The top 5 HP products we would like to see, post-Palm buyout
Yup, a webOS tablet
Of course a webOS tablet makes sense. The OS is already optimized for web content and can run on nearly any hardware right now. All HP engineers would need to do is, well, install it. WebOS could lead to some legitimate iPad contenders with Flash support natively built into the slick OS that already has an established developer’s channel.
I'm a pretty big fan of Palm. Had a Pilot III, Treo Smartphone, etc. Great stuff. No love lost with HP though, a few crappy computers. That said, happy to see someone see a future in Palm. Even if I didn't have a soft spot for Palm, I'd still like to see a bit more competition in the smartphone market. Apple is just seeing some challenges from Google/Nexus One/Droid/HTC Hero, but it's always good to mix it up a bit.
