Putting away slates haven’t been as easy for other tablet PC makers as it’s been for Apple and Amazon. Even so , other tablet PC makers like Motorola aren’t ready to actually throw in the towel as yet. Allegedly, Motorola has teamed up with Verizon Wireless for the Motorola Mobility Droid Xyboard. What does the new slate bring to a tablet P.C comparison?

Details and Specs

We actually don’t know for certain yet. Motorola and Verizon are keeping it a closely guarded secret about the tablet Computers they have slated for this month. Here’s what we know though: the Droid Xyboard will come in 2 sizes, a 10-inch and an 8-inch; and we’ll be seeing it before the end of the current year. The Xyboard is allegedly thinner than its precursor, the Xoom, and will look a bit like the Droid Razr design-wise. The Xyboard will come with the Android Honeycomb OS, and will have a 1.2 GHz dual core processor and 1 GB RAM.

It shall have rear and front cameras also , 5 MP at the rear and 1.3 MP for the front facing one. It will have the tough Gorilla Glass, and will definitely be lighter and thinner than the Xoom. According to sources, the 10-inch Xyboard model is designed for business use while its smaller sibling edges toward multimedia and entertainment use. The 8-inch model will reportedly have a 2.1 virtual surround sound system (subwoofer included). We’ll know the way in which the smaller Xyboard measures up to the iPad 2 or the Kindle Fire in a head to head tablet PC comparison, and we’ll know for sure once Motorola throws us more info on the new devices.

The Unique Selling Point

However what’s the point of getting together with Verizon when the Xyboard doesn’t look much like it offers anything new, we hear you ask. In fact it does and it’s called LTE, or Long Term Evolution, technology. The Motorola Xyboard will be kitted out with 4G LTE technology, which guarantees faster mobile connection speeds. We’ve yet to hear more about the Motorola’s new slates price-, specs-, and features-wise but we’ll keep you posted once those become available. Will it butt heads with Apple’s iPad 2? Or will it follow in Amazon’s footsteps and offer these at a cheaper price point? We’ll doubtless be seeing it in a tablet Computer comparison against those main two market leaders and other contenders once it hits the stores.

We will see the way in which the devices fare after they hit the market later this month. Hopefully, we shall be seeing them for the holiday season.
