HP TouchPad soon to be running Google Android

August 22, 2011, By ceo | 2 Comments (Closed)

A week ago or so, HP announced that it was pulling the plug on their webOS devices, including their TouchPad.

A few days ago, TouchPads go on fire sale for $99. And guess what? They are selling like hot cakes.

Now HP TouchPad will soon to be running Google Android via Touch Droid.

Ironic. There is a chance that HP TouchPads get popularity via Android. Or in other words, HP could have played all this much better and saved $1.2B, and still be in the tablet race.

Oh well…
