While some may
question why, rumors are heating up that Google is set to launch its own tablet computer soon.
Reports claim Google is working with Samsung on source code for the device,
which will use the Nexus operating system.
Questions about the
Google initiative revolve around the fact that Android devices are not doing
well in the market. The Amazon Kindle Fire sold briskly during the holidays,
but sales have fallen off from that point. In the meantime, the Apple iPad
continues to dominate with no end of sales growth in sight.
Another problem
facing Google is a lack of Android applications for users to download. And it
remains to be seen whether Google can fight off Amazon, or Verizon for that
matter, for those Android app customers in the first place.
