Motorola's 10-inch Honeycomb tablet meets Mr. Blurrycam, shows off Verizon logo

By now you're probably familiar with this slate, seeing as how Google's Andy Rubin recently unveiled it on stage, but we're willing to bet you've never seen the top edge -- you know, the part now bearing a front-facing webcam and a conspicuous Verizon tattoo. Yes, this is Motorola's 10-inch Honeycomb tablet, and it's playing for Team Red just as foretold, though the tipster who obtained these images isn't sure whether it will bear the name Stingray, Everest or even potentially "Trygon." Spec-wise, we're told our previous tipster was right on the money, and it'll have a 1GHz Tegra 2 T20, a gyroscope and 32GB of storage underneath that 1280 x 800 multitouch screen, as well as 512MB of RAM and and a slot for an up-to-32GB microSD card. It also sure looks like there's a micro-USB jack, a mini-HDMI port and a 3.5mm headphone socket, as well as some contacts for a likely dock, though as always Mr. Blurrycam's handiwork is such that we can't quite tell. No matter -- see for yourself in the gallery below.

Honeycomb Motorola Android tablet previewed by Andy Rubin

12/07/2010 04:55:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , , , , , 0 Comments


Google’s Andy Rubin has previewed Motorola’s Android tablet prototype, confirming that the mysterious slate does indeed run the tablet-centric version of the mobile OS, Honeycomb. Full specifications are unclear at this stage, but the unnamed tablet apparently uses a dual-core NVIDIA processor.

Rubin went on to confirm that Honeycomb was indeed due sometime in 2011 – he wouldn’t be any more specific than that – and then ran through a very brief demo of the tweaked OS. That has a feel more like a mainstream platform, with a bar running along the bottom of the screen for launching apps, and windowed task-switching, than its current mobile counterpart.

Motorola has been tipped to be developing both 7- and 10-inch versions of their Android tablet, and it’s unclear which Rubin’s demo model is; it looks, from the image, more like a larger slate.

LG Pad coming in Q1 2011, with Android Honeycomb, dual-core Tegra 2, and 8.9-inch screen

Want some specificity about LG's super-duper tablet roadmap? Last we heard from the Korean tech giant, it was canning plans for a Froyo slate and looking forward to a more suitable iteration of Android, which a senior official at the company has today clarified to mean Honeycomb, describing it as the "tablet PC-version" of the OS. He's even gone beyond the call of PR duty in placing a release schedule for the 8.9-inch LG Pad in the first quarter of 2011, boasting that it'll come with a dual-core Tegra 2 chip inside. That sounds terribly delicious to us, as does the note that LG has worked hard to accommodate the needs and wants of European and North American consumers -- the release window is explicitly said to be for both domestic and overseas markets.

Update: We've just heard back from LG on the matter and the company says it has nothing official to tell us. It'd seem whoever the cited official in this piece is, he was dishing details that LG doesn't want the world to know yet. LG's PR team has also pulled a tweet about this story, ostensibly to cover its tracks.

Samsung confirm Android 3.5 Honeycomb for tablets

Samsung weren’t content outing their Galaxy Tab slate at IFA 2010 this morning; they also decided to scoop Google on the next version of Android after Gingerbread 3.0. During a Q&A session, the company’s executives revealed that Samsung plans to release a larger tablet based on Android 3.5 Honeycomb, a version of the platform that Google are yet to publicly confirm.

It was also mentioned that the Galaxy Tab would eventually get an upgrade to Android 3.0 Gingerbread (which is expected later in 2010), though no 3.5 Honeycomb update was mentioned. No actual features or specifications for Honeycomb were confirmed, though it was said that it was tailored to larger-screen tablets.

The Galaxy Tab will launch running Android 2.2 Froyo, and is expected to drop later this month in the UK and then follow on in Asia, the US and Korea.
