Motorola's Android tablet is Google's flagship device
Digitimes Research analyst Mingchi Kuo claims that Motorola's 10-inch Android tablet might be Google's officially chosen flagship device.

Google may consider it a representative of what Android 3.0 could do. The hardware would be fast through using NVIDIA's dual-core Tegra 250, but it would make some sacrifices in the display compared to its obvious rival, the iPad.

While Sony's talk of games is not a direct announcement of the upcoming console, it does make sense that the company is preparing its publishing partners for the eventual launch. Most games take over 16 months to develop, so it is completely necessary for developers to know the specs of the new console at least a few years before its launch.
