Bangalore: HP has apparently delayed its Android tablet, which it originally planned to release by the end of this year. HP isn't giving up on Android completely. From what we can gather, the project isn't dead, it's just being delayed until 2011. There's no indication what led to the decision, but the safest bet is that HP didn't want to spread itself thin by developing tablets for multiple platforms, reports The New York Times.
Following its Palm acquisition announcement, HP reportedly canceled its planned Windows 7 tablet months ago. The company went on to announce that it would release a WebOS tablet by October, so it likely wanted to focus on that release for this year.
With so many other manufacturers working on Android tablets - including Acer, Asus, LG, and Dell - HP may want to wait until it can offer something completely unique, and not just another slate that runs Android.
