Is Motorola prepping an Android 2.3 Gingerbread?

Posted: 14 Apr 2011 05:12 AM PDT

Though Motorola might have brought world's first Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet, they appear to be developing a tougher model. If rumors are to be believed, then this new tablet would be more application friendly and rugged to absorb physical shocks.

This new tablet would run on Android 2.3 Gingerbread and not on Honeycomb. This 7- inch tablet might appear back dated considering its operating system. Android 2.3 Gingerbread would be a high-end tablet targeting the enterprise segment. This device is being specifically designed to withstand a drop of four feet, dust, extreme temperatures, and resistance to water.

The other specifications should include: 1GHz dual core processor, RAM of 1GB, internal storage of 8GB, 1.3 megapixel frontal camera, rear camera of 8 megapixel and HDMI port. Other integrated features comprise USB connectivity, WiFi, and Bluetooth. With beta testing of this item expected to start in October 2011, this tablet is unlikely to arrive before 2012.

 

Apple has not yet set a roadmap for iPhone5 production

Posted: 14 Apr 2011 05:06 AM PDT

With unlimited rumors regarding release of iPhone5 no exact date could be specified. However, a summer launch seems improbable though it is not ruled out completely. Fact is, when Apple has not declared a date for launching iPhone5, a 'delay'  is irrelevant. As of date, Apple has not yet finalized the roadmap for iPhone5 production.

DigiTimes has reported that Apple has not provided details for iPhone5 production which leads us to believe that this model is unlikely to be released before 2012. Market speculation is that iPhone5 might not arrive till September 2011 or even later as there are is shortage or components. Until there are any official statements from Apple nothing definite could be said about the release of this device.

With Verizon iPhone introduced in February this year, it is reasonable to believe that Apple would give some time before releasing a new model.

LG Optimus 2X Gingerbread Update may come in June-July

Posted: 14 Apr 2011 12:24 PM PDT


We are really waiting for the Gingerbread update for the LG Optimus 2X as it might make the world's first dual core phone a bit faster. LG did promise an update to Android 2.3 for the device which is currently running Android 2.2 FroYo. Now LG Denmark's support pages for the device has spilled the beans about the release date for the much awaited update. While we are not sure if this news applies only for Denmark or for all markets where the device is launched. But we are glad that this seems like a sign that the update is in the works. Users are also waiting for an update for the Optimus One.

Gartner: Apple to dominate tablet market till 2015, Android will grow rapidly

Posted: 14 Apr 2011 09:14 AM PDT


Recently we told you that Gartner is predicting that by 2015, Android operating system will be conquering the mobile market and WP7 will be runner-up. Now Gartner is back again with another chart in which they are predicting about tablets. We are in the beginning of 2011 and we have already seen a lot of tablets, so that's why we are calling 2011 year of tablets. A lot of manufacturers are planning to launch tablets this year and most of them are Android powered. So where do you think Android and iOS will stand in 2015 if we talk about tablets. Let's talk about it. In 2010, iPad market share was 83.9% and now it's 68.7%. Anyone know the reason of this fall? If you are thinking its Android then you are right. In 2010, Android share was 14.2 and now it's 19.9. Other OS's are way too far from iOS and Android. If you are thinking that Android will beat iOS by 2015, then correct your facts because iOS will still lead but every year, its market share will drop gradually and probably by 2016 or 2017, Android will take it down. As you can see in the chart, Android ...
