Anyone can make an Android Device: Panasonic next on list

I know there are a lot of manufactures out there that want in on the Android movement. I get it. Just because you make products that have electronic parts to them, doesn’t really mean you should try to make a cell phone. Panasonic is stepping up to bat. For their sake I hope its out of the park, but from what we have seen before this could be a flop. They are looking to have a device available in Japan in 2011. Now the problem is that frequently we see these manufactures who have little to no experience with cell phones forget the basics. Look at Apple, picture messaging, Bluetooth issues, and now signal problems? Remember people that the whole initial point to a cell phone is to make calls and have reception wherever we go. How about LG? Make a fantastic TV, cell phone just not reliable (LG Vu case in point). Its not that I have no confidence in them its just that I personally like buying from companies who are cell phone in the roots. And yes, I know, they are not that many of them out there anymore. This may just be the Fail of the Week, I guess we will just have to wait and see.

LG Optimus Pad packs Honeycomb, Dual-Core Tegra 2, scheduled for Q1 2011

LG has leaked out a few new details regarding their upcoming Optimus Pad. This 8.9-inch Android tablet was originally set up to run with Android 2.2 (Froyo), only now LG changed their plans and are ensuring that the Optimus will sport Honeycomb along with a thumping dual-core Tegra 2 chip. They sure make it sound tasty, but we’d feel better seeing something more official. The good news is that LG is making sure both European and North American markets will be accommodated for the Optimus Pad’s launch scheduled for Q1 of 2011.
