The trail of iPad Killer has just begun with RIM’s blackpad. If you were hoping for insanely great competitors to iPad, we’ve got Google and Verizon planning to do something with the newly inaugurated Tablet market.
Lowell McAdam, Verizon’s CEO showed that the company was enthusiastic about tablet market. It has to be, with all those credit cards being swiped for AT&T data plans which come compiled with the iPads.
Verizon’s relation with Google has been strengthened especially after the Motorola’s Droid launch which flaunted Google’s Android running on it along with Verizon as its carrier. Mr. McAdam, a spokesperson for Verizon said,
What do we think the next big wave of opportunities are? We’re working on tablets together, for example. We’re looking at all the things Google has in its archives that we could put on a tablet to make it a great experience.
For carriers, the main business is in the cell phone market, but looking at the rapid growth rate, it would be a mistake to leave the netbook and tablet behind. Apple sold about a million iPads in 28 days and more to come, which surely means $$ for Apple and lot many subscribers for AT&T.
The tablet details haven’t surfaced yet, but we are sure the tablet will run the the Android OS. Google did not speak anything except that anyone can use the company’s mobile software to create phones and other devices.
It’s a must on both, Verizon and Google’s part. Verizon must add on more subscribers and has to get into the tablet carrier market because if you see, AT&T apart from the iPad is also the official carrier for Amazon’s Kindle. Google Vs. Apple is already tornado-ing the markets. Google got into the phone market with Nexus one and android, Apple got into the advertising business with iAd. Google needs a tablet of it’s own to grab its age old hold on advertising.
Rest all’s well in the world of tablets for now with iPad stores going out of stock due to excess iPad demands.
