So the hype around Android 3.0, or otherwise known as honeycomb, has got me excited and itchy to get a honeycomb tablet. I posted a YouTube link of the Motorola Xoom add on my facebook and got an interesting topic going with my friends. The debate starts with a statement that Motorola (read Google Android if you want) will alway be following what the iPad does. In some way that is true as Apple did release the first consumer ready device. Was their success due to making their phone 4 times larger and a great marketing campaign? Well it obviously did, with something like over 1 million units sold (some really big number), that just doesn't compute in my head, maybe my IQ is higher than the average iPad user.
So will Android overtake Apple iPad? We will have to wait and see... I feel Android has a better chance as they saw their phone OS was good, but just making the icons lager for the tablet was not going to be good enough, they redesigned it and released a tablet optimised OS.
The debate will continue whether its about tables or phones or cars we all have our own opinions and views and at the end of the day all that matters is that you are happy.
From what I think may be the beginning of a new era I look forward to the possibilities of how this is going to change the world IT - from needing to be 'computer literate' to instinctively touching a screen; from computer geek to the general consumer: maybe one day soon more people will own a tablet than a PC... As a computer techie/geek what am I doing for that change?
