"There are aquíiiii" said the girl watching TV in the movie Poltergeist.
The feeling that iPad replacement arrived and began with the Galaxy Tab, albeit timidly, but with the "presentation" of Motorola Xoom, rumors and videos of the Blackberry Playbook and especially with the Normandy landings made yesterday HP with his (God's grace that makes me the name in English) WebOS more than a feeling as if the spirits were already dragging us through the dark side of television.
The Xoom with Honeycomb has a great pint. Honeycomb has a great and smooth paint so I assume it all the tablets that run that operating system. But the truth is that the HP Touchpad left us all speechless. And not just for the hardware that becomes the standard of the next generation tablet (Dual Core CPU, a gig of memory, etc, etc. ..), it is for the WebOS and the entire ecosystem that has mounted HP around. This ecosystem that Google provides its Android and Apple computers to their equipment with IOS. HP plans to bring
WebOS from phones to PCs (as heard) through the tablets, printers, all computers that surround us every day.
What will the reaction of Apple? Apple has a problem and not that many Apple fans believe. The problem Apple is not that there is no iPad 2. Apple's problem is that there is iOS. I use the tablet as a tool for work and play all day, and my problem is the absurd restrictions of IOS. You do not have a file system so if you are working with three applications with a file, it must be three times in the iPad. You can not upload files if not using iTunes or some very very specific. You can not use external storage. The Bluetooth is little more than to transfer photos to the iPhone. You can not install applications yourself or others (homebrew) if you are using iTunes and giving you a registered developer (99 per year). And so on.
What strikes me Android? Freedom. How do I charge the contacts? Send a VCF in an email and go. How to upload files? I connect the USB of my PC or Mac and drag the files. What I can do with BT? Or whatever you want. And so forth. I hope your WebOS HP has the same philosophy. The philosophy of God Jobs by contrast is close, close, limit, limit. That's not going to keep winning.
HP, its CEO said yesterday, PCs or printers sold 120 per minute. Two per second. Do you think that a good operating system, with a good ecosystem of machines and a good hardware is not going to succeed? And HP will bomb us.
Finally, I leave with the video of the presentation of HP:
