Motorola partners with Verizon to shake Apple's iPad market

Motorola and Verizon joined hands to introduce a tablet PC focused on television-content, taking a plunge into the burgeoning tablet market set afire by iPad.

The tablet device will feature a 10-inch screen and will be based on Android operating system. The differentiating factor for the product would be access to Verizon's FiOS cable service. It will support Adobe Flash, a platform of choice for more than 90 percent of web videos.

There has been a buzzing rumor since the start of the year when it launched a prototype of Motorola tablet at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

Motorola has been successful in raking the smartphone market giving Apple iPhone stiff competition with the launch of its Droid X model. The model sold more than 350,000 units since it hit the market last month. Currently the smartphone is out of stock. It is also due to launch its Droid 2 and will follow-up with Android 2.2 or Froyo updates to Droid phones. LINK
