Hewlett-Packard seems to have taken a sudden liking to Android, the most popular mobile operating system in the world. Two of the six devices the company launched in India on Wednesday run this operating system.

Among them the HP SlateBook X2 is an Android version of their Envy X2 Windows 8 hybrid, while the HP Slate All-in-one is among the most affordable touch computing devices available in India at the moment.

Ketan Patel, director, consumer product category, PPS, HP India said they wanted to offer all choices to customers and hence the decision to provide Android products. "We have studied the market over the past couple of years and seen the growing acceptance of Android. We want to offer products in multiple form factors, architectures and operating systems," he told Business Today. He said it is just a corollary to this that the devices become more affordable on Android.
