HTC is NOT working on an iPad-Killer
HTC confirmed last Friday that they have no plans to produce a slate-type device in the coming future. This is despite earlier rumors which gave hint to an Android or Chromium tablet. One thing is for sure though – the day HTC decides to penetrate into the tablet market, it will do so with something that will shake the iPad tablet world.

It really wouldn’t be that hard to find a compelling feature that the iPad lacks….flash, camera, video, multitasking, a CLOCK…..I’m surprised that HTC’s PR department would issue this statement and I wouldn’t be surprised if a tablet that FAR outperforms the iPad hits the market in the near future….my guess is around the holidays.

PS: HTC did churned-out a tablet 2 year back, but was not able to get much success with it. The tablet/MID (Mobile Internet Device) came with Windows Mobile 6.1 and featured a huge 5-inch display. I am talking about HTC Advantage
