Going into CTIA, who would have thought that the most newsworthy tablet launch would come from a Chinese device maker with an odd name better known for mid-range Android tablets that are more often found overseas than in America?ยป Read Article
CTIA kicks off this week, and while smartphones are the focus, manufacturers have used CTIA for major tablet launches. However, with Samsung cancelling an event in which it was set to demo "Ice Cream Sandwich", this CTIA is shaping up to be light on tablets.
The Huawei MediaPad is coming to T-Mobile under a new moniker, the SpringBoard.
In a just released note, Samsung's director of PR, Kim Titus, stated that Samsung has postponed its Samsung Mobile Unpacked event during CTIA, writing, "Under the current circumstances, both parties have agreed that this is not the appropriate time for the announcement of a new product."
Cloud computing, mobile applications, tablet computers and consumerization will be among the top trends and issues discussed next week when CTIA Enterprise & Applications 2011 rolls into San Diego.
News of the Amazon Kindle Fire has burned less than a week, and tablet makers are already feeling the heat and lowering prices in response to the $200 Amazon tablet. Both RIM and HTC have announced price cuts to the PlayBook and Flyer tablets, and others may soon follow.
A recent report has revealed some images of the upcoming Huawei Mediapad tablet that could be headed for T-Mobile.
