Definire incredibile quanto avvenuto in casa HP, è forse riduttivo. Il famoso TouchPad, messo in vendita di recente a soli 99 euro, sarebbe stato soggetto ad un intervento non voluto, partendo dai magazzini con il sistema operativo Android 2.2 Froyo, al posto di WebOS.
Phil Robb, direttore del programma open-source di HP, ha “ordinato” immediatamente agli utenti di restituire il prodotto, mandandolo in assistenza: “As for the Touchpad units that have been allegedly purchased with a version of Android on them, we have begun an internal investigation on this within HP. We have confirmed that HP never authorized the distribution of any version of Android on the HP Touchpad. In addition, from a review of our manufacturing process, we believe that all Touchpad units have been shipped out of manufacturing with the webOS operating system only, and that no Touchpad units were shipped with Android, even by mistake. Hence, we presently believe that some person or persons unknown may have facilitated the delivery of these Android-based units strictly against the policy and authorization of HP”.
