A Russian hardware manufacturer, Rover Computers, has introduced several new tablets*they are working on including some which will be running the Android OS. With how much I love my Android Phone tablets running the OS really catch my eye and is definitely something I would consider buying. As a college student and an avid reader Android tablets would work perfect for quick studying or catching up on my latest novel using an eReader or playing games and surfing the net on the large screen. Oh the possibilities.

As a note I wanted to share that Engadget has released an update to the story that Rover Computers may be going bankrupt which means we will never see these bundles of goodies. I for one hope that they don’t but only time will tell. I would really like to see more Android based tablet on the market to compliment my phone while on the go. Would you buy one if they were readily available?
