Any guesses what’s all this hullabaloo about? Well, I know it’s pretty obvious but nothing is yet confirmed besides these two images.
On August 4th, Robert Stephens — founder of Best Buy & The Geek Squad, randomly tweeted two pictures one-after-another, which thrilled all the geeks and tech blogs around. Although, I don’t consider myself as a geek, but still I decided to play my part i.e. to entice readers about what’s cooking at Best Buy.
Apparently, it is a prototype tablet with the label of Best Buy’s in-house brand – Rocketfish, and it looks fairly similar to the much-anticipated HP Slate. But, this obviously can’t be enough to fill the cravings. People have already started to speculate its features, operating system, and pricing. While some perceive it as a re-branded HP Slate, others emphasize on its possibility of being Android-based. Truth be told, it’s too early to say anything.
Even Stephens himself didn’t take it too seriously, as he later tweeted:
“I’ve been tweeting photos of tablet for months. So much for the realtime web. No one should be surprised. Who do you think makes Insignia?”
Furthermore, he told NY Times that it’s just an empty shell right now. That means nothing really could be expected. But, being a tablet-hungry person, I hope they load this sleek shell with some staggering features, and Android OS (fingers crossed) sometime soon, and we get to read more about this product directly from the man himself.P.S. God bless Twitter.
