Amazon's cheaper Android tablet to beat iPad

Yes…!!!  Finally “Amazon” is set to launch its well rumored Android powered tablet to break down Apple’s dominancy on tablet market. Most likely, Amazon would like to launch this tablet in upcoming October. Amazon is not the very first company that has plans for beat Apple in tablets market on the bases of fewer prices. Lenovo CEO Yang Yuanquing has already told the media about their upcoming tablet that would be able to beat  Apple’s iPad on price point reduction bases.

Amazon's tablet could be priced at $300 or lower, significantly less than the base-level $500 iPad.

Like Apple, Amazon is also in the business of selling e-books, streaming movies and digital music. The more tablets it has in users' hands, the more e-books it can sell to them -- which is where Amazon is hoping to make even more money. This is the main reason Amazon is willing to sell hardware at a loss.

Several Android tablets have been released this year, which may too heavy, too expensive or just not quite there. That has kept many software developers from creating apps for Android tablets, which causes even more consumers to choose the iPad.

Google doesn't make an exact count of tablet-optimized apps available, but most educated guesses place it in the low three figures. Apple has more than 120,000 apps for its tablet. A blockbuster tablet from Amazon would change things, creating a serious incentive for tablet app developers to work on both platforms.

Tablet War- this time Apple against Motorola

Apple, the maker of the iPad and iPhone has sued three of the largest manufacturers of Google's Android-based devices -- Samsung, Motorola (MMI.N) and HTC (2498.TW) -- for multiple patent infringements across multiple countries, pointing out "slavish copying" of design and "look and feel."

After the success in gaining injunction against Samsung and the distribution of the Galaxy Tab across most of Europe ( That means no sales of the Galaxy Tab are allowed going forward and until the case is resolved. Samsung can’t sell the Tab across Europe again if it loses in court.) Now it has been revealed that Apple also filed a similar injunction request against Motorola targeting the Xoom tablet.

The reference in the suit says that Apple has also filed a complaint over the design of the Motorola Xoom, which runs the Android operating system. But it's unclear if Apple is seeking an injunction that would immediately prevent Motorola from importing the tablets into Europe.

Apple and Motorola are also battling it out in U.S. courts over their competing phones. They have sued each other in court and the U.S. International Trade Commission is investigating complaints made by both companies.

The fate of Motorola’s tablet hangs in the air, and if there are any similarities with the case against Samsung then it’s probably going to result in the Xoom being taken off sale too. However, Motorola is already fighting Apple in the courts over 40+ patents, so they may be in a better position to negotiate with Apple.

As it currently stands, Apple is fairing better against its keytablet and smartphone competitors in the courts. Samsung has been forced to stop selling the Galaxy Tab, HTC is awaiting a decision in November regarding Android, and Motorola has to defend both its patents and devices against the company.

Motorola XOOM Now Available in India, now we wait for the Galaxy Tab 10.1

                                   The much-anticipated Motorola tablet is finally available in India. The device is based on Android 3.0 Honeycomb and the company has announced the WiFi-only and the WiFi+3G models in the Indian market.

The launch comes soon after the announcement of the HTC Flyer and as heard before the company brought the tablet to the market by the end of this month. The tablet is the first Android Honeycomb based device to be revealed to the world which is powered by a 1GHz dual-core Tegra 2 processor and 1GB of RAM.

The company indeed took a long time o introduce the tablet in the Indian market, and along with the HTC Flyer it goes up against Apple’s iPad 2, RIM’s BlackBerry PlayBook and the Acer ICONIA A500 which was announced recently.

In regards to the specifications the Motorola XOOM sports a 10.1-inch TFT display with 1080p HD playback, it has a 5 megapixel rear camera with 720p video recording capability and a secondary 2 megapixel front facing camera, It includes an HDMI port, Bluetooth connectivity, GPS and A-GPS. The device has 32GB of in-built storage expandable using a microSD card. It is expected to have a 10 hours battery life with 3G and about 9 hours with WiFi.

The WiFi-only version is priced at 32,990 INR while the WiFi+3G would be selling at 39,990 INR. We expect the street price to be slightly lesser than the official tags. While the pricing for the WiFi-only version is quite competitive, the price of the Wi-Fi+3G model seems abrupt and now it seems that the launch of Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 would lead to us to the final decisions on the best Android tablet available in India.
