HP Touchpad Go shows up on eBay
Most of you guys are probably aware of the HP Touchpad tablet that ran on webOS. We all know that HP decided to kill off the tablet and for those unaware, had HP not made the decision to kill off the Touchpad, it would have seen a successor in the smaller HP Touchpad Go.
The good news is that it appears one such tablet has managed to find its way onto eBay. We’re guessing that HP had several of these made and somehow they found their way into hands of outsiders who are now selling what could be considered a piece of tech history.
If you’ve always wondered how webOS would run on a 7” display, or if you want to own a piece of technology that not many people in the world have or ever will, feel free to check out the eBay auction. Take note that we cannot guarantee the seller’s integrity or the reliability of the product that you’re buying, so proceed at your own risk!
HP has indulged in the tablet market for quite a number of years already, although they have not exactly been the most successful of companies in this particular niche. This time around, it does look as though HP will be preparing a couple of new tablets – that do seem to obtain a strong influence from Huawei, so much so that they could very well be just rebranded devices.
How does a HP branded smartphone sound to you? I am quite sure that those of us out there who are more concerned about reliability might prefer a brand name that has fared far better than HP in the smartphone industry, such as the likes of Samsung, Apple, Nokia or LG. Well, if you love rooting for the underdog always, and want to give something different a try, HP might have just the thing for you.
An alleged HP smartphone was leaked out earlier this week, and it certainly seemed to jive with what HP Senior Director Yam Su Yin mentioned earlier this month, that HP intends to make a return to the smartphone business by introducing a unique model. The executive was even quoted, that “HP has to be in the game.” Do you think you will pick up a HP branded smartphone when the time comes?
HP could be working on a spanking new high end Android-powered tablet which they have seen fit to call the HP SlateBook 10 X2. Of course, this is a particularly new piece of tech which was first picked up by the good people over at TabTech of Germany, courtesy of an AnTuTu benchmark. The HP SlateBook 10 X2 does seem to come with a 10” display of unknown resolution count, where it will be accompanied by a quad-core Nvidia Tegra 4 processor that has been clocked at 1.8GHz, and Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean in tow.
No idea on pricing or availability of the HP SlateBook 10 X2 though, but then again, it would not be the first of such devices to be announced by what was once a major computer manufacturing force in the world, since we have been acquainted with the Windows 8-powered HP Envy X2 before this. We do, however, hope to hear and see more about the HP SlateBook 10 X2 in due time.
