HP CEO says new webOS products soon, another announcement coming in March

mobile

Hewlett-Packard CEO Leo Apotheker spoke with the BBC during the World Economic Forum in Davos, shedding new light on the company’s plans for webOS over the next two months. Moving forward, the HP boss claims the gap between product announcements and launches will shrink substantially. In fact, we should expect webOS devices to launch “within weeks” of next month’s event on February 9th. Of note, Apotheker says that upcoming devices will be HP-branded so we might soon have to say goodbye to the Palm name when it comes to webOS devices. Looking beyond February, HP will have another major announcement coming on March 14th, when the company will detail its “vision of what HP is capable of in the future.” We have to say, we’re now more excited than ever to see what might come when Palm’s silky smooth webOS platform is finally slipped into the top-notch hardware it deserves.

    First Acer and now HP. Companies are starting to understand that Apple’s model is the one to follow.

    Of course, Acer doesn’t have there own OS. Then again, HP doesn’t have their own media store, or do they???

    Though I’m positive webOS is a winner I think killing of the Palm name is a huggggggeeeee mistake. Palm has at least two decades under their belt of innovating and building their name is a contender. They should keep the name.

    people want better hardware, but its webos itself that truely deserves better hardware, so we can actually see what its capable of… couldnt even imagine it running on a 1.2 dual core setup

    Tired of hearing that webOS products are coming “soon”. Also tired of hearing that a company wants to be more “like Apple”. Much easier said than done. Especially with a company as uncreative as HP….
