There will be many, many Android tablets released this fall with many vendors - including Verizon - targeting Black Friday for their releases. One of the major flaws that I have seen in my reading of the upcoming release of Android tablets is that many are based on older versions of Android. My phone has a newer version of Android than some of these tablets will. I would hope that you could upgrade the version of Android on these tablets.

I am looking forward to the release of these devices. It will be an interesting fall.

Good article, with I'm sorry to say a lot of truth in it.

As a user of, I think, the 1st android device (G1) I am amazed that Dell is offering their new tablet w/ the same version of the OS that I'm plateaued at.

I do disagree with the writer though on one thing, since android has not released a tablet specific version of the OS then obviously the vendors developing platforms will have to add a lot of features to the basic OS.
