Android and the race to the bottom

by
in hardware on (#39F)
One thing is certain about Android phones and tablets: it keeps getting cheaper to have one. HP has thrown itself into the fray with a $99 tablet boasting some mediocre specs and a great price tag.
The tablet rocks specs not that much better than HP’s ill-fated Palm TouchPad. The 7-inch screen has a resolution of 1024 x 600 and the package is powered by an Allwinner Technology A31 SoC that features four Cortex A7 cores clocked at 1 GHz along with a Power VR SGX544MP2 GPU and 1GB of RAM. But it’s only $99.
.
Get one now for cheap, so when they release Android 5 ("Lollipop") you can cash in on all the rumored new features , like fitness links, upgrades to security, audio, and video, and the results of Project Hera, "Google’s effort to unify the Chrome browser with Android and Search."
