webOS tablet coming from HP in Q1 2011?

Rumor

According to Engadget, “several trusted sources” have informed them that an HP webOS tablet is due out in Q1 of 2011. The report says that HP’s VP of the Personal Systems Group, Todd Bradley, informed employees of the release timeline yesterday during an all-hands meeting. The report goes on to say that the mysterious tablet will be known internally by the code name “Hurricane.” Not a lot to go on here, but if you are a webOS junkie waiting for something bigger than webOS 1.4.5, it’s better than nothing!

      I was going to make that point but by referencing that song Timewarping for no good reason other than it was on the radio this morning. (I listen to some right crap…)

    I’ve lost all hope for HP, granted they didn’t start with much in my book.

      Did I miss something or did you mean Déjà vu?

    *Warning: in this post when I say tablet I mean the new generation not Tablet PCs – I use them, they are awesome and I have been a tablet/tablet PC fan since 2003*

    Okay I like HP but this is ridiculous. They were going to be amongst the first to release a win 7 tablet, then they were going to be amongst the first to offer up a decent Android tablet and now they are going to be amongst the last to offer any kind of tablet. Come on HP stop dithering and make a flipping product already.

    Let me hop in the DeLorean, set it to last january and head to the store to cop one. (Yes, a back to the future reference. Sue me.)

    It’s finally happened. BGR reporting has gotten so slow that they’ve actually gone back in time.

    For sure a lot will be lining up on computer stores on 2011 for this.. Is this the IPAD version of HP? Very interesting

    HP is just trying to jump on the tablet/iPad bandwagon. WebOS, while being a good OS, didn’t stick. I doubt another tablet with nothing to stand out from the iPad (beside maybe the price) will do any good for HP.

    I can see them using the Scorpions music to promote this device. Let this device “rock you like a hurricane”. Just watch…

    That’s really amazing news now we can enjoy another Tablet from HP in near future. HP is very famous brand for its durable and reliable products and we hope that this will also be their great creation. This tablet has very elegant and decent design.
