HP Delays Android Tablet – Why Develop One Anyway?
Posted on 15. Jul, 2010 by Daniel Cawrey in News
Lilliputing is reporting that HP is delaying its launch of an Android tablet until – who knows? It seemed like plans for any sort of tablet development would shift from the moment HP bought Palm, since the WebOS operating system is now theirs. Earlier this year, HP showed off a tablet that was running Windows 7, so who knows what the company is going to do.
Since HP has been listed as an official partner for Chrome OS, this news is somewhat interesting. I would suspect that with WebOS, Chrome OS and Windows that the company has enough on its plate as is in terms of tablets.
Besides, are Android tablets really the way to go? If you’re going to make an AndroidPad, how exactly are you differentiating yourself from Apple’s already successful tablet? Having a slate that is cloud-based would be much more interesting, especially if it is paired with an always-on wireless connection.
Ah yes, the wireless connection. That’s probably what’s taking so long for some of these Apple competitors to actually surface. Can wireless networks actually handle all of the data for these tablets?
