LG: Our tablet will be better than iPad

South Korea's LG Electronics is so confident about its upcoming Android-based tablet device that it has boasted to The Wall Street Journal that its offering will be better than the tablet-market leader. Chang Ma, LG's vice president of marketing for its mobile-devices division said, "Our tablet will be better than the iPad."

This is a huge claim, and it could be a statement of confidence, ignorance or desperation. Whatever it is, it does seem a tad unlikely that LG is able to make its devices sufficiently compelling as to stand out, bearing in mind that its competitors, such as Samsung, will also be releasing tablet devices based on Android. For now though, the consumer electronics giant is still the third largest handset maker in terms of shipments.
