The current tablet wars





If we consider this to be Specs race, then the Motorola Xoom is winning. Motorola was right, they are the current tablet that supports LTE 4G. Facetime is great, but you can't do it on 3g, so it is waste. The HP Touchpad is now feeling old, and it reminds me of last years HP Slate. The hardware of the iPad 2 is great, but iOS is still lacking. Honeycomb and WebOS offer a better tablet interface. You can't say that there is 100 apps on honeycomb, since the platform last launched last week, and the iPad didnt have many apps when it launched. Also, honeycomb tablets have not launched in full force yet. It was launched in the US, but the global launch is still going on with Samsung & LG. So it is too early to call the winner, but I think this time next year we can probably say who is the winner. I have a strong feeling it will be Android and iOS.

Windows Phone 7


Windows Phone 7, we have been hearing about it for over a year, and it is only on one carrier (The Dell Venue hasn't launched for T-Mobile yet). I don't understand why it hasn't truly made its way to T-Mobile and Sprint, where the true windows mobile fanboys are. Of course the sales are low right now since they are selling it to the wrong people. Just like android, at first it was only sold to T-Mobile customers who at the time weren't embracing data plans at that time, but once it launched on verizon people were craving a feature-full smartphone
