Imminent Android 4.0 Smartphone And Tablet Releases

Since the original iPhone and the G1 Android smartphone hit stores a few years back, the mobile game hasn't been the same. Consumers impatiently wait for new phones (and now tablets) like children expecting toys and video console games before Xmas. If your’e reading this, you are likely one of those impatient consumers, or perhaps you'll be one pretty shortly. Hey, it's a greasy slope.

Here’s a list of the five most predicted Android gadgets for the rest of 2012.

1. HTC Quattro: This tablet is supposed to be HTC’s first quad-core tablet. The rumored specs include a 1280×768 display, which isn’t really something to brag about. But there’s an excellent chance HTC will not allow the new iPad to show it up too much, so we would like to think HTC will upgrade the display specs before launch. Twin cameras, Wi-Fi, Beats Audio round out the rest of the specs.

2. Galaxy S III: Samsung’s flagship smartphone made waves it the tech world when it debuted to an enthusiastic public at the beginning of May. The new phone ships with Samsung’s in-house, quad-core processor, but the American version with LTE ships with Qualcomm’s dual-core chip as an alternative.

3. ASUS Transformer Pad 700 Series: This is another quad-core tablet, but ASUS already has two on the market since the writing of this post. The gigantic upgrade on this version of the Transformer Pad is the 1920×1200 display. That's plenty of damn pixels! This one hits stores in the second half of 2012.

4. Motorola’s Intel-Based Android Smartphone: Motorola makes a few Andriod handsets. It is the manufacturer’s OS of choice for smartphones, and it should be since Google owns the company. This handset is unique as it features an Intel processor, which has not appeared on a telephone for a few years now. This next-gen processor can switch on the phone right away, and it allows the camera to shoot 15fps.
