Summary: Android grows not just in phones anymore
Nokia/MeeGo
If indeed Nokia is interviewing for a new CEO, it should hire the candidate who tells the mobile giant this:
“I don’t want the job unless Nokia is going with Android.”
Tablets
Android tablets are making their way way into the world and what we’ve seen so far hasn’t been so impressive. The Samsung Galaxy Tab is by far the most appealing. Lenovo is planning on launching their own Android tablet this year. According to Liu Jun, the Senior vice president for Lenovo’s Consumer Business Group, has announced that they will be bringing the Lenovo LePad to compete directly with Apple’s iPad. While the LePad will first be available in their home market of China before they reach out to other markets. Below is an image of their Lenovo LePhone just to give you an idea of what they are capable of.
HP is postponing, if not cancelling, its Android-powered version of its Slate tablet, says All Things Digital. Meanwhile, DigiTimes says Acer will launch both seven-inch and ten-inch ARM-based Android tablets in the fourth quarter.
Hewlett Packard (HP) is working on a variety of tablet PCs, including WebOS, Windows, and Android, reports All Things Digital. However, citing "sources in position to know," the story says that an Android tablet originally rumored to be due in the fourth quarter will be delayed until next year.
