Verizon, Motorola Working on Android TV Tablet?
Motorola may be working on a Gingerbread-based tablet that will bring Verizon's FiOS TV service right into your hands.
Motorola is reportedly working on an Android-based tablet that will focus on bringing television content to viewers on the go while also addressing the shortcomings of Apple's iPad tablet.
News of an Android-based tablet from the manufacturer was expected, as Sanjay Jha--Motorola, Inc. Co-CEO and Motorola Mobility CEO--said back in May that the company was exploring a possible marriage with Android and a tablet device.
However there's speculation that the Motorola tablet will be part of the company's ongoing relationship with Verizon, possibly incorporating Verizon's FiOS digital pay-television service. Motorola already manufactures the set-top boxes for the FiOS television service, making the migration to the tablet form factor that much easier.
On a technical level, the Motorola tablet is expected to feature a 10-inch screen, two cameras (one for video conferencing and one for pictures), support for Adobe Flash, and offer HotSpot capabilities. It is also expected to be thinner and lighter than the iPad, and use Google's upcoming Android v3.0 aka "Gingerbread," supposedly providing a better experience visually than what's currently seen on v2.2 aka "Froyo."
Until Verizon, Motorola, and Google confirm the report, the news is merely speculation . Currently we're waiting on a response to our query from Verizon, however we're expecting the typical "we decline to comment" statement.
