HP: opportunities for webOS ‘smartphones, slates, and potentially netbooks’

Posted in: HP, netbook, netbooks, palm, slate, tablet, tablets, Today's Chili, webos

Color us excited. HP’s Todd Bradley just made an interesting proposition on the conference call about its Palm acquisition. Specifically, Bradley said, “Between smartphones, slates, and potentially netbooks, there are a lot of opportunities here.” You read that right: slates and potentially netbooks. The tablet route is pretty obvious, but having the netbook / smartbook form factor is quite a twist. Think about it, a Foleo descendant you can be proud of — whodathunkit? If you’re worried HP has forgotten about other platforms, we need only point in the direction of the Android-fueled Airlife. Obviously nothing to announce at this point, but doesn’t that just get us hopeful — roadmap announcements are said to be forthcoming closer to the merger being finalized. The call is still ongoing, so stay tuned!
