With the recent introduction of the iPad many companies are hard at work trying to find a product that will be an iPad killer. Hewlett-Packard, Acer, Microsoft and a suite of other companies are trying to work on products that will hopefully meet this category.
Although Apple's iPad will generally beat out most of its competition, Google's new slate computer will hopefully give them a run for their money.
Recently Eric E. Schmidt, the chief executive of Google, told people that the new slate computer would run the Android operating system. He also said that they have been working towards getting a device that makes it easy for people to get books, magazines and other content on a tablet.
Although Google is excited about their new slate, they are aware that they may not get it perfect the first time but feel like this is a common theme through this new technology.
Google also announced that the device will run Adobe Flash content and games. This is one way Goggle can stay ahead of Apple and compete within similar categories. Apple recently announced that they will not be taking applications that contain any Adobe software, all products must use Apple's property software.
Google feels like they can succeed in this category even though Apple has most of the market share now. Multiscreen products are growing beyond Apple's devices and this is where Google is going to take advantage.
Google says they will probably be running the Chrome Web browser from Google on the new slate. They will offer a completely open platform-an approach to counter Apple's closed App storemodel.
