3 Prototypes From HP, In Outline

Posted by timothy on from the /_337-photoshop-sk1llz dept.

tekgoblin writes "Since the recent HP buyout of PALM we have been waiting for what HP may have in store for us. Well HP's CTO Phil McKinney has tweeted some pictures of 3 new devices that could be released in the near future." Note: the pictures' most relevant bits are blacked out with the subtlety of an expurgated FBI document, but they have me curious, especially about the wrist-worn device.

  1. MS Paint Prototypes? by 0100010001010011 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Here's some photos of my hand with black bocks over everything. But they're prototypes. I swear. Please don't buy something from Apple.

    Ooh! Look! They've invented paper and the $0.99 solar-powered calculator!

    HP's already announced and seemingly canceled amazing new Win7 tablet. They've bought WebOS and then suggested that they're going to stuff it in printers, so forget about tablets for now. So what are they doing here? More stuff that doesn't exist or won't leave the lab? Or won't be sold until I've already bought my iPad 2?

    Why don't these companies mimic Apple where it matters? Don't rumor, tease, prototype, spin, et cyk? Shut up until you've got something work talking about...and then release it!

      They'll release it as soon as they figure out how to require it to use up an ink cartridge once a week.

    So, this is HP's plan:

    Put out a few pictures of nothing, and let the geeks speculate on what it is. Then mine the responses for the best ideas. Voila, a plan for the future!
