HP has confirmed that it will release a webOS slate (for consumers) and a Windows 7 slate (for corporates). You have to look at webOS and think that it will do very well on a slate, very well indeed. No mention of Android though…
From ITPRO- “The statement reads: “HP plans to use webOS from its recent Palm acquisition, as well as Windows 7 from Microsoft, for this category. WebOS products will span across smartphones, slates, netbooks and printers. Deployment of the Windows 7 slate will target the specific needs of select enterprise markets.”
The statement confirms that webOS will be a major platform for HPs hopes to reinvigorate its mobile devices. Its move from iPaq PDAs to iPaq phones faltered when the Microsoft Mobile operating system was surpassed by Apple’s iPhone.”
