Nexus Tablet coming Next, says Schmidt
Eric Schmidt told an Italian Newspaper that, in the next 6 months they are planning on releasing a tablet of the highest quality, that will be competing against the iPad. Google has been putting out pure devices with the Nexus branding on their phones and maybe, now is the time to start with the tablets.
The Motorola Xoom’s have been the flagship tablets from Google up to now, and that possibly might not change with Google now owning Motorola Mobility. Only time will tell what Google comes out with but whatever it is, they better get ready, if your going to compete with the iPad right now you have an uphill battle ahead.

Editorial: Amazon is about to eat your lunch
Few manufacturers are poised to do what Amazon is about to, dominate both the eReader and the tablet markets. Before you go all “iPad this and that” on me, let me say that currently there is a “tablet market” and an “iPad market”. Amazon will rule the tablet market and it might just give the iPad a run for it’s money over time, but I’m not naive and Apple has a huge head start. What I will say is, all other tablet manufacturers are about to have their lunch eaten by Amazon. Fear not tablet makers, you won’t be alone. All those would be eReader guys will be at the same table with you bitching that Amazon got their sandwiches as well. Read on to see why this Guru believes Amazon has it on lock.
Amazon’s Kindle “Tablet” Could be Huge for App Developers
What does Apple have that every other tablet manufacturer doesn’t? It isn’t magical, it isn’t even revolutionary. It’s an ecosystem. From end to end, the iPad (iTunes) has every piece of content you could want all easily accessible right on the device. It seems no other company understands the power of delivering good content in a fun and easy way except maybe Amazon.
