Six tablets that come to premature end and never appear in market
Posted on January 10th, 2012 No commentsThe year just past by has witnessed a fast and strong growth in tablets industry. Various popular and powerful tablets emerged in the market to meet users’ needs, like the Amazon Kindle Fire, Motorola Droid Xyboard, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, HTC EVO View 4G, etc. all of which are the result of high tech and provides users excellent user experience. In fact, these tablets are just partial of tablets that various tablets makers put into market in the end. There are also a lot of tablets which come to a premature end and never appear in the market, which means these tablets are dead before being put into market. A ZDNet Author has made a collection about these premature ended tablets for us. The following 6 tablets all belong to this kind of tablets. Check the following original content to get to know more insight about tablet market.
Sony Tablet P
When Sony announced its entry into the Android tablet game in August 2011, it showed off two devices. One was the Sony Tablet S, which made it to market a few months later. The other was the Sony Tablet P (then known as the Tablet S2), a unique folding tablet planned to be released by AT&T in time for the holidays. It didn’t.
Dell tablet of Android version
To Dell’s credit, the company was one of the first major players to challenge the Apple iPad with the Android-based Streak tablet. So when it announced its plan to deliver a 10-inch Android tablet tablet for 2011, we had every reason to believe the company. Well, it produced a 10-inch Windows 7 tablet, but an Android version never made it out the door. Maybe the cardboard mock-up company reps showed off during the announcement event (shown here) should have tipped us off.
Lenovo tablet
Lenovo first showed off its IdeaPad U1 concept at CES of 2010, and its hybrid concept turned a lot of heads. The device worked as a Windows notebook when docked, but its detachable screen acted as an Android tablet when used separately. It missed its 2010 release, but popped up again at CES 2011. Who knows? Maybe we’ll see it again at CES 2012.
Kno tablet
Unlike most of the tablets on this list, the Kno tablet wasn’t geared for consumers. Its dual-screen design was made specifically to address the need for a full-size, full color replacement for large textbooks. Unfortunately, it never happened. In April 2011, the company decided to change direction and abandon hardware creation to focus specifically on software development.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 4G
During CES 2011, Samsung announced plans to release a 4G version of the 7-inch Galaxy Tab Android tablet for Verizon. Though Samsung went on to make many new versions to its Galaxy Tab line in 2011, a 4G version of this original Galaxy Tab never materialized.
BlackBerry Playbook 4G for Sprint
When RIM unveiled its BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, the company publicly announced its intention to release a 4G version of the device for Sprint. In August, Sprint nixed the idea. For more products we never saw in 2011, check out CNET’s Top 5 vaporware from CES 2011.

About 1000 BlackBerry PlayBook Recalled by RIM: What People Say on RIM
Posted on May 16th, 2011 No commentsBlackBerry maker, RIM (Research In Motion Ltd.), has recalled about 1,000 of its 16GB BlackBerry PlayBook tablets that were shipped to Stapes with faulty operating systems which may have prevented users from performing the initial setup of the device. Analysts mentioned that over the first day of release, RIM sold 45.000 units of the device, 900 is a small figure to worry about.
In a statement, RIM said the majority of the affected devices are still in the distribution channel and haven’t reached customers. “RIM is working to replace the affected devices……In the small number of cases where a customer received a PlayBook that is unable to properly load software upon initial set-up, they can contact RIM for assistance.“
Users have been quite active to the BlackBerry PlayBook issue. Some commented that RIM would be the next PALM just like dead man walking, while some others highly commented RIM’s recalling and made comparison between RIM and Apple, HP, Dell or other giants. Here I have found some comments online:
“I used to have great admiration for RIM and their ability to provide tech solutions that were on the cutting edge. But since they have failed to recognize that users want an eco system rather than one-off products, I can’t justify giving them my future support. Perhaps they need 1 less CEO so that the company can go in a focused direction. I dunno, I’m just a lone observer here.” From Online.VSJ.Com.
“If RIM recalls a product, that is actually a good thing. They care about customers getting a bad product and perhaps tarnishing their brand. Kudos to RIM. Standing up and saying “sorry about that, we’ll fix it” takes serious balls in today’s PR focused world.” From Engadget.com.

BlackBerry PlayBook Release Date Confirmed to Be April 19
Posted on April 8th, 2011 No commentsLatest news for BlackBerry PlayBook: the Research In Motion (RIM) is preparing to release the long awaited BlackBerry PlayBook at April 19 to compete with iPad 2 and Moto Xoom, a month later than scheduled date. The BlackBerry PlayBook was supposed to be out the first quarter of 2011 but due to some hard ware and software difficulties, is set to be released this April 19.
From all reasons, two main reasons are most often mentioned for the delay of BlackBerry PlayBook release. One is about the touch screen glass shortage, and the other is the difficulty in getting Flash to work properly on the PlayBook.
Trade magazine Digitimes reports that the reason that the launch of the BlackBerry PlayBook is later this month is partly because Apple tied up the supply of touch screen panels from various Asian suppliers. Apple had booked up most of the available touch screen glasses for its iPad 2, which has postponed the manufacturing of touch screen glasses for BlackBerry PlayBook and delayed the release date.
Also, Digitimes also mentioned that aside from the touch screen glass shortage for the delay of BlackBerry PlayBook, the software testing contributes to the delay as well, mainly on the Flash support. This problem has been a common difficulty for many other tablet PCs, like Moto Xoom, which supports no Flash even though Flash support is highlighted as a key feature. Also, the sluggish performance and battery drainage of Flash have been a big concern for all tablet PCs. And without the Flash support, the PlayBook would have noting advantageous and competitive.
It’s been six weeks since Motorola released the Xoom, and April 19 is probably as long as Adobe can wait before Flash can no longer be considered “a few weeks” late. Adobe and RIM made no response to a comment request upon this story.
