Star Tablets: Sought by Nobody, Hyped by Everybody
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Mon 5th Oct 2009 20:33 UTC
PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless Ah, the tablet computer. For over two decades now have companies tried to get the public to buy the darn things, and yet, despite all the efforts, promises, analysts, and even personal involvement by Bill Gates, they simply never took off. Recently, the tablet has seen renewed attention - but will they succeed now?

I would buy a tablet PC if: a) it cost less than $1000 USD b) it supported multi-touch d) it had reasonable hardware specs Unfortunately, I don't know of any tablet PC satisfying these requirements. Maybe there is no market because there are no good tablets?


The HP TX2 meets all those criteria (unless "reasonable hardware specs" includes a Wacom digitizer [pressure-sensitivity in apps like Photoshop] -- the TX2 uses N-Trig, IIRC):
