While HP-Palm missed CES 2011 and we saw nothing about the WebOS coming out there, it was clear that its coming up at MWC. However it wasn’t to be at MWC, but a HP event on 9th Feb that is expected to unveil some ‘exciting’ WebOS stuff. Now all the industry pointers are towards a tablet and if that wasn’t enough, a netbook is being thrown on the roadmap aswell. It seems that HP’s training site teases a phone, slate and a netbook running webOS. While I don’t mind that (not very excited either), aren’t we yet to see any of them that shakes the competition?
I have had my apprehensions with HP’s webOS plans before and I hope common sense prevails. The magnificent tech acquired from Palm might well go down the drain with over ambitious plans at HP. Remember, HP-Palm is yet to deliver a decent enough smartphone yet, and we genuinely hope that their own words (Today, let’s start with the phones. Tomorrow will come soon enough) actually delivers!
