We have just learnt from one of our connects that Motorola indeed has a 10-inch Android tablet in the works and it will run on Android 3.0 aka Gingerbread. The tablet, referred to as the M-Pad (very unlikely to be the final name), will also have a camera but he was not sure about its megapixel count or whether it would have a front facing one for video calls. The M-pad will be announced in the October-November time frame. We have heard murmurings about such a device in the works from other sources in the past.



The most interesting tid bit that we learnt today was Moto’s plans to launch dual-SIM phones in India pretty soon. One of the dual-SIM phones is expected to have a QWERTY keypad, which would compete with similar offerings from virtually every local player out here.



On the Android smartphone front, after the recent launch of the Milestone XT720 and Backflip, we can expect to see the Flipout (watch the video below). Also in the pipeline seems to be a smartphone in candybar form factor with an alphanumeric keypad. We ain’t sure what this could be as there is no such device in Motorola’s present or upcoming portfolio that we know about.
