In the words of Borat: "VERY NIIIICE HOW MUCH??!!"

Srs, did they say how much itll retail for?

You've obviously never used a WebOS phone, then.

Actually, you are correct...I've used/tried others, though, and they've made me quite fond of my apple devices.
Is the touch as good (or better?) than Apple's?

I give HP a lot of credit for the work that they have done with WebOS, but they really needed to be able to say that they are shipping within 3 months and starts at $499.

I hope this works out well for HP.

Ahh the Apple fanboys are out in force

Ahh, the bitter little dweebs are out in force.

No eco system.... dead end.

No ecosystem in the traditional sense. Instead, they have a different kind. Some of the continuous client stuff they showed is very cool, and will only get better as the features and hardware matures. This isn't a dead end; people like ecosystems, but they aren't everything.

You've obviously never used a Palm Pixi then.

So, they announced a tablet to be released some time this summer for a price yet to be determined? OooooKay

Maybe I'm mistaken...but isn't that what Apple did? But they made a waaaay bigger deal out of it.

Just look at it as a great opportunity to update your Ignore list.

Not a peep on price or battery life, which I take to mean > $499 and < 10hrs.

I'll have to agree with everyone saying they should take a hint from Apple at making the device purchasable immediately after announcing it. The specs are shockingly similar to the iPad, the screen size, resolution are identical. The iPad2 is pretty much confirmed to have the cameras so essentially this will be a plastic iPad2 that comes out LATER than the iPad 2 will.

 

[GooMan]

I would like to play around with WebOS, it seems like a pretty good OS.

Might be a success if they sell it for dumping prices ... otherwise I don't see this to compete against the iPad2 - hell by the time this one comes out we will already read iOS6 and iPad3 rumors .....

Bitter? How so?

really??? wow... /sigh

 

[Fly Rodder]

Anybody saying that this, down to the presentation, isn't a complete knock-off of Apple and the iPad are deluding themselves.

Wow.

Good luck, HP!

It's the ugly twin-brother.

I am happy it's not another Android device. Freakin new device each week from all companies.

You can make Sexy Time with it...yes?

 

[_Refurbished_]

Don't be so serious. I enjoy reading gadget news. This sure is macrumors but it doen's mean it can't post news about other devices

Front page?

 

[LagunaSol]

Another ipad killer.

I'll take that bet. What are you wagering?

 

[saving107]

Well, obviously the design is not original (though I am a big fan of the WebOS)

 

[antic]

Isn't this site supposed to offer Apple rumors and news? May as well start displaying PC product releases, as they are competition to the iMac.

I totally agree. There is nothing like giving the competition some free advertising.

By the way. What an iPad kirf

 

[balamw]

Dropping the Palm name seems like a catastrophic decision. "HP Pre?" Really?

HPre?

B
