HTC has big plans for their first tablet. Unfortunately, we will not see such a device anytime soon. With all of the different Android tablets currently on the market or coming soon, they all share similar features which HTC is trying to stay away from. They are still looking for that “wow” feature that will spotlight their device, making it the must-have Android tablet. In a recent statement from HTC’s Online Community Manager, Eric Lin stated that,
“We are always looking at it, but, right now, the whole idea is that in order to be successful with a tablet, you need to have something compelling. And not just a compelling form factor.”
This is very true, we don’t want to see the same old device coming out and with HTC holding huge ground in the Android community consumers hold them in a higher regard.
“You’ve seen how, at Computex, there were 80 different Android tablets,†[Lin said]. “So if we just release an Android tablet, then we’re one of 81… Whereas, if we have a compelling feature, a really compelling use, anything like that, then it’ll help us to stand out. It’s going to take a lot of work searching for that.â€
As consumers and Android fans alike, we must wait patiently for an Android tablet from HTC. We can trust that when it finally arrives, we will not be disappointed.
