Rumor has it that Motorola is working on an Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich-powered tablet with a 4:3 aspect ratio, similar to that of the iPad. Fusible was able to dig up some hidden info on this gem, and judging by Motorola’s recent purchase of the MotorolaKore.com, KoreMotorola.com, Moto-kore.com, MotoKore.com and Motorola-Kore.com domains, we can guess that this device will be called the Motorala Kore. While it isn’t yet clear, speculation is that this may be one of the first tablets to ship with NVIDIA’s Kal-El Quad-Core processor, and that Moto will likely market around those “kores”. XOOM’s sales have been less than impressive, shipping just 250,000 unites in its first quarter, so we can understand why they might drop that moniker.

i want more of a widscreen ratio like the xoom. if it is a 4:3 ratio i may not buy it..

One of the reasons against the iPad, and a reason why android tablets are better is because of the overall dimensions. The short and stubby 4:3 ratio means you can’t watch films or widescreen stuff without the picture looking very small and having a huge black letterbox around it. The Xoom’s widescreen ratio is a much better idea.

I feel the opposite. Far prefer Android OS to iOS, but I can’t stand the widescreen aspect ratio. Drives me crazy when apps switch orientation on me (market, etc). While I do occasionally like to watch widescreen content, the majority of what I use the tablet for is surfing and games, both of which I feel is best served with 4:3 aspect.

Ah well, to each their own.

Here’s hoping Google supports format as a user / manufacturer choice!!
