HP PalmPad, tablet Web OS in arrivo nel 2011

I tablet, la nuova frontiera della tecnologia del 2010, sono oramai divenuti realtà ed HP, dopo la cancellazione dello Slate, sta lavorando ad un nuovo dispositivo basato su WebOS, che finalmente ha un nome: Palmpad!
La parola PalmPad è stata pronunciata direttamente da Todd Bradley, vicepresidente di HP Personal Systems, nel corso di un incontro avvenuto con alcuni analisti del settore, e guarda caso coincide con uno dei nomi registrati dal colosso americano HP lo scorso luglio.
Questo nuovo tablet potrà avvalersi di un sistema operativo Web OS sviluppato da Palm, acquisita alcuni mesi fa con una operazione da 1.2 miliardi di dollari, e si andrà a proporre come reale alternativa all’iPad di Apple, che ha già conquistato il mercato con milioni di pezzi venduti in tutto il mondo.
Quando sarà presentato ufficialmente? Difficile dirlo con certezza, ma a quanto pare è stato lo stesso Bradley a fornire un periodo indicativo alludendo al CES 2011 di Las Vegas, che sarà il ‘main event‘ invernale dal 6 al 9 gennaio.

as the Xoom decides when to quit an acipplation; customization is possible but more hard than the iPad2. In small, the Xoom user interface is a work in progress fantastic the makings but now quite flawed. Operating System: The iPad2 uses Apple’s IOS. It works, but it uses cooperative multitasking which (in theory) is less effective than the full multitasking on the Xoom which uses a version of Google’s Android designed for tablets. In do, they both work fine and I doubt anyone would notice the difference. Applications: iPad2 has 70,000 apps available from the Apple App store and it also runs the 300,000 apps available for the iPhone. Xoom now has around 60 apps and it can run Android phone apps (but they are stretched in one direction which makes them look weird). Some of the iPad2 acipplations are pretty impressive GarageBand for example. There are many games on the iPad2, and just a few games made for the Xoom. If this doesn’t improve quickly, the Xoom is sunk. After all, acipplations are generally the reason people buy these devices. Browsing: Because of the screen aspect ratio that I mentioned, I rather browsing on the iPad2. The Xoom has Adobe Flash and the iPad2 doesn’t, but so far I haven’t come across a single instance everywhere this has been an issue. I’m sure there are very many sites not compatible with iPad2, but I haven’t browsed to one of them yet. Camera: I don’t use the camera much, and I’m not really sure if either is better. In the family, the Xoom owner says the Xoom is better, the iPad2 owner says the iPad2. The Xoom has flash and iPad2 doesn’t which is a win for Xoom, but the Xoom seems slower to take a picture. Speakers: The Xoom has two small speakers, iPad2 has one slightly larger speaker. The sound is to some extent better feature on the iPad2 and the Xoom cannot achieve the same volume as the iPad2. But they are both pretty poor use headset or an external speaker if you want decent audio. Battery life: Hard for me to give an exact comparison, but based on family usage it seems the iPad2 has the edge here, but not by much. Internal storage: The Xoom has 1GB of RAM and 32 GB of flash storage. The iPad2 has 512MB of RAM and 16GB, 32GB or 64GB of flash storage I bought the 64GB model. External storage: The Xoom has an external card slot that supports SD cards, but the software was not ready in time for the product release. The slot is inoperative until Motorola releases an operating system update. The iPad2 has no external storage support. User Experience: The iPad2 was up and running quite quickly. I connected the device to iTunes and it automatically updated to the latest version of the operating
