10″ Motorola Tablet Coming with GingerbreadPosted by Owaeis On October - 31 - 2010Get Latest updates from us via Twitter | Facebook | RSS | EmailMotorola Android TabletTablets are hot these days. After iPad’s success, tablets are appearing from every corner. First Samsung Galaxy tab, then RIM’s PlayBook and now it’s Motorola’s turn.The Street TV cites an analyst Ashuk Kumar to report that Motorola is going to unveil an Android 2.3 Gingerbread based tablet this November. The tablet will have a 10 inch touch screen among other usuals.Provided Smsung’s Galaxy S success, we have Galaxy Tab in hands so why not a Motorola Tablet when Motorola has made huge sales with its Droid series phones? Seems very much natural. But a Gingerbread tablet as soon as November 2010? I can’t believe that. Well, I assume that Motorola might announce the device in November with a 2011 release date.No other specs of the device are known yet. We are not quite sure if this is really going to come out or not but let’s hope for good.

The sales have lead to 3.8 million Motorola Smartphone shipped, which include both Droid X and Droid 2.Jha said, "Droid X continues to sell extremely well, and we have had several other successful smartphone launches globally, including the Droid 2, the Ming series in China." It was just a few short years ago, when Motorola was beaten by Samsung, Apple's iPhone and others in the mobile phone market. The inclusion of Android platform is a strategic decision to influence the open-source.Motorola had launched Motorola Droid on Verizon Wireless' network in November 2009. Since then there has been a steady climb in the sales. The company released the Motorola Droid X and later its sequel Droid 2. The Droid X had followed the Sprint HTC Evo 4G and offered a 4.3-inch screen; the Droid 2 offered a faster Droid with much better slide out QWERTY keyboard.Motorola has the biggest best coming up in the fourth quarter, with the launch of the Droid Pro on Verizon's network. The Droid Pro is designed for the enterprises and is based on the Android 2.2. It includes a remote wipe of device, SD card and a complex password support.In spite of Motorola's absolute success, analysts for the Jefferies and Co. consider that Motorola's reliance on Android might be an competitive disadvantage, since Samsung, HTC and others are ready to "tap into the same ecosystem." Moreover, they have said that the development and manufacturing of Motorola still remains at the compassion of Android's release schedule.

Motorola Droid 2 discontinued at Best Buy, two Droid 2 Globals on the way? Do you like this story?It appears that the end of the original Motorola Droid 2 is just about here, a lifespan that lasted a whole two months. So if you really want one, and I’m not sure why you would with what’s on the horizon, you probably want to head out and grab it as soon as possible.That’s right San Francisco; Best Buy has discontinued the Droid 2. In-store displays are being removed and the store’s inventory shows it as being discontinued.Don’t believe me?Check out that internal photo courtesy of Droid-Life.You know what this means right? The release of the Motorola Droid 2 World Edition aka Droid 2 Global is just around the corner. Same deal with the Motorola Droid Pro. In fact, rumor has it that both phones could be out with a bunch of other Verizon devices on November 11th.And if you are still not convinced that the Droid 2 Global exists, Engadget got their hands on a rebate form that shows not only the Droid Pro but two versions of the Droid 2 Global which has led to some speculation that there is going to be a camera-less version for your covert business folks out there.And hey, guess what?The Samsung Continuum is there too, further proof that the ‘Nexus Two’ won’t be the device that’s revealed by Samsung on November 8th

Will HP, Dell, Sony answer 11-inch MacBook Air? | Nanotech

After new arrival 11 inch macbook air,Will HP, Dell, Sony answer 11-inch MacBook Air? Neither Dell nor Hewlett-Packard nor Sony have laptops that compete directly with the 2.3-pound, 11.6-inch MacBook Air. Is this a new market segment that those three laptop leaders and others will have to address?Sony has the Vaio Y series, but that hardly compares with the 11.6-inch MacBook Air.Sony has the Vaio Y series, but that hardly compares to the 11.6-inch MacBook Air.(Credit: Sony)Apple has a knack for creating new markets, the iPad being the most recent example. Though not as groundbreaking or broadly market-defining as the iPad, the smaller Air is clearly unique: wrapped in aluminum, while considerably lighter than a typical 3-pound 11.6-inch laptop. And it packs higher-end silicon--and better performance--than Netbooks. (I spent some time in three different Apple Stores in the Los Angeles area right after the new Airs were announced, and from what I saw, the 11.6-inch MBA elicited the most oohs and aahs--hands down.)I would submit that the Air has wedged itself (pun intended) into an elite sub-2.5-pound laptop segment where little direct competition currently exists. There are hordes of 10-inch class Netbooks out there. But, again, a $350 Windows 7-based Netbook is a very different class of laptop. Then there are products like Dell's 11.6-inch Inspiron M101z. But that is a low-end plastic Netbook-class product.2010 MacBook Air2010 MacBook Air(Credit: Apple)Lenovo--though not listed up top--warrants an honorable mention with its IdeaPad U160 11.6-inch laptop, which has the screen measurements to match the 11.6-inch Air but is about a pound heavier and for all intents and purposes is a fairly conventional Intel Core i series-based laptop that's been squeezed into a tight form factor. And Acer has the 11.6-inch TimeLineX series, but this is three pounds and really not in the same class as the Air.

Apple iPhone Leapfrogs RIM BlackBerry in Smartphone Rankings

Apple iPhone Leapfrogs RIM BlackBerry in Smartphone Rankings  on this Enterprise Mobility story.iPhone 4 sales launched Apple over RIM and into the top-5 list of handset vendors during the third quarter. Smartphones are now a major factor in the overall handset market.Rate This Article:Poor BestE-mail Print PDF VersionApple, Research In Motion and Android phone producers such as Samsung put in strong performances during a third quarter that showed smartphone sales to be very much dictating the global handset market. The handset market also seems to be rewarding phone vendors that are constantly innovating and producing the strongest possible portfolio of smartphones. The launch of the iPhone 4 helped Apple, according to Oct. 28 reports from research firms IDC and Strategy Analytics, join the list of top-five performers for the first time. Apple, such as competitor RIM, only contributes smartphones to the handheld market, and both vendors posted highest-growth rates among the top five vendors during the quarter. “The mobile phone makers that are delivering popular smartphone models are among the fastest-growing firms,” Kevin Restivo, an IDC senior research analyst, said in a statement. “Vendors that aren’t developing a strong portfolio of smartphones will be challenged to maintain and grow market share in the future.”
