If Hugo Barra, director of Google’s mobile products is to be believed then Froyo, the latest Android 2.2 version has not been optimized for the tablets. To TechRadar, he said that the Android Market for applications would not be supported on Android 2.2 tablets since they areas simply "just not designed for that form factor."
He further added that Android 2.2 has been used in Samsung Galaxy Tab, which was showcased at the IFA show in Berlin last week. The director being optimistic said, "We want to make sure that we're going to create a application distribution mechanism for theAndroid market, to ensure our users have the right experience."
Contrary to the director, Google CEO Eric Schmidt at the IFA said that the developers will use Android OS to run the tablets. Schmidt pointed out "But I think it's too early to say exactly how it will play out." He also added "We're looking forward to the partnership announcements later this year."
Although nothing officially has been announced, if rumors are to be believed both HTC and Verizon are working on Google Chrome-based tablets by the end of the year.
Rumors aside, some analysts also believe that the first Google Chrome run tablet will appear in November. But since nothing is concrete yet, so we have to wait and watch, whcih way the wind blows in Google Android vs Google Chrome choice.
