Android 3.X and ZMS-20 are designed and engineered specifically for this new and exciting tablet market where growth is expected to approach 100 million next year. The JAGUAR platforms based on ZiiLABS' ZMS-20 and ZMS-40 processors push performances to a new level that the world has never seen before and OEMs and ODMs can leverage this with JAGUAR to quickly stake a sizeable claim in this explosive market."

The ‘Jaguar’ tablets (both dual core and quad core) will be shown in the ZiiLABS suite at Computex and you can expect a whole lot of new information, so stay tuned.
