You think the iPad will be the only tablet we'll talk about in 2010? Not even close. According to Arm’s Worldwide Mobile Computing ODM Manager Roy Chen, we can expect as many as 50 tablets before the year's end.
"The first tablet devices will launch in the second quarter by [mobile network] carriers. You'll see a lot more in the third quarter," said Chen. He declined to name specific companies that will launch the tablets, but he did say some of the top 10 telecoms will launch a tablet. Arm also displayed a taste of what's to come at the Taipei news conference, showcasing two tablets running Android.
