IPAD, Tablet PC, and death Touchpad HP

Apple, IOS began in the genesis of an operating system for phones and digital media player. As far as the world thought then, it meant very limited mobile operating system for writing messages, phone calls, plus a little more for handling audio / video. We now know that this was part inspired by several stages, not only to impose a new OS for the PC market, but to do what no other OS has been made since the dominant growth of Microsoft Windows. That is, successfully capture a significant share of the PC market.

The second part of this plan was the introduction of Apple App Store in July 2008 that elevated the iPhone and IPod Touch into a mini-PCs and portable gaming systems.
This is the third part, which is the most important part. It was the processing of the operating system IOS within the two "limited" devices. As demand for applications exploded opportunities IOS has been pushed. Apple, responded and IOS evolved.

Two years later, in April 2010, Apple introduced IPad; the fourth part of the plan.Tablet PCs, which, although still limited compared to Windows PC, had an OS that is already two years of practical consumer sophistication.
This is more than half a million applications to work on it.

Tablet PCs have been around for decades with our gaining much traction.
Even mighty Microsoft, which is a tablet version of Windows, for ten years before the IPAD, and could not pick up pills to nothing more than a niche product. Apple, lights on the market. Its opening month sales blew away all sales IPad Tablet PCs last year. Caught flat-leading notebook manufacturers, understanding the threat to Apple in the portable PC market, there was no other choice but to throw himself competing tablets.

Rush is the key word.
Where leisure Apple three years of testing both devices and operating systems under the guise of mobile phones such as HP, Dell, RIM, Sony, Acer did not. In addition, although all these bodies are fully capable of getting chips and soldering of production rights, the OS was a different story.

Apple, do not share it with anyone else running.
This meant, the leading PC manufacturers had to look elsewhere and the elections were not perfect. Most computer manufacturers passed Windows Tablet OS, which says a lot about its ability to compete in this market. Most turned to the Android from Google. HP acquired WebOS from Palm for the touch pad and use my RIM Blackberry Tablet OS for its line of Playbook. All of these operating systems are catching up in terms of performance IOS tablet.

This does not mean, IOS is perfect, ask anyone who wants true multitasking capabilities.
But much further along the IOS for the refinement of the curve, and that makes the performance IPad more attractive for the average user. Mixed reviews given to first base IPad competitors illustrate the growing pains in a brutal war of pills that did not even exist a little over a year ago.

Announcement that HP has laid off the touchpad after only 49 days on the market shows just how devastating the poor reviews were for immature tablets.HP saw the writing on the wall immediately after the IPad.
In anticipation that the seismic shift in the mobile PC from laptop to tablet was inevitable, HP readying themselves for a shift and WebOS purchased from Palm as the basis of its strategy pills.

Unfortunately, the first HP product was hopeless and the words came out quickly, killing the enthusiasm of release.
HP shipped 200,000 units Touchpad for dealers. During these 49 days only 25 thousand have been sold to the touchpad, leaving a huge stock of unsold goods. The results were so bad, HP totally killed his tablet PC program. It's amazing what can happen in 49 days.With nowhere to go, the largest PC manufacturer in the world are now selling off their local network as a whole.

All this in less than two months.
Like I said, devastating.

This should not be so, of course.
Consumer Reports' September 2011 issue of seventeen Tablet PC reviews and then tops the list of the best IPad Android 3,1 tablets, Samsung Galaxy and Motorola Xoom, were not far behind. However, Motorola Xoom sales do not look better than the TouchPad, in spite of the love of many techno-boys with Android. Blackberry Playbook and did OK in the review, and can not be good enough that can develop into two races of the OS.Touchpad HP was later acquired by CU's too late for consideration this month.

All of this bodes well for strong Microsoft, which now have to wait until next year to get into the game. That's when Windows 8 is rumored to be released. Next year may be too late, even if Microsoft, a new tablet OS is better.
