Canonical developing Ubuntu OS for tablets
,----[ Quote ]
| Canonical is preparing a version of the
| Ubuntu OS for tablet computers as the
| company looks to extend its presence in the
| mobile space, a company executive said.
|
| Tablets with the Ubuntu OS could become
| available late in winter 2011, said Chris
| Kenyon, Canonical's vice president of OEM
| services. The OS will be a lightweight
| version of Linux with a simplified, touch-
| friendly user interface.

Tablets take over Taipei
,----[ Quote ]
| Google, by making its Android software open
| source and allowing anyone to develop
| anything without all of the cloak-and-
| dagger secrecy and restrictions found in
| the Apple camp, is bound to emerge as the
| platform of choice sooner or later. Adding
| to this momentum is the fact that Android
| will be running on devices from multiple
| manufacturers and carriers; and that around
| 57% of Android's apps are free compared
| with only 25% of Apple's, according to
| analytics from Distimo, a website that
| monitors app stores. In the world of
| technology, the two essential ingredients
| for product success seem to be choice and
| the f-word - "free" - and Google offers
| both.

Android Half-Tablets: Smart Phones with 5 Inch Displays
,----[ Quote ]
| A recently leaked image of a Sony Ericsson
| Android smart phone is gaining plenty of
| attention. The device is rumored to be a
| new handset that will not only have the
| Google open source operating system, but it
| will be able to be used as a mini tablet
| and also as a mini netbook.
|
| These are made possible by a few basic
| features of the Android devices. The slide
| out QWERTY keyboard is the first part,
| while the large 5 inch display and the
| tilting upper face of the device make up
| for the whole ensemble. In many ways, there
| is plenty to be excited about with regards
| to the new Android device âif it turns out
| to be true. For now, we can expect plenty
| of focus on their new device.
