Why you should steer clear of the $99 HP TouchPad
- cleverjake 15y agoVery poor article. This is more about how you shouldn't buy it if you want to put android on it really quickly and easily. Most of these tablets are realistically going to end up one of three ways. Given to your kids, given to your parents, or given to the drawer after they're played with. None of these issues really apply, other than the lack of warranty (which is inaccurate, there is a 90 day warranty on them). For $99, you CANNOT get a comparable device anywhere. Period. If you want to spend double the money, then you can get a kindle fire, which is a smaller device, but will be around longer.
- romnempire 15y agoI mean, there was the whole thing about the novo7 going for 99$ yesterday. It feels like it's only going to be a short time before 99$ tablet opportunities are everywhere.
- cleverjake 15y agoThere is a difference between a $400 tablet selling for $100 and a tablet made to sell between $100. Quality tablets won't be that cheap for quite some time, because it isn't really possible to get quality parts, assemble them, and ship them for that little.
