HP Hurricane WebOS tablet rumored for Q3
Brandon Davenport
It has been about a week since the whole “HP buys Palm” ordeal - and even though that was exciting enough, HP and Palm have put together a little think tank and come up with the very predictable idea of bringing a WebOS based tablet to the public by Q3 this year.
HP confessed it would be “doubling down on WebOS” and that it has big plans to “scale across multiple connected devices” and according to a report over at the Examiner, a tipster who is an “insider at HP” has told the site that “a webOS tablet under the code name HP Hurricane could be released the third quarter of this year.”
The whole Palm/HP collaberation is starting to make sense now, for a number of reasons: HP putting the Slate out of existence, and pegging to take WebOS places it has never been. The HP Slate may be dead, but I feel there is going to be a resurrection under the new name Hurricane, but this is all still rumors floating in the delicate balance of pure possibility. We would be shocked to see HP turn down a WebOS tablet, but we would be even more shocked if you don’t think this is going to be completely awesome!
