Gadget Labs: New Tablet Computers To Challenge iPad
For small businesses still mulling selection of a tablet computing platform, Gadget Labs recaps recent product news including an announcement from Lenovo and speculation about a product from Hewlett-Packard.
“Tablets that could potentially take on the iPad are getting closer to market — and some of them are taking direct aim at Apple.
PC maker Lenovo has chosen a name for its Android tablet that it says will be in the hands of consumers by the end of the year. The device will be called the “LePad,” and will debut in China. Last week, HP trademarked the name “PalmPad” in a move that signals the company may be set to bring out its own tablet, based on Palm’s webOS operating system. Separately, Dell offered its Streak to some U.S. gadget reviewers and said it expects to make an announcement about pricing and availability of the device in the next few days.”
