Probably not too many at the moment. I think the the SDK just came out in the past month, but theres plenty of time for the developers to work on them before the retail products come out.]]>Jun 1st 2010 10:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/meego-moorestown-powered-tablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/meego-moorestown-powered-tablet-hands-on/Jun 1st 2010 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/meego-moorestown-powered-tablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/meego-moorestown-powered-tablet-hands-on/Steve Chippy is just awesome.

no,no, apparently they're all happy just with announcements]]>Jun 1st 2010 6:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/meego-moorestown-powered-tablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/meego-moorestown-powered-tablet-hands-on/
As much as I am ambivalent about the iPad, it is amazing how Apple have wrongfooted the entire industry.
The industry muttered about how pads/slates/tablets would never catch on, the went 'meh' when Apple announced it and now they're literally scrambling over the bodies to get one out.

"THEY'VE SOLD HOW MANY...."

It's just a shame the iPad is a $100 device being sold for $400. ]]>Jun 1st 2010 6:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/meego-moorestown-powered-tablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/meego-moorestown-powered-tablet-hands-on/
They way it went was, tablets hit the market, badly marketed, sorely lacking in usability. The strategy, put full computers in a tablet format because it SEEMED like a good idea. It failed.

Fast forward and those same companies misinterpreted the iPad as the same idea they had already tried and proved to be a failure.]]>Jun 1st 2010 6:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/meego-moorestown-powered-tablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/meego-moorestown-powered-tablet-hands-on/
You're right, but that's for the Windows7 tablets not for meego/android one's.]]>Jun 1st 2010 6:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/meego-moorestown-powered-tablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/meego-moorestown-powered-tablet-hands-on/
Lol, you're wrong.

Tablets have been sold for many years, just not in the cheap market. Real tablets are highly sophisticated devices and not merely cheap netbook clones without a keyboard...]]>Jun 1st 2010 6:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/meego-moorestown-powered-tablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/meego-moorestown-powered-tablet-hands-on/
Yes, these fall under the "catch-up2 strategy they're now adopting...remember last year putting these same OS versions was intended for touch enabled netbooks which are all but an abandoned dream now. ]]>Jun 1st 2010 6:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/meego-moorestown-powered-tablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/meego-moorestown-powered-tablet-hands-on/
We're talking about the consumer market here...I've been interviewed many times on my doorstep by some random company using tablet computers...no one is doubting they have some commercial usability. But now the race is to get them in peoples homes. ]]>Jun 1st 2010 6:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/meego-moorestown-powered-tablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/meego-moorestown-powered-tablet-hands-on/
the phrase "a big iPod touch" could be looked at in a more positive sense because the iPhone/iPod touch basically reinvented the tablet, whether intentional or not. after those devices were created, and we saw how people used them, it wasn't much of a leap to say: hey, let's make this bigger to improve the web-browsing, video, and reading experience]]>Jun 1st 2010 8:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/meego-moorestown-powered-tablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/meego-moorestown-powered-tablet-hands-on/It was actually at the Google I/O where somebody talked about it and said something like this. "These are products for something the consumer doesn't know he wants. We must tell him. We must create the market. Only then we will be successful."
And there is no doubt, the thing what Apple does better than any other competitor out there is CREATING a market! They understand it brilliantly to work with the media and the public and their fan base. There is absolutely no denying that. Everybody knows it but no one else seems to be able to conquer the same.

That was cancelled...people are not keen on x86 in mobile devices...it's just not going to work.

Get your facts straight. You have to remember that especially since the iPad is merely two months old in terms of retail, all the physical development time that went into it. On the product development and the reconfiguring of the OS. It's not as if they just tossed the iPhone OS in there. That costs the company money. Money that has to come in through successful product sales to fund non-paying initiatives like innovation and always being ahead of the curve. So far they've done that for 7 or 8 years currently.

Here is a link to the actual build cost as well. $259, that's a bit different than you guess. http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/apr2010/tc2010046_788280.htm]]>Jun 1st 2010 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/meego-moorestown-powered-tablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/meego-moorestown-powered-tablet-hands-on/Yeah, I can see it now.

Right now they are doing all the muscle work and they have the best contacts to literally every manufacturer in the netbook industry. Here Intel can really show what domination looks like and push their co-joined OS into the market.
