Android New Stuff

Posted on 14:40 by Unknown
People keep complaining about a lack of Android tablet-optimized apps... their coming!
(Sheesh... Android tablets had only had serious market share for 3 months tops... it takes some time!)
I personally do not care for the style of Flipboard (was never a fan of flipping through magazines), but I must say its is a pretty and very snappy app.
Flipboard is now optimized for Android tablets

Yet another Android camera:

I'm expecting next year to be the year where sub-$200 tablets become very nice (and Apple will have to make some really hard decisions about their hideous profit margins). This next article mentions two name-brand sub-$100 contenders:
Acer Iconia B1 leak: $99, 7-inch tablet, Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean | BGR
What I like best about this is that it is no longer Google subsidizing by essentially making no-profit tablets; numerous, good, inexpensive tablets are coming to the market from places expecting to make a profit.
