Motorola Android Tablet Possible in Q4 2010

More tablet rumors appeared Monday, this time focused on Motorola and a possible Android-based device slated for the end of the year. Analyst Roger Crenshaw is the originator behind this particular rumor, referring to sources close to the tablet project.

Additionally, there’s also no indication that the device will be locked with Verizon and its DROID brand although that could definitely be a possibility (given the whole AT&T/iPad relationship). This would be an excellent opportunity for Verizon to cash in on the pay-as-you-go consumers, offering data-by-the-bulk package deals like AT&T does with the iPad --if the supposed Motorola tablet actually provides 3G support, that is.

Previously Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha said that the company plans to release a 2GHz phone in Q4 2010--there was also mention of plans to branch out to other devices as well, tablets included.
