Release Of Honeycomb Tablets Delayed As Xoom Falters

The recent underwhelming sales performance of the Motorola Xoom has several Android tablet manufacturers delay the release of their models. Asus has announced that it will delay the release of the Eee Pad Transformer while HTC has not scheduled a volume production on its HTC Flyer.
The Xoom which was expected to give Apple’s iPad a run for its money suffers from weak sales mainly due to not meeting customer expectations. The Android 3.0 Honeycomb platform still suffers from unstable performance issues and its application library is still limited.

Android Honeycomb

The early entry of the Xoom and its market results has served as a guide for other manufacturers in planning their tablet releases.
Despite having excellent sales record in the smartphone market, the Android platform is still struggling in the tablet scene which is clearly dominated by the iPad. If Google’s tablet platform remains unchanged then manufacturers might opt to use other platforms.

Google’s New Android “Test Market” Leaked Accidentally

The people who run the blog Tech from 10, recently received an unexpected present from Google on their Galaxy S Vibrant. A new Android Market app, which they dubbed the “Test Market”, which they assume is used by Android developers.
The interface was generally the same, but there were a lot of new things to be found. Firstly, there is a new “Content Rating” section for applications, which showed that apps will now be receiving ratings similar to the ones games receive by the ESRB. Screenshots show that there will be an “Everyone” category, but not all of the categories are known yet.

Motorola Droid Pro – Finally, A True Android Business Phone

They’re produced by the Canadian company Research In Motion (RIM for short) and until recently have really been the best choice for any kind of productivity work.

Google Places Two Bets on a Post-PC World

Two gadgets that began shipping last week represent assaults from Google on the dominant model of computing, in which we use a cursor and a keyboard to manipulate boxes and windows on a virtual desktop. Samsung makes the hardware for both: the Series 5 Chromebook notebook, the first computer with the browser-only ChromeOS, and the Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet, whose operating system is the latest version of Honeycomb, the tablet edition of Google's Android mobile operating system.
These products have arrived at a pivotal moment for computing. Steve Jobs popularized the phrase "post-PC era" to describe what's supposed to come next, with the iPad displacing the window-driven, desktop-focused experience that the word "computer" conjures up. Now Google too is offering alternatives to that experience, taking on traditional computing with a pincer movement of tablets and Chromebooks. That the two are advancing together may be either an accident or a deliberate attempt to establish distinct post-PC categories—all we know for sure that Google likes to experiment publicly.
The Galaxy Tab
The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is a close match for—some might say it mimics—that proven PC-skewering weapon the iPad 2. The tablet that I reviewed is a special edition, with Android logos on the back, that was handed out to developers and lent to journalists at the Google I/O conference last month. You can buy it without the decoration for $500 with 16 gigabytes of storage or $600 with 32 GB. It's WiFi-only for now, but a version with a cellular data plan is due out soon.

“A lot of people are curious about this, so I’ll say it directly. I was joking when I mentioned a girlfriend on ‘Immortal Song 2.’ And please, just skip all the rumors about me and other celebrities, please… Like I said before, why can’t you believe in just what we say? 
Why do you believe these rumors and hurt us by telling us that you’re going to turn your backs to us and that you’re disappointed…?

Other people may call me petty for listening to this and that and answering to it all, but I feel that I have to clarify this misunderstanding between B2STs and B2UTYs, so I’m writing this out letter-by-letter with much difficulty.
First of all… There’s a rumor that I have a girlfriend.. That is not the truth at all.. I don’t know where this rumor first began, so I’m not able to say in detail why it’s wrong… It’s both upsetting and disappointing that I have to clarify myself like this.

I don’t know what else to say so I’m just writing and erasing… I’ll just end it here.”
