(Telecompaper) Motorola is developing a tablet device that will allow users to watch TV on it. The device, which will have a 10-inch screen and operate on Google's Android software, could launch as early as this autumn in the US, the Financial Times reports, citing people familiar with the project. The device is expected to tie closely to Verizon's Fios digital pay-TV, people briefed on the plans said. Motorola also manufactures the set-top boxes for the Fios service. Motorola co-CEO Sanjay Jha said in May the company was exploring tablet options using Google's Android smartphone software. "We're very focused on participating in this convergence between mobility and home, and I actually think you will see some products from us in a very short period of time," he said, without providing details.
