Maybe they’re too embarrassed. They have lost an awful lot of credibility over this. And by the time they’re done with the Android version (IF they ever finish it…), most people will have shifted to Windows tablets, which are far far more capable than anything Android or iOS.
I saw a demo of the new Dell Venue 8 Pro, which will become available at the end of the month. I was MIGHTILY impressed. The quad-core Bay Trail is phenomenal, finally a CPU that’s light, portable, very good battery performance and yet very very capable (it simply crushes any ARM chip.) In fact that thing has the power of an i3 laptop and it runs every Windows application. Price: $299. Unbelievable… I’ll definitely buy one.
