It’s difficult to know if the whole Apple-Adobe fracas will be an issue in the long run, but if you are in the market for a tablet computer (and let’s face it, as soon as you’ve thumbed an iPhone while your sat in front of your tv you are almost sold) then you might just want to hold back on that decision until you see the recent surfacing of some prototype android offerings.
The iPad has been popular, no doubting that, the Cupertino marketing machine informs us that Apple have sold one million iPads, indeed CEO Jobs himself states:
“One million iPads in 28 days—that’s less than half of the 74 days it took to achieve this milestone with iPhone,”
“Demand continues to exceed supply and we’re working hard to get this magical product into the hands of even more customers.”
Magical? Something of the Paul Daniels? Are we going to like the £429 starting price? (not a lot, etc.) Quite whether it has revolutionised the netbook market though is perhaps up for debate, but the attraction to tablet computers seems set to stay.
The tech site Zedomax has posted some details of a new android based tablet computer prototype after spotting it at the web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco, this is made even more tantalising by the knowledge that this machine was running flash and was actually in the Adobe booth!

Perhaps even more interesting are the comments reported to be from someone on the Adobe booth:
“According to Mike at Adobe, there will be a slew of Android Tablets at the end of this year (maybe November/December) that will flood the iPad market. Although Mike couldn’t tell me which companies were working on this (other than NVidia), it seemed to me that like a LOT of companies will be launching various different versions of the Android Multi-touch tablets at the end of this year.”
It seems that the tablet machine market might start to become crowded pretty quickly – no bad thing for consumers.
