Android should steal the spotlight in Verizon’s upcoming devices lineup, if the information from BoyGeniusReport’s sources is accurate. The site reports that two Android-based tablets are in the works from both Samsung and Motorola, with 7-inch and 10-inch screens respectively.
The Android tablets from Samsung and Motorola, running on Verizon Wireless’ network, would come with processors above 1GHz, and have front-facing cameras for video calls, the report says. Powering the tablets would be Android 3.0, which is rumoured to feature an overhauled user interface, to rival Apple’s acclaimed iOS.
All these rumoured Android tablets and smartphones come alongside Monday’s latest batch of Verizon iPhone rumors, which is now said to come in January 2011. Whether this turns out to be true as well, it is yet to be seen. Regardless, it looks like Verizon is ramping up its Android army, to tackle the iPhone 4, which is still selling strong, despite the Antennagate problems.
The said tablets from Samsung and Motorola also join the Android tablets fray coming up this year, as a response to the increased popularity of the Apple iPad, which now sold over 3 million. All its competitors so far, are still scraping their products for a launch later this year.
