LG Dumps Android 2.2 Tablet Plans
Posted in: Android, LG, tablet, Today's Chili
LG won’t be releasing a Froyo tablet. The South Korean company announced this week that it had abandoned its plans for the Android 2.2 device, which may ultimately lead to the delay of its first tablet, which was originally set for next year.
The company is opting to release the device with a more stable, older version of the open OS, keeping with Google’s wishes. A spokesperson for the company told Reuters, “We plan to introduce a tablet that runs on the most reliable Android version … We are in talks with Google to decide on the most suitable version for our tablet and that is not Froyo 2.2.”
The market for tablets, meanwhile, is growing steadily more crowded. Both RIM and Saumsung recently announced their own answers to the iPad, the PlayBook and Galaxy Tab, respectively.
