14 DAY TRIAL // Motorola's XOOM has been around for a few months and it looks like the company might already be working on a sort of successor, one that should support next-generation broadband.
There is much that can be said about the tablet market as it is today, seeing just how numerous slates are getting.
Tablets come in multiple sizes and performance capabilities, not to mention price points, and it looks like one will be getting its successor before the year is out.
In this instance, talks have not arisen in regards to the Eee Pad Transformer 2, the one that will come in October, alongside the Kal-El Tegra 3 NVIDIA platform.
Instead, Motorola is making the news, the XOOM tablet apparently getting ready to welcome its own better, provided assumptions are not too far off the mark.
The folks over at Fusible claim to have discovered the name of what will be either a phone or a tablet, though they did not exactly set eyes on the product itself.
Instead, some web domain names were stumbled upon, MotorolaKore.com, KoreMotorola.com, Moto-Kore.com, MotoKore.com, and Motorola-Kore.com.
Some time ago, Motorola said that a 4G-enabled tablet, somewhat smaller than the XOOM, would show up during the next months.
There is no proof as to whether or not the KORE is that item, but there is no proof to the contrary and it is likely that the screen diagonal will measure either 7 inches or 8.9 inches.
As for the hardware, again, nothing is known, the same way mystery surrounds the operating system, although it is easy to assume the next version of Android, Ice Cream Sandwich, will be utilized.
What remains is to see if whatever device emerges is in any way better received than the XOOM was at first.
The tablet, though the first Android device to emerge, had overpricing and some functionality issues to work out, something that, hopefully, the KORE will manage to avoid.
