HP holding webOS event February 9th; PalmPad line may be revealed

Breaking January 4, 2011

Uh oh, it’s definitely going down — in addition to the flood of tablet devices headed to CES and Apple’s rumored next event detailing the new iPad around February, HP just sent out invites to a webOS event of its own happening on February 9th. What are we expecting? You mean besides the first PalmPad tablets? The wording on the invitation, pictured above, could mean we’re in store for multiple devices of varying sizes, thought we’re just speculating for the time being. The odds are good, however, that we can now completely discount earlier reports of Palm unveiling its PalmPad line at CES. But don’t despair, webOS fans… your OS of choice is just over a month away from being supersized.

        You really expect them to have more than one event after the Tech world has been waiting this long?… Please. That honestly doesn’t even make a lick of sense.

        they are revealing smartphones as well, so take that negative energy somewhere else. Why hate im confused.

    You’re too late Palm. I really do like WebOS, but waiting for the hardware has really turned me off. I’ll be making the move to Android and enjoying my Olympus before your event even happens.

      rim are still rolling out old hardware with a dodgy os, at least hpalm has the decent os, its just a case of waiting forthe hardware to match, and the pre 2 is good, so if they bring out stuff that match or best it, i’m happy, (also hope for sat nav as well)

    “The odds are good, however, that we can now completely discount earlier reports of Palm unveiling its PalmPad line at CES can now be completely discounted.”

    So does this mean we should discount it twice?

    This my friends is going to be interesting.

    Palm is buying RIM or vise versa, and they are going to be building a super tablet that runs on Nintendo GameBoy parts?!?!?!

    naw just joking…. i think it’s going to be talking about a new OS.

    HP will be doing Webos related events like Apple does from now on, and the devices as rumored at precentral and webosworld will be sick. The specs are all from advance technology, again remember people who keep thinking this is little ole palm, this is HP the #1 computer selling in the world. Hp a bigger brand name world wide, even higher then Apple (HP 10, Apple, 17). HP a 30 billion dollar a Quarter company, as opposed to Google at a mere 7. So wake up haters, webos is a full linux based OS, android isnt therefore androids potential is flawed. Its oversaturated the market with devices that are pretty much the same every 3 months, with fragmented OS’s, and a inferior OS Android will slip hard these next 2 years mark my words.

    Palm is already irrelevant. What do they have left as far as developers, like 12 guys? Too long to get WebOS out the door, then too long to make it usable, then too long between new phones. Stick a fork in Palm and WebOS – it’s done.

      bet u have never used WebOS.
      Unless you have played with it and used it you wont realize it’s value, wait for the event to find out.
      It depends on how well they market it, thats the thing that apple has done, backed a great product with great marketing.
      WebOS is a great product , marketing has sucked…

        I bought the Palm Pre on day 1 of availability. I even ported my number from AT&T to Sprint to do so. WebOS has great potential, but when Palm released it there was so much missing it was hard to use. Smooth and snappy, sure. And I’ve held onto my Pre just to see where they take WebOS with future updates.

        Coming from BlackBerrys, I found the Pre’s keyboard almost unusable. Email handling is nowhere near on par with BlackBerry, but then whose email handling is? I could go on and on about what’s missing from WebOS, but that’s all be discussed on blogs and on forums ad nauseum. I just hope enough of this is addressed in WebOS 2.0, and that the original Pre will be capable of running it.

  • Awesome!!!!

    Has anyone heard whether this one will run Gingerbread??? I think this one looks nicer than the PlayBook and the Samsung tablet device. If it runs Gingerbread, I’m totally buying it. Palm makes great hardware — I had my Treo for years!!!! Go Palm.

      nope. we’re all certain it will run webOS. maybe someone will hack Android into it after…

  • Edhill86
