Mobile phone maker Motorola was long rumored to be on its way to come to the market with a tablet PC that would run under Google's next Android flavor, version 3.0, called Honeycomb.

Confirmation of the existence of this device already emerged, as Google's Andy Rubin brought it to the D: Dive Into Mobile conference earlier this week, as previously reported.

Until now, no info on the device was unveiled officially, except for the fact that it would run under the Android 3.0 Honeycomb operating system version.

However, some of the previous rumors on the device suggested that we would see it launched in the United States on the airwaves of Verizon Wireless.

Moreover, it has been suggested that the slate would pack an NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core chip inside, and that it would sport a 10-inch touschscreen display when released on the market.

While confirmation on these specifications is still pending, some more info on what should be the internal specs of the slate made it into the wild not too long ago, along with what seems to be a photo of the tablet PC's homescreen.

According to a recent article on Engadget, Motorola would be on its way to launch both a 7-inch version and a 10-inch version of the device.

Moreover, the tablet PC is expected to include a gyroscope when released, along with a 5-megapixel photo snapper on the back, complemented by a 2-megapixel camera on the front.

At the same time, we might see the device launched with 32GB of embedded memory, and with a microSD memory card slot for additional storage space.

What's even more interesting is that Motorola might plan the release of this device in three different flavors, including UMTS, CDMA, and LTE.

No info on the release date for this device emerged, nor on its price tag, but rumor has it that it should sport a similar cost as Motorola's high-end phones.
