Mobile is the New Desktop: The HP/Palm Q&A
,----[ Quote ]
| Q: But why now?
| A: Because for all of the penetration of the
| iPhone and Android class devices, this
| market is just getting started. Look at any
| hardware vendorâs roadmap and youâre likely
| to see not only a smartphone play, but all
| manner of MID/tablet/smartbook devices as
| well â largely ARM driven. Because thatâs a
| compelling market. The hardware, of course,
| is only one part of the equation. And,
| arguably, not the hardest part.

Hewlett-Packard To Kill Windows 7 Tablet Project
,----[ Quote ]
| Hewlett-Packard has killed off its much
| ballyhooed Windows 7 tablet computer, says a
| source whoâs been briefed on the matter.
|
| The device was first unveiled by Microsoft
| CEO Steve Ballmer at CES 2010 in January and
| was supposed to hit the market in mid 2010.
| But our source tells us that HP is not
| satisfied with Windows 7 as a tablet
| operating system and has terminated the
| project (something CrunchGear mentioned
| months ago).

HP tips its ARM netbook hand
,----[ Quote ]
| HP's ARM-powered Android netbook has
| surfaced on the company's U.S. website,
| suggesting it may be headed for a North
| American release. Branded as the "Compaq
| AirLife 100," the netbook includes a 1GHz
| Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 512MB of RAM
| and 16MB of flash storage, a 10.1-inch
| display, and GPS capabilities, the company
| says.
|
| Information on HP's Compaq AirLife 100 --
| like Lenovo's Skylight, one of the only 1GHz
| ARM-based netbooks to have been announced by
| a major vendor -- was leaked in February by
| Engadget Espanol and The Inquirer. The
| former website claimed the device is headed
| for the U.K. on the O2 Network (Telefonica
| Europe), and the latter said it's headed for
| Telefonia in Spain.

Is HP Slate Really Dead? Or Palm Acquisition Another Step Towards It?
,----[ Quote ]
| The latest buzz doing rounds on the popular
| gadget blogs is that, both Microsoftâs
| surreal âCourierâ as well as HP âSlateâ are
| dead. While Microsoft has just provided a
| hint towards what they call as âthey may not
| be interestedâ for the development of
| âCourierâ right now. But shockingly, most of
| the blogosphere is fueling stories about HP
| Slate being dead already. That too without
| any evident reasons !

Success Delayed is Failure
