Digitimes is reporting that HTC will launch a tablet device powered by Google Android 3.0 in Q1 2011. HTC is reportedly leveraging its strong relationship with Google and wireless carriers, suggesting that it will come with 3G connectivity.
As recently as July, HTC had been expressing hesitation at jumping in a market where every other manufacturer seemed to be rushing as well. It does not appear that 2011 will be any less crowded with both Acer and Motorola among others rumoured to be working on Android 3.0 tablets for early 2011 release.
