There has been much wailing and gnashing of teeth among vendors of mobile devices and computers since Apple launched the first iPad in 2010. Competitors frantically began announcing plans to bring out their own tablets, most of them running on Google’s Android operating system. Since then, Google has unveiled Android 3.0, aka “Honeycomb,” which is tailored to tablets. A bunch of Honeycomb-based tablets were announced at CES last January, including Motorola’s Xoom; Acer’s Iconia Tab A500; the Asus Eee Pad MeMo, Transformer and Slider; the Dell Streak 10; and the LG G-Slate.
