too late? Why? The iPad is only at version 2, and Android tablets are having a hard time to take off (while the HP TouchPad has been selling very well apparently). Honestly, I am using one, and I have an Android phone (Nexus S) I don't think it's that far behind (and there are other good features I don't have on Android).
Disclaimer: I'm right now an intern at HP, but I'm first a Free Software hacktivist and user.
- angryasian 15y agohp is selling well because they are selling $500 hardware at $100, which a lot of people are putting android on.
- jaysonelliot 15y agoIt doesn't matter why they are selling well, what matters is that there are about a quarter million TouchPads in users' hands right now. That's a healthy install base, and makes working on an open source OS for the device a worthwhile proposition. From there, it will hopefully be a virtuous cycle, as people buy devices that can run WebOS because of a healthy developer community.
