Yet another Android tablet from another OEM - this time HP

Can’t believe HP fucked up such a great thing as WebOS and now it’s going to build yet another Android tablet - let me guess? Custom UI layer, slow/no OS updates, no tablet-optimized apps, probably uninspiring design, average-to-premium price point. In other words, yet another Android tablet on the shelf. Not to mention the smartphone thing.

I have nothing against Android tablets (I own a Nexus 7 and I’m very happy with it), and I obviously welcome competition, but I have something with HP. I definitely wanted a WebOS device, it could have been a meaningful 3rd runner in the mobile OS space (WP and BB10 put aside, they’re not even on the 3rd place now). Palm had a much better background at making mobile devices, why not go on with their project instead of destroying everything and then go back on your own steps with an OS you aren’t even familiar with? But poor choices and back-and-forths are ordinary in HP’s management for the last years.

Anyway, let’s see what they’ll come out with - if they will at all.
