After
its failed acquisition of Palm and abandonment of webOS, Hewlett-Packard (
HPQ) will now reportedly look towards
Android to power its next-generation of mobile devices. Sources
speaking to ReadWrite claim that the company is planning to release a high-end tablet that will be equipped with
NVIDIA’s new Tegra 4 processor and powered by
Google’s (
GOOG) mobile operating system. It was also reported that
HP may launch an Android-powered smartphone, however earlier comments from CEO Meg Whitman indicated that
a new handset won’t be released in 2013. The news of
HP’s migration to Android comes shortly after the company
launched a new computer based on Google’s Chrome OS. HP’s high-end Android tablet will reportedly be announced soon.
