HP said to be considering Google’s android
Commenting on the BusinessWeek article announcing that HP Is Studying Android for PC Use, an anonymous reader made the rather pertinent observation that Smartphones appear to be leading the computer industry into the future, where you essentially get a “thin” OS (e.g. Android, iPhone, Symbian, Blackberry, WinMo, WebOS, etc.) and you “build” the functionality you want on the device from an app store. If/when HTML5, PhoneGap, BONDI, etc. become mainstream, essentially all the same apps will run on all of the “thin” OSes, so it will simply be a matter of picking the device you like with the user interface you are comfortable with.
