Google Preparing iPad Rival?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the here's-hoping dept.

dazedNconfuzed noted an update in the ongoing rumor train about the Google iPad Competitor. It would be based on Android (not ChromeOS) and supposedly Eric Schmidt was telling people about it at a party in LA recently. If any Googlers want to leak me s3cr3t information, I promise anonymity, though without an actual product, price or date it's tough to get really excited. But the iPad clearly has significant limitations that someone else can capitalize on.

    There was a country where people thought having total control over everything would be good. It was called the Soviet Union. It didn't last very long.

    The transformation from an agrarian society was already underway when the Soviet Union was formed. In fact, it was probably the political destabilization caused by that very transformation that allowed the Soviet Union to be formed. And 50 years as a country is not particularly impressive. That's a bit like bragging that your marriage lasted 6 months.
