HP breaks $100 mark with latest budget tablet

Posted on May 21, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

As an OEM, how are you going to succeed in the Android tablet market? You can deliver some top-tier hardware, such that shoppers know they’re getting the best, you can aim to appeal to budget-minded shoppers looking for the best value for their dollar, or you can go after users who just want the cheapest tablet they can find, bells-and-whistles (and performance, and who know what else) be damned. So far, HP’s been floating somewhere between those latter two groups with its tablet offerings: they’re ...

HP discounts Slate 7 tablet, but is it enough?

Posted on July 5, 2013 by Stephen Schenck

Back in April, we saw HP slowly get back into the mobile device game with the launch of its Slate 7 Android tablet. It was pretty affordable, and had some interesting features, like Beats Audio on a non-HTC model, but we ultimately found it to be just too pricy for its lower-end hardware. At the time, we noted that if HP ever got around to shaving just a bit more off its already-low price tag, the Slate 7 could finally reach that point where it was cheap enough to offset some of those hardware concerns – we mentioned coming ...

HP Slate 7 Tablet Goes Up for Sale, Attempts to Capture Budget Market

Posted on April 26, 2013 by admin

Remember back during the Mobile World Congress when we saw HP show up, not with news of the miraculous revival of webOS, but with some Android hardware of all things, showing off the budget-priced Slate 7 tablet? HP told us to expect the Slate 7 to go up for sale sometime in August, and now with only a couple days left in the month HP is making good on its word, kicking-off online sales of the Android tablet. So, how cheap is “budget-priced”? The HP Slate 7 manages to undercut the Nexus 7 with its $170 price tag. ...

Mobile World Congress 2013 Recap

Posted on February 28, 2013 by Stephen Schenck

Technically, the Mobile World Congress may finish-up tomorrow, but with all the big smartphone and tablet events over, we’re calling it a wrap. We’ve had a great time the past several days bringing you news of all the new hardware and software companies came to the event to promote, and as we now begin to recuperate and get back to business as usual, we wanted to take a look back on MWC 2013 and everything it brought us. The week leading up to the MWC was filled with rumors, as we should expect, and while some played out, others ...

The Pocketnow Weekly Podcast, Episode 033: The Great MWC Wrap-Up

Posted on February 27, 2013 by Michael Fisher

We think it’s pretty fair to say that MWC 2013 was one part IFA and one part CES: a few stark disappointments peppered among some really amazing stuff. We’ve seen technology this week ranging from the incredible to the absurd – from the third iteration of ASUS’s wild Padfone concept to the improbable debut of a Kyocera Echo lookalike. The big guys have come out to play, too, but they’re a little shy this time around: neither Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8.0 nor Nokia’s midrange Lumias blew the roof off the joint. Even a few has-beens came out to confuse ...

Sorry HP, The Slate 7 Is Dead On Arrival; Nobody Trusts You Any More

Posted on February 26, 2013 by Jaime Rivera

I still remember the day when my home was literally made by HP. I come from the old Compaq days, and the first non-clone computer that I ever bought was a gorgeous Compaq Presario desktop, and I decided to match all that beauty and power with my first Pocket PC, the Compaq iPAQ H3630. Ah, those were the days. Compaq really knew how to either design or approve beautiful products. Back then, the iPAQ that I owned was made by HTC, and for those of you who remember what it was like to own a colored display on an aluminum body at the times when Palm dominated the ages with monochrome displays ...

HP Slate 7 vs. Google Nexus 7 (Video)

Posted on February 24, 2013 by Anton D. Nagy

We’ve seen HP unveil its seven-inch Android tablet, joining the game with their latest offering which, truth be told, could have had better specs. We have a hands-on video for you in case you missed the details of this tablet (which packs a dual-core 1.6GHz SoC, seven-inch screen at 1024 x 600 resolution 1GB of RAM , 8GB of flash, and expansion available via microSD). However, if you want to see it compared to the Nexus 7 you’re in the right place. Google’s pure-Android tablet made by ASUS ...

HP Slate 7 Hands On (Video)

Posted on February 24, 2013 by Brandon Miniman

HP is getting back into tablets, this time with Android (and not with webOS with the ill-fated Touchpad). Their first device in this category is a budget device that reminds us a lot of the Nexus 7 but with worse specs and a low price. It has a 7″ 1024×600 LCD display and is powered by an A9 Cortex CPU with 1GB of RAM. It’s running on Android 4.1 and comes without a skin on top of Android. Interestingly, it has Beats Audio, making it the first non-HTC device to bring this audio-enhancing technology since the aforementioned TouchPad. It also has 8GB of storage, but unlike ...

HP Releasing Sub-$200 Seven-Inch Android Tablet

Posted on February 24, 2013 by Stephen Schenck

If you managed to score a cheap HP TouchPad following the company’s shuttering of webOS, you may have tried installing Android on the tablet. Since then, we’ve seen HP branch out into Windows 8 tablets, but today we’re headed back to Android territory, with the company announcing a native Android device (no custom ROM hacking this time around), the seven-inch HP Slate 7. It’s clear that HP has its sights ...
