Android and the Race to the Bottom

story imageOne 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 Project Hera , "Google's effort to unify the Chrome browser with Android and Search."

The real Hewlett Packard is not HP, it's the test and measurement equipment spin off, Agilent. Unfortunately the line of calculators stayed with the printer ink cartridge company known as HP.

My 15C acquired in 1987 is luckily still going strong.
