根據(jù)ReadWrite網(wǎng)站報(bào)導(dǎo)，惠普公司(Hewlett-Packard Co.)正準(zhǔn)備推出一系列基于Google公司 Android操作系統(tǒng)的平板電腦。對(duì)于惠普來(lái)說(shuō)，這可說(shuō)是該公司發(fā)展方向的一大轉(zhuǎn)變。 惠普公司曾在2011年8月推出TouchPad平板電腦，盡管業(yè)界多數(shù)給予正面評(píng)價(jià)，然而，該公司卻在這項(xiàng)產(chǎn)品高調(diào)推出的48天后宣告放棄。 TouchPad平板電腦采用惠普收購(gòu) Palm 取得的 webOS 操作系統(tǒng)。在惠普決定放棄 TouchPad 時(shí)，該公司宣布仍會(huì)持續(xù)開(kāi)發(fā) webOS 為一款開(kāi)放原始碼的平臺(tái)，同時(shí)也將會(huì)在平板電腦中繼續(xù)使用該操作系統(tǒng)。 然而，從那時(shí)候開(kāi)始，市場(chǎng)上不斷地出現(xiàn)一些更具吸引力的新款A(yù)ndroid平板電腦，而且也普偏地受到消費(fèi)者的喜愛(ài)。同時(shí)，Android平板電腦還開(kāi)始威脅到蘋(píng)果公司一向強(qiáng)勢(shì)的平板電腦市場(chǎng)地位。因此，如果這一報(bào)導(dǎo)屬實(shí)的話(huà)，那么就表示惠普公司認(rèn)為采用基于 webOS 的產(chǎn)品將難以與 Android 平板電腦相抗衡。 許多開(kāi)發(fā)人員也曾一度相當(dāng)看好基于 webOS 的平板電腦。而今，大部份的開(kāi)發(fā)人員都轉(zhuǎn)向了 Android 系統(tǒng)。 根據(jù)ReadWrite網(wǎng)站的報(bào)導(dǎo)，惠普公司正開(kāi)發(fā)中的 Android 平板電腦將是一款配備N(xiāo)vidia公司 Tegra 4 應(yīng)用處理器的高階產(chǎn)品，據(jù)稱(chēng)這將會(huì)是市場(chǎng)上首款采用 Tegra 4 的平板電腦。同時(shí)，該消息來(lái)源也透露惠普的首款 Android 平板電腦即將發(fā)布。不過(guò)，針對(duì)這項(xiàng)開(kāi)發(fā) Android 平板電腦的傳聞，惠普公司拒絕評(píng)論。 本文授權(quán)編譯自EE Times，版權(quán)所有，謝絕轉(zhuǎn)載 編譯：Susan Hong 參考英文原文：Is HP developing Android tablets?，by Dylan McGrath

{pagination} Is HP developing Android tablets? Dylan McGrath Hewlett-Packard Co. is reportedly preparing to launch a series of tablets based on Google Inc.’s Android operating system. The development, reported by tech blog site ReadWrite, would be a major course change for HP. The firm scrapped its TouchPad tablet in August 2011, 48 days after its high-profile launch, despite positive reviews. TouchPad ran ran the webOS operating system HP acquired when it bought Palm. At the time it discontinued the TouchPad, HP announced that it would continue to develop webOS as an open-source platform and would continue to use the OS in tablets. Since then, though, a number of compelling new Android tablets have hit stores and proven to be popular. For the first time, Android tablets are collectively threatening Apple’s stronghold on the tablet market. The report, if accurate, could signal that HP has concluded it can’t compete with Android tablets with products based on webOS. Many developers had at one time clamored for webOS tablets. But, by now, developers as a group are getting pretty comfortable with Android. According to the ReadWrite report, the first HP Android tablet will be a high-end tablet featuring Nvidia Corp.’s Tegra 4 applications processor. The report, which cites anonymous sources, indicates that this first Android tablet could be announced soon. The report also indicates that it could be one of the first tablets on the market to feature Tegra 4.
