Here are a couple of videos coming out of Taiwan. Honestly, I've been waiting to see what Apple will be offering as far as a tablet based on the iPhone platform. However, if Apple decides to take its time, the mobile itch I feel might just be satisfied with an Android-based tablet.
The first video is a netbook and some PMP. This probably has Windows a bit worried if Google decides to make Android a more robust OS and challenge it in the lower end markets.
The second video is a tablet. Now, not a lot going on there but the possibilities are just endless. However, I wished they had demoed more of the input on the touch-screen and just how thick this tablet is. And as always, the battery life on that baby.
The third video is quite technical so you're welcome to watch it as I did as it shows how hardware companies are approaching Android development and where things are likely to go.
Monday is going to be Apple's day but the 4th quarter of 2009 might be all Android! All I'm asking for from the hardware companies are stability, better UI, and battery life and I'll be sold. Many Android devices to ship end of the year and even more in 2010. Hey, don't take my word for it. It's in the videos.
Note: I think some Android mobile warriors are familiar with Windows-based UMPC and netbooks. Android is built from the ground up for a mobile platform. It'll be interesting to see the distinct directions that the two platforms are likely to go as they clash in the coming quarters.
