Ever try it? It's not that easy. I picked trying to 'copy' "Raid over Moscow" which was made for the Commodore 64. Mine had better graphics, but didn't offer the same game play. I got a "C". I'll fix it and build an iOS App out of it. Lawsuit be-ware!
Software be-ware! MS has a lot to devote to the tablet front. I see them taking a close second... from my teachings anyway...
Personally, I hope the HD iPad comes out soon. Samsung developed the High Res display that they can use in their tablets as early as this winter. I think that AAPL would take that market share also.
If not, it would feel weird if Samsung had an HD tablet before AAPL...
Are you on drugs? It's like you're not even writing English.
Or, rather, you party all night with a fantastic bunch of friends, you almost go to a Korean karaoke after the pub but instead end up singing Bob Dylan songs in a diner on second avenue, and overall have one of the best nights in your life. Only to wake up six hours later and find out you've missed a great opportunity to buy a cool gadget for peanuts...
I blame Russell Brand and Manny Pacquiao for webOS's demise..
Ugh. What a failing ad campaign. Not even close to the iPad commercials in effectiveness. All it managed to convey was that HP could only afford to hire second-tier celebrities to endorse their new non-iPad.
I wonder what kind of chilling effect this week's high-profile cataclysm with the Touchpad that HP experienced will have on other non-Apple tablet makers.
It's one thing for one of these other players to be making their attempt at an iPad and to sell it to retailers and hope it works out and maybe have to discontinue it if it doesn't.
It is quite another thing to see what HP experienced with $100 million dollar chargebacks with Best Buy, the humiliation of their brand that comes from 80% discounts a month or so after the release of the product, and the much more profound harbinger of HP's potential exit even from their venerable PC business.
(...and not to mention that the product category for which you are competing and investing hard-earned dollars is now being called "shitter tablet").
Trying to get your own tablet on the market is not fun and games anymore...you can really get hurt very badly if you even try to do so now. How many executives at these other non-Apple tablet makers are going to be willing to stick their necks out to build a tablet now? Suddenly they realize they are swimming in bloody water and they are not the sharks that they thought they were.
I wouldn't be surprised if Google-Motorola became the only producers of Android tablets while Google's Android partners focused on smartphones.

It's been said by a few others on here but I'll say it again...
Credit to HP for having the balls to tell it like it is.
The Co-CEOs at RIM must be shitting in their pants right now... all. day. long.... non stop.
[on edit: ... but for whatever reason, RIM was up 3.69% on the TSX and 3.61% on the Naz during the meltdown yesterday]
I think RIM is up on takeover/buyout speculation.

Actually they are shitting in their bathrooms with their brand new touchpads thy picked up for $99, and they are reading this forum

Actually... I think it's because of their announced music service.
Two things... a few clowns have called a bottom and a few other clowns are talking takeover.
If there is a takeover RIM will not get a 60% premium on its value, imo... 10%... maybe 20%... otherwise they will be left to circle the drain.
RIM's premium will be paid in Touchpads.

Fixed that for you. (a nod to Solipsism)
This is a real shitty thread.

Oh shit! Thanks!
That explains the $100 mil write down that HP was talking about.
I wonder if the sales at the new price will be final.
The 100 million write down was for the last Q. They are writing down 68 cents in eps for next q or 1.3 billion (before taxes). Read the release.
In the release the effect was .05 to eps.
Now they know what approximate price point they need to reach to get non-iPad tablets to move in volume.

I didn't find it in there but I admit I can't get through reading about GAAP etc without falling asleep. But I dont doubt it.
Wow that's a lotta cheese!

Make sense no here.
Oh, well... at least we'll always have Paris...
I saw her today at a reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man
No, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
And if you try sometime you find
You get what you need
I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you might find
You get what you need
Oh yeah, hey hey hey, oh...
And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"
Sing it to me now...
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you just might find
You get what you need
Oh baby, yeah, yeah!
I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead"
I said to him
You can't always get what you want, no!
You can't always get what you want (tell ya baby)
You can't always get what you want (no)
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need
Oh yes! Woo!
You get what you need--yeah, oh baby!
Oh yeah!
I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need
You can't always get what you want (no, no baby)
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need, ah yes...
It's posts like this that make me wish I was a mod so I could hit the delete key.
Maybe I should add five or six pages of random Shakespeare dialogue to a post show you how annoying this is.
PS - If you like the Stones, you should also be an Android fan as Mick and the boys got their start by copying the Beatles.
This is bleak news for the manufacturers of Android tablets.
Now they know what approximate price point they need to reach to get non-iPad tablets to move in volume.
Good luck with that! The BOM is probably twice that if not more. They'd have to eat a lot of up front cost and it's still risky.
I'll only buy it if Russell Brand sends Katy Perry over to 'give it to me.'
Unavailable - but the ghost of Rick James is on his way.
... Mick and the boys got their start by copying the Beatles.
...which only goes to show how pointless the argument of who copied whom is in a world of endless creativity and awesomeness...
"Okay, phase 1 is complete... Let's move to Phase 2, code-name: DOLLAR SHOP".
