New iPad competition: These are the first honeycomb Tablets

2010 was the year of the Tablets? No way! In 2011 it will go right to the flat machines. Tech Buzz News explains what the new generation of devices to check that the new operating system will run soon on mobile phones, what alternatives are - and how Apple might respond. Motorola will make the start, that's for sure.

At CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in early January in Las Vegas, the mere rumor that the U.S. company will show a honeycomb Tablet have been enough to attract hundreds of journalists to the Motorola press conference. They were not disappointed. In fact, Motorola was the Xoom, a 10-inch Tablet with Honeycomb out - in theory at least.

For what the top managers of the now-called Mobility Motorola cell phone company as shown on their PC send flounder were videos. Android 3.0 at the time was not yet clear presentable, yet stable enough for a big show before the audience. But even now was on 2 February successfully from Google itself made up and brought to light in features and capabilities that make the tablet with Google operating system to a serious competition for Apple's iPad.

Open until now remained only the question of when the first of the honeycomb is because tablets are used in the trade. Which seems now an employee of the U.S. retail chain Best Buy to have answered. On the Facebook page of a Best Buy store in the U.S. state of Michigan, he published the dates for the sales launch of four new devices, including Motorola's Xoom.

Accordingly, the Motorola flounder from 24 be February in the trade. Those heading out the same morning at seven clock to shop opening to be able to show off not only with being the first, they will also hold a tablet in his hands, which leaves the competition in some ways behind. With dual-core processor, HDMI TV output and a high-touch screen with 1280 x 800 pixels, it is in any case at the top of the pecking order.

Whether you want to use it effectively with its 5-megapixel camera as a camera, is a question, which is also investigating whether one has a sufficiently well-trained arm muscles. The front camera for video chats, however, is a useful goodie. Even more useful is that Motorola promises you'll be able to upgrade the Xoom to LTE, which will allow future mobile networks, data rates of more than 100 megabits per second.

A double eye of LG But anything can rival the worst of Xoom also - and more. This competitor is the G-Slate of LG Electronics. In the U.S., the device whose screen is 8.9 inches smaller, exclusive to T-Mobile. This is right from the start, the mobile technology LTE, together with his two cameras and an HD video output for TV on board.

Above all, the G-Slate will be equipped with a stereo camera, so it can take photos and videos in 3D. Furthermore, in what way these photos you can also look at the screen in three dimensions, there are different rumors. According to this, some Bogger assume that the display can produce without glasses 3-D images.

Such technology is already there in small to Nintendo's new console, mobile and 3DS into something larger in a couple of Toshiba TVs, which are sold exclusively in Japan and even there only at exorbitant prices. More likely than the integration of such a very expensive display is therefore to believe that the also called Optimus pad device attached to a 3-D glasses.

But - Caution - LG uses this apparently non-modern (expensive) shutter technique, but red-blue glasses, as we know it from the 3-D movies of the fifties and seventies. So you can see 3D, but only in black and white. At least if you connect the slate to a 3-D TV, but you should be able to see his films in color.

So no harm by jerky, LG has installed nVidia's Tegra-2 chips, so a dual core processor that is optimized for graphics performance. Furthermore, as already installed at the factory 32-gigabyte memory, are likely to be the subject have done a lot of storage expansion for Slate buyer first.
