Austin Texas > Technology > Real Estate: There is lots of news for the computer tablets which are useful for agent in the field and for listing presentations. No more of decade old listing books with slicks and brochures.
HP released it tablet that is based called TouchPad, looks similar to Motorola's Xoom or Apple's iPad. It has a black case and 9.7-inch touch screen, and it weighs 1.6 pounds, which is about the same as Apple's iPad. But unlike tablets from competing hardware makers, HP uses its own operating system, called WebOS. The platform Palm OS has been developing and is also the source for the Blackberry Tablet. No price yet.
Motorola’s Xoom will be released on Feburary 24th. It has an Android 3.0 with a 10.1 inch HD wide screen, a front and rear camera and camcorder. Some got a sneak peak of the tablet from the super bowl commercials. It is expected to be compatible with WIFI and data plans. The tablet is estimated to be $700 which will make it a hard competition to the iPad.
The good news is that the TouchPad and Xoom can handle Adobe Flash unlike the iPad.
Big news is that Apple has already started producing a new iPad with a faster processor, HD camera, USB and SD card slot. Hopefully it will be released in the spring with a similar price range of the current iPads. Also they will be producing a smaller 7 inch iPad to compete with the Android tablets currently on the market.
Expect a lot of growth and changes in this area for 2011 and an impact on how we use these devices in real estate.
