Google, Verizon working on iPad killer
- zephjc 16y ago"looking at all the things Google has in its archives that we could put on a tablet to make it a great experience." Why bother with a clear, elegant, cohesive design when we can create a device from the grab-bag school of engineering! I know I may sound glib, but these doesn't seem to be any real thought or reason behind this, just more me-too-ism
- makecheck 16y agoAlways link to the original source, not the blog. The blurb reveals nothing useful, so here is the original WSJ article: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704250104575238680540806288.html http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405274870425010457523... But of course, even this doesn't reveal much. They don't have a product, a demo, a price, or even a clue, so how is this news? The only reason to make vague statements like this now, would be to steal some of Apple's thunder and future sales. Frankly, I don't care what other companies "might" have a year from now; of course competitors are working on things, that's what they are expected to do. But there is a massive chasm between "scribbled on the back of a napkin last week" and "produced a working, shipping, price-competitive embedded product", and it sure looks like these guys just finished their napkin.
