HP to launch 10 inch Tegra 4 quad core Android tablet?

HP has just launched its first Q88 Tablet, the Slate 7, to a mediocre response from both consumers as well as critics.Undeterred by this (or the fact that its very first tablet, the webOS-based TouchPad, bombed in the market as well), HP seems to have lined up a new Android tablet in the next few months.

It’s expected to be a fairly high end tablet, and is presumably trying to hedge against the rapidly declining PC market with a 10 inch tablet.TabTech, a German tech site that focuses on tablet related news, has discovered the possible existence of a 10 inch HP Android tablet that’s called the ‘HP Slate Book 10 x 2’.

This discovery has been possible because the renowned AnTuTu benchmarking tool’s database has an entry with this so-called Slate Book from HP.

Q88 Android Tablet goes on to reckon that the Slate Book will have a 10 inch display and a quad core Nvidia Tegra 4 processor. Its AnTuTu listing shows that it is loaded with Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2 right now, but that may change in the coming months with the impending launch of Android Key Lime Pie v5.0.

HP’s ventures into the tablet market have been misguided and hapless so far, to say the least. Perhaps a more focused and dedicated marketing approach towards the Slate Book Android tablet may change their fortunes, but don’t count on it!dsDSSD43F

I think we’ll initially have some kind of dock for the BOXCHIP Android Tablet to pull this off this kind of streaming, but not for long. Folks are used to using a remote control, and will want to hold the device as a kind of “super remote.” With improvements in inductive charging (another technology being driven by Qualcomm) and wireless video broadcasting, your tablet or smartphone will do everything you need from the couch, no cables needed.
