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.

    The track record of this community on what the greatest thing ever is and what will fail is not exactly stellar.

    Being great and not failing are two very different things. It's in your best interest to remember that.

    Full Disclosure:

    I have a strong personal distaste for Apple products due to high price tag with less features.

    In other words, you've decided to hate something because it's not designed with you in mind.

    What a loser.

    Doesn't anybody else find it funny that the only people claiming these things are "mindblowing" are their detractors?
