    Verizon to FINALLY have an iPhone?

    Looks like February 2011 but what will it be called?

    iPhone 5  for Verizon

    Dell Tablet


    Dell enters the Fray with a 7" Tablet by Nov 15th, then with a 10", 3" and 4" tablets. Makes you wonder - will Laptops as we know them, with a hinge and "real keyboard" be obsolete by the end of 2011? 2012?

    iPad Mini

    iPad 2Apple appears to have a 7" iPad in the works
    . I'm sure it will have front/rear facing camera. Will it have micro USB? Will it have microphone? Only Steve Knows

    Samsung Galaxy Tab
    iPad 2

    Maybe more competition for iPad?

    Rumor has it, Samsung's Galaxy tablet could be a genuine iPad competitor!

    Motorola/Verizon Tablet

    Reports say you may be able to watch TV on this 10inch version of the Motorola/Verizon Tablet & that it supports Flash video--a feature the iPad lacks.  It would have a rear-facing camera for taking photos & a front-facing camera for video conferencing. There's a possibility you could also be able to turn the tablet into a Wi-Fi hotspot, suggests the device would likely have 3G connectivity provided by Verizon.

    3M MPro110

    3M MPro110

    3M introduces Handheld Projector
    This is a truly amazing product. I’m assuming there will be an interface which allows you to download your Powerpoint presentations to this tiny projector. You will not need a VGA cord, as it projects the images from the handheld (and possibly from a handheld phone some day). To get sound, there will probably be an audio jack which will have to be run to speakers. Simply Amazing!

    Cost: $300
    Release Date: late 2008

    G1

    G1 - The Google/Android Phone from T-Mobile

    Official Specifications of the phone

    T-mobile Live Event Transcription - phone has been officially announced and will be ready for sale on 10/22/2008. The phone is dubbed the "G1."

    Android is a new operation system (platform) developed by Google that can be adopted by all the cell phone manufacturers. T-mobile is the first. It joins Palm, Windows, iPhone and Symbian operating systems among many others. I hoping Verizon adds it next!

    Here's an Gphone demo done by Sergie, a co-founder of Google.

    Android features: Touch phone, Move web pages with fingers, Rich browser history (you see thumbnails of past web pages you’ve seen), 3 G speed, Panorama images/satellite on maps, and tons more stuff. I bet there will be everything that's on the current iPhone platform.

    More Images for the G1
