'm cheap
ReplyDeleteAndroid > Windows Phone > Apple
ReplyDeleteVery very cool. As incredible as it is though, I would wait for it to come down in price.
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling that pricetag is going to fall, and fast at that
ReplyDeleteYeah those specs sound amazing but an $800 price tag is just not going to fly. It's going to get there though, I'm just waiting to get to a point where I realize I don't need my desktop or even a laptop anymore. Maybe in 5 years!
ReplyDeleteI almost bought an ipad when i got my tax return... maybe i should be waiting for something more like this?
ReplyDeletesuck it ipad :)
ReplyDeleteWow, looks way better than iPad!
ReplyDeletewow, nice
ReplyDeleteSpecs are looking pretty nice. I wonder how much of the RAM is eaten up by the system software?
ReplyDeleteNice, been looking at tablets for a while, mainly at the ASUS ones, however this one does look interesting.
