And then a Sholes tablet for T-Mobile US right beneath it which would be a rumored Android tablet Motorola is developing. So the Droid (Sholes) might be coming to T-Mobile US soon?

Here it is quoted from Gizmodo.com: “Today, as soon as Google showed off its beta GPS navigator, the stocks of Garmin, TomTom and other companies in that industry fell into the toilet.

So who’s ditching their current company for either, and who’s already on big red but plan to swarm the storm on the 6th? 🙂 Source
