A published report on Monday reveals that HP could be closing in on the
release of a couple of Android powered tablets. The 6 inch and 7 inch
slates would support phone calls, and would be offered in developing
markets like China and India. Considering where these devices might end
up, HP cannot afford to overprice these new slates. According to the
report, the price of each tablet will be no more than $250 off-contract.
There is
speculation that Hewlett Packard would use these devices to get its foot
in the door while it starts working on original models. And with these
tablets able to handle voice calls, HP could be looking to re-enter the
smartphone business.
