“LG today stated that it has dropped it plans for an Android 2.2 Optimus-branded tablet,” Electronista reports. “A company spokesperson stated that LG had been in discussions with Google about what was the most appropriate OS for a tablet moving forward, and it was decided that Froyo was not the best choice. Android 3.0, which is nicknamed Gingerbread is a possibility, but LG’s chief competitor Samsung has hinted in a slip that Android won’t be properly optimized for tablets until Honeycomb. With Gingerbread due this fall at the earliest, this news could push LG’s entry into the tablet market well into next year.”
Electronista reports, “In Electronista’s first hands on with Samsung’s Galaxy Tab we expressed surprise at how much of the core Android 2.2 OS remained in the final shipping build on the device, expecting it to have been more optimized for use on a tablet… It has been suspected that Samsung’s choice of a seven-inch screen was primarily dictated by the very lack of OS optimization that has led to LG’s decision to wait for Google to deliver a better Android OS alternative for the tablet form factor.”

Facebook just upgraded their photo feature using Adobe Flash??? Apple’s no Flash strategy is having little effect on changing the web’s content. Why not just offer Flash and get on with it?

Facebook, like a lot of the web, is a useless hash-up of ads and vain humans posturing.
Its like daytime TV or donuts or american politics – meant for semi-moronic fools for the most part.
This site, MDN, has its issues, with shitty and stupid ads and a crowded page maxing out the ‘monetization’ factor, but at least there is intelligent life here, sometimes.
Flash is for lazy people, built by lazy people.

If only Apple could license a modified version of iOS for pads ONLY within next 6 months would they stop the whole Anroid movement in it’s tracks? The window is still wide open for Apple.

… may – though more likely, may not – end up being true. At least they realized that it would not be true if launched with the current available OS. So, unlike Dell (hardware) or Microsoft (software), they had the good business sense and the honesty to delay the launch. Despite the nasty, childish?, comments above, this puts them a step or two above the rest of the non-Apple field. As long as they don’t launch an inferior tablet.
Flash may be second rate, but it was what the coders had – until recently. Just like COBOL was – decades ago.

I agree, especially regarding MDN. I get irritated by the slow load speed of all the ads and go away, but I just keep coming back.

Having just come back from a wonderful vacation in your beautiful country, may I just say, in all fairness, that an Italian shouldn’t be poking fun at anybody else’s politics.
