Tribune Company Developing Its Own Tablet Device
Amidst a series of layoffs throughout the newspaper chain, the Tribune Company is apparently working on developing its own tablet computer. The tabloid will resemble Google’s Android system and will be free or largely discounted to subscribers of Tribune’s newspapers.
Eddy Hartenstein, Tribune’s chief executive, is the tablet’s biggest advocate, personally briefing people on his vision for the product, said four people familiar with the matter. He’s a longtime technologist, having founded DirecTV. Hartenstein also sits on the boards of Sirius XM Radio, data-storage provider SanDisk and semiconductor giant Broadcom.
