Motorola building Ice Cream Sandwich tablet with high-res screen

Motorola has already built and is testing prototypes of the XOOM’s successor, Fudzilla said on Thursday. The device is reportedly much thinner than the XOOM and packs a 10-inch display with a 4:3 aspect ratio and an impressive 2048 x 1536-pixel resolution. While known specs are currently slim, the new tablet apparently runs Android 4.0 “Ice Cream Sandwich” and it’s possible that it will be powered by NVIDIA’s brand new quad-core Kal-El processor. Fudzilla said it’s possible Motorola will launch the tablet sometime this year, but it remains unclear if this will be the previously leaked XOOM 2 or possibly another XOOM tablet. Hopefully we hear more on it in the near future.

    For what? Browsing web pages? 0 Apps on Android Tablet and developer interest dropping like a rock.

    hmmm now that even Android manufacturers are ditching 16:9 display ratio… i wonder what fAndroids got to say about that when they were the first to call the iPad 4:3 display “old” and “useless” LMAO

    • Jedy617

      Yes, but does the iPad have  2048 x 1536-pixel resolution? No, I didn’t think so…..

        Does this new Motorola tablet?  No, I didn’t think so… (It doesn’t even exist yet.)

        Comparing tomorrow’s product with today’s is pointless.

        I smell mobile developers complaining about fragmentation and problems dealing with too many different resolutions. How can these guys cope with such changes.

      • Michael Scrip

        Don’t worry… developers didn’t make many apps for Honeycomb tablets with 1280×800 resolution… I don’t think they are in a hurry to make apps for 2048×1536 either.

      • http://twitter.com/mistercarter7 Mike Gonzalez

        at least there is evidence in iOS 5.0 code that the iPad sooner or later will have a display with such resolution

      You ended with ‘LMAO’ as if something you said was funny. I don’t understand.

      really?  that’s one of the few things that i’ve been saying i liked about the iPad.

    And it will cost 1000 USD… with contract

    What is “LMAO”?

    I keep reading it everywhere.

      you are not serious are you?

        Yes, I am. People keep deforming language faster than I can keep up with it with weird abbreviations, contractions and acronyms.

    Is it always the same people playing troll role play? If android is so bad, cool, why comment? It’s always the first handful of comments too. Do you all sit and wait to pounce? Isn’t your time worth more than that?

      Oh please.  No one trolls like the Android fans.  They’re loud, obnoxious, and everywhere.

        Ah yes, the tried and true x trolls are worse than y trolls argument. That always answers everything. Even if such a childish standpoint were true, why does anyone give enough of a fcuk to stoop to the same level? I don’t think comic book geek wars were ever this bad.

      QwietStorm, the dynamic is pretty well understood.  Apple fans absolutely love their products.  But a few a-holes are smug, superior, snobs and fail to see the limitations of Apple products.  Google fanboys are obnoxious haters that fail to see anything good about apple products and usually go so far as to hate people who like Apple products.  As far as I’m concerned there’s plenty of room in heck for them all.  I want all the cool toys regardless of who makes them.

      Its funny you mention this. Yesterday there was a story here about something apple and before anything apple fanboys just started hating on android. Absolutely no provocation whatsoever, just straight up started talking shit. They sit up on this imaginary high horse and think their shit don’t stink. Its just sad true story.

    all you haters dont reply to my post i gives two shit what you think, suck it. 

    that’s whats up…

    Why don’t these idiots focus on building cheaper Tablets and then when the Market starts gaining traction they can focus on building all these nice tablets. Why would anyone buy a high end tablet if it’s only good to surf the web at the moment.

      Because they heard the iPad 3 rumours and they want to compete since they weren’t ready for the iPad 2.

    why 4:3 ar? does not make sense… just make it fhd and everybody will be happy.

    • Anonymous

      Because 4:3 makes your tablet able to be held *comfortably* in either orientation. 16:9 is the one that doesn’t make sense.

    i need to say this. android brilliant. so much more open than IOS and has many more features. IOS though has the apps that make it what it is today. do not get me wrong i think if android had the development backing that apple does they would be the number one now and apple would be playing catch up. please tell me if i am wrong here but why do not we have the games that apple has? i mean android phones have the capability to offer good graphics and all so why not. as with regarding the tablets i really do not see the use of one when  you can buy a laptop or pc for that kinda money

  • n00btastic

    A high res screen (1920×1080) and Kal-El chip would be an absolute beast of a tablet.  Maybe throw a little 4G action in there?  I love my iPad2, but dang.

    Xoom? Oh, that’s the flop that was released this year was just in Woot’s bargain bin this week. I remember now.

    Just add a USB host and NOT make it over priced, and i might just check it out.

    How about getting the SD slot on the current Xoom to work…

  • Securitywiz

    thanks, I will be returning my xoom and wait for this beast.

  • DEANJA

    Pity they can’t get the current Xoom to function OK

  • paris89

    to be honest apple is okay but andriod is better. apple os is boring as fuck after a month or two the only thing that makes apple iphones and ipads sells are because the apps now apple has way more apps then andriod.
    andriod is better because it gives you more options on what you can do with your device the ipad 2 is okay but it have nothing on tablets like samsung galaxy tab 10.1 hell even the xoom give ipad 2 a run for the money. basically what i am saying is andriod and htc is here and giving apple a run for the money that why apple is tryna file a lawsuit against Htc and Motorola both company are doing real good and apple hate to see that is that wrong no cause this a business but both htc and Motorola have proving that they can make good devices and tablets

    I have had the Xoom & the Transformer and I hate the 16:9 aspect ratio!! It just feels way to narrow!  I like the 4:3 ratio of the iPad soooooooo much better.
