Motorola's Android Honeycomb loaded Tablet Clicked

The "MOTOPAD" has quite a desirable spec-sheet

Leaked shots of hot upcoming gadgets serve as great fodder for pro-technology websites, ours included. But it has now become an almost regular trend for not-to-be-seen spy shots of gadgets to be leaked out like this. Makes us wonder whether this is purposely done by the marketing folks at the makers of those gadgets to get people excited even before its unveiling.

Anyway, the Motorola tablet on which Google VP of Engineering Andy Rubin showed Google's next version of the Android OS (dubbed Honeycomb) is out in all its blurry, pixillated glory - as reported by CNET. As we already know, it has a 10-inch screen but now we know it has a 1280 x 800 pixel resolution; which sounds good in our opinion. There are talks of it having a microUSB jack, mini HDMI port and a 3.5mm jack.

But what's inside the shell is what should really get your eyebrows raised - an NVIDIA Tegra 2 T20 processor running at 1 GHz and 512MB RAM. Plus, the Android Honeycomb OS is going to be optimized for tablets, and thus should put to rest the questionable running of Android 2.x on tablets today.
