In a recent interview with the Italian newspaper, Corriere della Sea,
Google's CEO Eric Schmidt hinted at the possibility of a new tablet that maybe
Nexus branded.
Talking about the late Apple co-founder, Eric said that, 'Steve Jobs was the
Michelangelo of our time. A friend of mine and a unique character, able to
combine creativity and visionary genius with an extraordinary engineering
ability.' He further went on to talk about how Steve realized the potential of
tablet computers outside of organizations, and creating a product with
mass market appeal.
Despite the goodwill between these two, the companies still compete. 'In the
next six months we plan to market a tablet of the highest quality,' said Eric.
However, he made no further mention of whether this will be a Nexus tablet, or a
3rd party tablet that Google will push as much as the Motorola XOOM earlier this
year when it became the first tablet to come with Android Honeycomb.
This new tablet is sure to come with the recently released Android Ice Cream
Sandwich OS, but it remains to be seen what's so amazing about it, apart from
having the new OS, that Google will be marketing it so hard.
