End of a short era

Posted November 8, 2011

After a little over two months of having the HP Touchpad, I decided that the experiment is over.  I recently sold the Touchpad on Ebay.  I did sell it for a profit and I have been contemplating whether I should get the Amazon Kindle Fire.  Unless the reviews for it are mind blowing, it doesn’t look like I’ll head that direction.  Why did I sell the Touchpad?  Was it the fact that it didn’t have an extensive eco system like the iPad?  Did it have anything to do with the pretty cheap hardware?  I would say that these had a contributing factor, but I would say the main reason is pretty much the same reasons I gave when the iPad first was released… I’m more of a content creator than a content consumer.  Don’t get me wrong, I definitely consume a lot of content, but I need something that I can program with while I’m consuming content at the same time.  Now that I’ve sold my Touchpad, HP can officially kill the WebOS division… or at least sell it.
