"Android interruptus" or tablets Android syndrome that seems to never arrive

The idea of tablets rich and poor tablets that I brought up a few weeks ago, today we add the tablets of lame. They're going to get hopelessly teams with Honeycomb Android hardware that outstanding characteristics but can not withstand the weight of a market dominated by Apple iPad Lacking the most important support: the operating system.

At least the version that has proved able to shade but not just arrived. Summer, that date seared in our calendar, it seems increasingly distant rather than close. The tablets with Android and manufacturers that support should not now think of rivals but in power say they are in the market because it does its great rival can boast in the street, if not its second generation, if at least version 1.5 of its bid.

And there is the risk that the iPad will become the new iPod and the streets, the tablet world inevitably be associated with the model of Apple. In the field of business, RIM will Playbook HP TouchPad and those who have to fight them. As if the tablets of Android version that just did not have enough reach, community walketh android revolt these days Google's decision not to open the version 3.0 to the community ...

of time. The excuse has been that Google has needed several months to close properly the code, but the truth is they want to avoid at all costs that developers play with the code (mainly in mobile phones, which currently do not even want to see Android 3.0). But these doors are not closed for the entire world, and major manufacturers such as Samsung, HTC and Motorola do have access to source code, which is gradually creating a privileged elite about Android and the second marks or developers are more trouble free "competition" from the hand of the free code.

As mentioned, if Android had enough with trying to market a reliable and not just be for months as a promise in the air, there are "sides" in a few months we will check if they are just a bluff or point to the end of a mindset in the software for power to be truly competitive in the market.
