LG, Verizon/Google, Palm preparing iPad competitors

Think any of these will put a dent in iPad sales this holiday season?

As soon as Apple releases its products (i.e., iPhone and iPad) on Verizon’s network, and Verizon see those Apple sales take off, it will kill that Verizon/Google tag-team alliance pretty quickly.

The key is how long will Apple take? The main reason for Android sales on Verizon is purely the lack of an iPhone as competitor on Verizon. It will be the same case for the iPad Competitor. Google knows this, thus is trying to form the bond while they can with Verizon. Just look at AT&T. Android is on AT&T, yet their sales are dwarfed by iPhone. Android is simply selling like crazy on Verizon only because iPhone is not there. As soon as it hits Verizon, step back and enjoy the breeze as iphones fly out of their stores.

Just an opinion.

Here’s another (damn sexy) tablet concept that Asus will be producing. If it looks anything like this in reality, I could see it doing very well against the iPad/webOS/ChromeOS tablets. That said…it’s sorta pathetic how long it’s taking for any legitimate competitor to the iPad to be introduced (let alone actually put to market).
