You know most of the time, it’s the availability of software that decides whether a platform can make it or crash and burn. Take for example the iOS devices. These are not the most powerful devices out there but at the same time, they are powered by a juggernaut of a software library known as the iTunes App Store.
I certainly hope that HP thinks the same way (that software is the way to go), and while having a major mobile game developer, GAMEVIL, on board can be seen as some progress for its new webOS platform, time only will tell on whether other major developers will make the jump to yet another platform/competitor to the established BIG TWO of Google Android and iOS.
Check out the press release below for GAMEVIL’s launch of KAMI RETRO HD for the HP TouchPad:
