If you’re excited about the new Android tablets, don’t be – so, comes the announcement by Google. Tej Kohli Blog brings you the complete story:

Is Google’s Android power tablet going to give Apple’s iPad a tough competition? It definitely will, but it will take more efforts than simply slapping the OS on a big-touch screen device. Google will need some serious rework. The android’s interface makes use of the extra pixels and real estate on a tablet, just like Apple did when it put the iOS on the iPad.

Android’s two upcoming versions – Gingerbread and Honeycomb – are going to be built keeping tablets in mind. At present, the best thing a hardware manufacturer can do is to put Android 2.2 Froyo on a tablet and rework it to handle the new form factor. But it seems Google doesn’t like that idea!

“If you want Android market on that platform, the apps just wouldn’t run, [Froyo] is just not designed for that form factor,” said Hugo Barra, Google Mobile head. As a matter of fact, Google disallows the use of its Android Market app store on tablets at the moment-Samsung’s Galaxy Tab apparently avoids this restriction by being, technically, a giant phone rather than a tablet.

The Galaxy Tab will likely be the first semi-plausible iPad alternative, in the Europe at least, where it is slated to launch next month. It seems, Samsung has reworked its built-in Android apps like email and calender by itself. But Barra is correct. The device will be constrained by the fact that third party Android apps are made for undersized smartphones, not for the tabs which are much larger.

For all the iPadversaries that have already been released or announced, the category is still in a sort of dress rehearsal stage. While people are excited about the potential of a tablet-friendly version of Android, as well as HP’s upcoming WebOS tablet, but we still haven’t seen any concrete proof that any software company except Apple has figured this stuff out.

This is a [...]]]> Apple’s ipad, a new iphone-esque mobile computing device, may have a lot of new features, but it still has a lot of features missing in it. Tej Kohli Blog enlists the 10 important features it does not have:

1. Flash: The ipad uses safari browser which doesn’t have flash, just like the iphone. This is a huge drawback.

2. No camera: It does not have a user facing camera to enable video conferencing/video chats. This feature was at top on the list of expected features, but apple disappointed users.

3. No multitasking: Even though apple has rearranged iPhone’s OS in a new way to work on the new apple iPad, it still fails to run the background processes. This again is a big detractor.

4. No Verizon: Verizon Wireless is not providing the 3G wireless service which comes as a choice with iPad. Instead of Verizon, AT&T is providing this service.

5. No wide screen display: Although you can watch HD movies on its 9.7-inches display, it fails to match the 16:9 standard screen dimension that many of the other modern devices support.

6. No Mac OS: The iPad works on a new processor A4, manufactured by the Apple itself. It runs at 1GHz, which appears suitable for an iPhone OS, but it doesn’t run the more efficient full OS X, something which would have really made the device rock.

7. No GPS: There is an accelerometer for a great gaming experience, but there is no GPS. This means Google Maps will have to rely on 3G and/or Wi-fi to locate the iPad. Too much to replace your smartphone.

8. Enough Storage: iPad can sync content with iTunes and users can add/remove content as they wish, but the maximum space of 64 GB is not sufficient, especially for those who are a lot into games, movies and music.

9.Removable Battery: Following the footsteps of iPhone and the newer laptops, which don’t have a user-removable battery.

10. No HDM1: It doesn’t feature an HDM1 port, which makes it incompatible with all the modern HDTVs.
