T-Mobile promises HSPA+ tablets in 2011, Android's likely there somehow

T-Mobile just fed us a press release in which it affirms that HSPA+ tablets are coming in 2011. Here's the party line:

“T-Mobile is working closely with the majority of our OEM partners to deliver 4G products by integrating HSPA+ into roadmaps in 2011 as the dominant global standard. Consumers will continue to see HSPA+ fuel future innovation in a variety of mobile consumer electronics from smartphones and tablets to emerging devices. T-Mobile will continue to be at the forefront of wireless innovation, delivering an aggressive 4G product lineup in 2011, including 4G tablets.”

We asked, and TMo's refusing to say whether these tablets will run Android. And so we'll say it for them: There's a better-than-average chance that you'll see T-Mobile with an HSPA+ tablet in 2011. And if we don't, just do what I do. Blame Jerry.
