Android Honeycomb is indeed a sleek and sexy tablet OS. But is the latest iteration of Google's popular mobile operating system capable of taking on Apple's iOS-powered iPad?
Well, at least two industry analysts believe that potential iPad competitors may "fall short of expectations," as such tablets currently lack a viable equivalent to Apple's App Store and digital ecosystem of iTunes.
"One of the key focuses at [CES 2011] is of course tablets. Many [companies are] trying to come up with an answer to the strong selling iPad. This may sound controversial, but we are concerned that expectations may be set too high by market research firms with aggressive forecasts," Shaw Wu of Kaufman Bros in an industry note obtained by AppleInsider.
