Listen, Froyo Android Tablet most probably won't support Android Market.

Getting ready to buy your favorite Android powered Tablet PC this season, then keep in mind what Google’s director of mobile products, Hugo Barra, said. Google has accepted that "Froyo" android V 2.2 is not optimized for Tablet PC.  But it hinted that Gingerbread and later version will be giving full fledged Tablet PC experience. So keep in mind when you can wait to have one .

Hardware requirements, Android Market, or wait till Gingerbread arrives.

Thats what i call Flexibility, Samsung Galaxy Tab comes with AT&T, Sprint, Verizon.

According to WSJ post, Samsung is launching its Galaxy Tab with Verizon Wireless, Sprint, and AT&T  since negotiation with them had gone well. But we don't see the T-Mobile. Many say that Samsung Galaxy Tab can give tough competition to apples iPad. The Android tablet when it becomes available next month.

Pricing on the tablet is still a source of contention with off-contract costs possibly soaring as high as $1000. Samsung executives have a pegged a $200-300 price tag but the end cost will depend upon carrier subsidies. US pricing has not been disclosed and Verizon is reportedly still deciding whether to offer the Galaxy Tab at discounted, contract-based pricing.

Samsung reportedly expects to ship 10 million tablet devices next year, a 33% market share.

Other competitor for the Galaxy Android Tab is Dell's Streak which has Android V 1.6 (Donut).

Google says Froyo (Android V 2.2) is not right choice for Tablet PC.

We have seen many tablet PC makers are planning to launch with Pre-loaded Android 2.2 i.e., Froyo. Google says that if the Tablet PC makers want to compete with iPad than Froyo is not the right choice citing Screen Resolution issue.

Hugo Barra, director of products for mobile at Google, said to Tech Radar that "Android is an open platform. We saw at IFA 2010 all sorts of devices running Android, so it already running on tablet. But the way Android Market works is it's not going to be available on devices that don't allow applications to run correctly. Which devices do, and which don't will be unit specific, but Froyo is not optimized for use on tablets."

Right now, Android's upper limit for resolution is 854 by 480 according to documentation on the Android Developer site. There are varying screen sizes that support this resolution, but it depends on the pixel density.

Will Google limit Android to certain Tablets which meets Googles requirements?

As we see open any Tech sites we see a new tablet PC powered by Android poping up daily. Every one is trying to attract with some interesting features or looks or what ever. Now the Buyers are in a maze to buy the one which might make them happy. If you are one of them so ...., then Google might be helping you in some way

Google has certain hardware requirements to allow a company to be able to use their Android Market and Google Applications. Google might following these requirements to ensure Best User Experience.

Hugo Barra, Google’s mobile product development director told PaidContent UK the following during a briefing today,

“It could be any number of things – form factor, the limited number of pixels, does it have a GPS on it?”

“We’re concerned that users will get a good experience at the end of the day.”

“You can have Android if it leads to a good implementation. We have to make sure that every device meets the criteria for a good experience for Android Market.”
