News Update: Motorola, Inc. Will Try to Deliver a "Sufficiently Compelling" Tablet Device by 2011

Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT) co-chief Sanjay Jha said the company will try to launch a tablet by the beginning of next year, reports PCMag.com Thursday.

"I will only develop a tablet if it is sufficiently compelling," Jha said. "Hopefully, that is early next year. I see the tablet market as an opportunity; no cannibalization with smartphones."

Motorola debuted a tablet prototype at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show, equipped with a 7-inch screen, 32 GB of external memory and runs on Google Inc.'s (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android OS.

Jha also said the Motorola is "eager to participate" in Internet TV, like Google TV and Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:AAPL) Apple TV, which received a facelift earlier this year.
