et tu, Wall Street Journal?
It seems like only yesterday I lamented the lack of awareness of the Tablet PC by Gartner. Actually, that was yesterday (http://sumocat.blogspot.com/2008/10/gartner-counting-is-overrated.html). Thus, I was doubly disappointed to read today (via GBM (http://www.gottabemobile.com/2008/10/16/touch-screen-announcements-targeting-windows-7/)) the Wall Street Journal is equally clueless.
"[HP] is now developing a consumer notebook machine with a touch screen that will debut before year end." (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122411503892938579.html)
Really? They're "now" developing a consumer notebook with touchscreen? Funny. I could have sworn they did just that last year with their tx1000 entertainment notebook (http://www.gottabemobile.com/2007/02/28/hps-pavilion-tx1000-touchscreen-tablet-pc-now-on-sale/) with option for touchscreen, which has been updated to the tx2500 with touchscreen included in all models. Seems strange they'd be "now" developing a machine they've sold for more than a year.
In fairness, they did mention HP already had a touchscreen notebook... after crediting the Touchsmart (http://www.gottabemobile.com/2008/06/10/introducing-the-new-hp-touchsmart/) desktop as the beginning of their touchscreen push, even though the txl000 was released first... Tablets get no respect.
