This is a simple RK3088 (dual A9) based tablet which will deliver fairly solid performance at a very good price. Nexus 7 is not selling well because you cannot find it at any store and Kindle fire is a locked down mess which most people dont view as a tablet but more as an advanced ereader, in any case there is no gmail or other latest apps in Kindle fire.

HP clearly solves this problem, watch for this device to hit Walmart, BestBuy etc, with a recognized brand, this is a sure shot winner, so just stop acting snobbish and go to bed.

The standard mail client in JellyBean is too much like the iOS mail client which is sad as you can’t delete multiple emails. So basically Google copied one of the crappy parts of iOS.

If one thing it should have copied is when you get notifications and you are listening to music it doesn’t blow out your ears. WebOS, and iOS are the only platforms that have the common sense of dropping the volume of your music instead of blaring the notification.

HP is such a lost cause, 3 times loser of a company. They buy LeftHand crappy SAN, they’ve run Tipping Point into the ground. They take on EDS which services Cisco networks while having crappy switching gear themselves. They pick up US Robotics switching to shore up the product offering. They blew a golden opportunity with the Palm acquisition. And we haven’t even gotten to the Autonomy fiasco. I say R.I.P. HP, oh how the mighty have fallen. Too bad Bill and Dave can’t come back from their grave to take their company back like Michael Dell is now.
