The HP TouchPad
The new Hewlett-Packard "TouchPad" is due to be released this summer in the USA. It plans to take up some market space in the portable device market which is mostly dominated by Apple with it's iPad.
HP TouchPad 9.7-inch tablet running off Palm's well-regarded webOS operating system is HP's gamble that there remains room for yet another mobile software platform -- a risk underscored by news that Nokia may abandon its own software in favor of Microsoft's or Google's.
Pricing and other details of HP's 1.5-pound tablet, which runs off Qualcomm chips and supports video calling, will be announced later. But will it play Flash??
The world's largest technology company by revenue also announced new smartphones on Wednesday, the Veer and the Pre3, based on the webOS software that HP acquired last summer in its $1.2 billion purchase of hand held device pioneer Palm.
And what about the Apps? Apple has about 300,000 apps for use on it's iPad and Android has over 100,000 for use on any of it's mobile device platforms. Will there be enough room for another player?
