Motorola Droid Tablet Launch Only Next Year

Earlier this month, there were rumors that the new Motorola Droid Android tablet computer – codenamed StingRay – could be launching as early as October of this year. The speculations came about following leaked screenshots from a Verizon inventory system that contained references to the new Droid tablet. However, it now looks like that rumor was false. In a recent chat, Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha has indicated that a Droid tablet may not make it at least until next year till the company was done perfecting all the features. Jha said,

“I will only develop a tablet if it is sufficiently compelling. Hopefully, that is early next year.”

What Jha could be referring to is the fact that the current version of Android OS does not seem to be customized for tablets. Google director of mobile products, Hugo Barra had exclaimed this recently and it is possible that Motorola is waiting for Android 3.0 aka Gingerbread to release before making the new Droid Tablet available in the hands of the public.

Motorola Droid Tablet Computer Launch In November?

We do know that Motorola (NYSE:MOT) is working on tablet computers that may see a end-of-the-year launch. Now according to a note to investors, Rodman & Renshaw analyst Ashok Kumar has speculated that the Motorola Droid tablet PC could be launching at the start of the holiday shopping season – in November.

Now technical specifications of this new device are hard to come by. But it is being learned that the device shall come with a 10-inches display and that the tablet will run on Android 3.0 Gingerbread – not Froyo as speculated. With the latest Android versions supporting Flash on their systems, this could mean a significant advantage to these devices.

Now, there is nothing else that is known. But going by the “Droid” name, we may confirm that the device shall come locked to Verizon – which also seems to confirm that this tablet will work on 3G and not just on Wi-Fi.

Now I can’t wait to hear more about this new tablet.
