HP is Entering in Mobile Market, First mobile device could be Andriod

HP is one of the most popular vendor of computer PCs and laptops. Now, there is the rumor that HP is entering in the mobile devices market and the first mobile could be an Andriod device.

They are working on a series of Andriod devices and first could be Andriod tablet powered by Nividia's Tegra 4 processors.

I don't think so that there is any obstacle for HP in entering this market because they have the financial resources, relations, distribution, a strong core and a number of business customers and good reputation and great history in the market.

If HP launched a highly differentiated quad-core Tegra 4 tablet for US $199 then there is a chance for HP otherwise good luck, said by Julein Blin.

HP may be announce its Andriod tablet very soon. However, HP is not stronger in Andriod but they have recently released their own Chromebook. The company plan is that, it is possible that HP's Andriod can be shown in a private meeting at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona later this month.

Andriod tablet will help the HP in this market. They also introduced their Windows 8 tablet in eddition to Chromebook. Now it is a big challenge for HP to compete major PC OEMs such as Lenovo and Acer as they offer Windows based products, chromebooks and Andriod tablets and there is more competition for vendors now, as they are introducing devices with different operating systems. Some system should be better for one environment than others. The challenge is, you have two core players control the OS and ecosystem.

It makes sense for HP to focus on Andriod because Andriod has a great app ecosystem than webOS and Windows mobile at the moment.

Mini tablets are also gaining more attention of users nowadays. Apple has the trouble to compete Nexus 7 and the kindle fire HD, that's why they introduced mini tablets. So, HP should take advantage of this and they should jump directly to mini tablets.

Final Words


Currently, Samsung is the king of Andriod mobile devices in the market and other vendors such as Lenovo, ASUS and Acer are trailing far behind.

In this situation where HP can be competitive in this market? To compete the other vendors HP should have to differentiate its software on top of Andriod and they have to offer competitive pricing and take advantage of its distribution network.
