Motorola Targets Apple iPad in Upcoming Tablet Teaser Video
It seems CES 2011 will be much like CES 2010 with a big focus on upcoming tablets with inevitable comparisons made against Apple's popular iPad. Readers may remember that last year's CES was dominated by talk of the tablets with heavy rumors about the not-yet-announced Apple iPad.
In this teaser video called Tablet Evolution, Motorola hypes its upcoming Android-based tablet that will be unveiled at CES 2011. In the video, Motorola labels the iPad as "It's like a giant iPhone, but... it's like a giant iPhone" and even takes a shot at the Galaxy Tab which is described as "Android OS, but Android OS...for a phone".
The Consumer Electronics Show 2011 kicks off the first week of January 2011.

I don't think Motorola gets it but, they do realize they're competing with the iPad2 come January, not iPad, right?

Motorola comes out with a new teaser ad with fists swinging. Motorola is within a few weeks of introducing their flagship tablet using Android Honeycomb OS, and calls the iPad just a 'giant iPhone.'

they aren't competing with the Rosetta Stone either. The ad was played for comedy more than anything, and with the average consumer probably not knowing that the iPad 2 is on its way, it seems to me like a very effective (and funny) ad.
So long as they can live up to they hype they've now created. If they not only fail to better the iPad 2, but can't even outdo the original iPad, then this will be a pretty embarrassing ad for them.
And as for the iPad 2, I'd say look for it late feb/early march, not in january
Not sure knocking the iPad as being a "big phone" makes a lot of sense, though... at the end of the day, tablets really are oversized phones, and I'm sure Motorola's tablet will be no different.
Still, interested to see what they bring to the table... :)
That was a fun teaser - love the little jokes (rumoured 2012 self-destruct feature? :D).

Ha you said the same thing as me lol
I don't like the insult of calling any tablet just a giant XXX phone. Cause really what is the difference between iOS and Android tablets. Their both, if you really want to think of it that way, a giant phone. Almost identical software, usually same apps, but a bigger screen. But really that argument doesn't work against the iPad or Android tablets.
I don't get what Motorola are digging at with the iPad either. It has already proven itself to be a successful and functional tablet with some great tablet optimized apps.
The dig at the GalaxyTab can be seen as true but the iPad is far more than a big iPhone.
The big seller for Motorola is that it will be released with Android 3.0 honeycomb which is the tablet optimized version of Android.
