Check out this slick animated teaser from Motorola.  In it the tech company takes us on a journey through the evolution of tablets, from ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic tablets to the modern ones like the iPad.  Speaking of the iPad, Motorola made it their mission to slam the Apple tablet in the video: “It’s like a giant iPhone… but it’s like a giant iPhone.”  Burn!  And if you’re of the speculating kind, let’s dig deeper into the teaser.  Though Moto does not unveil the final product, their shiny new red Motorola logo attracts a buzzing bee at the end of the clip.  A bee, hm?  That matches up quite nicely with the name of Android’s next mobile OS: Honeycomb.  Google’s Andy Rubin recently previewed a Motorola tablet running a new version of Android and he boasted that Honeycomb will include features made from the ground up specifically for the touchy tablet form factor.  One more thing: Verizon teased via Twitter that they plan on showing off  a whole bunch of LTE Android-based devices at CES in January; and this lines up perfectly with the CES 2011 tease at the end of this clip.  Will we see a Motorola tablet running Android’s next-gen Honeycomb OS with Verizon LTE support next month?  Only time will tell, but I’d put money on it.
