The tablet wars have finally arrived in India with the impeding launches of the HTC Flyer and Motorola Xoom later this month. There are no price specifications or exact launch dates yet.

All this comes after BlackBerry maker RIM announced that it will be bringing the BlackBerry PlayBook to India later this month.

For those who don't know the HTC Flyer, it is a 7-inch tablet powered by Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system and will come equipped with a Qualcomm 1.5Ghz processor with 1 Gb of RAM. The main USP of the flyer will be its stylus, which aims to provide a unique experience.

In comparison, the Motorola Xoom is a 10.1-inch tablet and it became the first tablet to run Google's tablet optimized operating system Android 3.0 Honeycomb. It will run dual-core 1GHz NVidia Tegra 2 processor along with 1 GB of RAM.

While the HTC Flyer will feature a single 5 megapixel camera, the Motorola Xoom will boast of dual cameras, a 5-megapixel snapper in the rear and a 2 megapixel camera for video chats.

The tablet market suddenly took-off in India with the launch of Apple's all conquering iPad. It will be interesting to see if either of the soon to be launched tablets are able to make inroads in the market.
