Before this month, Motorola's Google Android 3.0 HoneyComb OS running tablet - was rumored as MOTOPAD - and was reportedly spotted online. Earlier, on December 6, Google VP of Engineering Andy Rubin had shown Google's next major Android Update - Honeycomb at the D: Dive Into Mobile Conference. While we eagerly waited for the details of this MOTOPAD, Motorola' s official Twitter account shared a link to the tablet's teaser video. Though Motorola hasn't specified anything on unveiling it, we expected to catch a glimpse of it at Consumer Electronics Show starting January 6, 2011.
Motorola Tablet's teaser video does not show much about the MOTOPAD, but it certainly features current rivals Apple iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab. These are the two tablets widely available. Since RIM hasn't released the PlayBook tablet yet, it won't be in the picture. In the Twitter update, Motorola simply stated, "Might want to hold off on that tablet purchase until 2011." However, it doesn't specify or promise unveiling or launching it on a specific date/month.
So far we have a rough list of MOTOPAD specifications that state it has a 10.1-inch screen with 1280x800 pixel resolution support. Under the hood, the tablet will run NVIDIA Tegra 250 System-on-Chip running at 1GHZ with 512MB RAM. Google Android Honeycomb update is said to be optimized for running on large screen tablets and devices. However, we're yet to get a glimpse of a working model.
