One company that has, so far, not steered too close to the tumults of the tablet market is HTC, but its quasi-neutrality is about to end, since it too will be releasing a tablet in the more or less near future.
The tablet market is already a place of inventiveness and rapid advancement, but it has witnessed and played host to just as much drama, if not more.
The scuffle between Apple and Samsung over the latter having allegedly copied the iPad's design is just one of the most recent examples.
After Apple filed a copyright suit against the latter, succeeding in banning the Galaxy Tab in Australia and Europe, the evidence it provided was found to have utilized what looked like
modified photos of the Tab 10.1.
Whether because of this or not, the ban on the product
was lifted in all EU countries (except Germany) and Samsung is now looking to August 25, when its appeal is set.
In the meantime, everyone else involved with tablets in one way or another are going along wither whatever plans they have in place.
One of the companies that should soon say their piece is HTC, whom a
rumor now says is on track towards a product release in the late third or early fourth quarter.
Not much is known about it, except for the display size, a now common 10 inches in diagonal.
In the meantime, HTC will continue waging the courtroom war of sorts it is embroiled in with Apple. Reconciliation is, apparently, not being sought.
It is more or less certain that an ARM platform will lie at the heart of whatever tablet HTC puts together.
Given recent happenings on the rumor mill, like NVIDIA's
statement that the Tegra 3 already has many design wins, this might even turn out to be one of the early Kal-El devices, though nothing is even remotely certain at this point.
