HP Hurricane = HP Slate + webOS ?

WebOS runs in WebKit on Linux: I would imagine it's one of the easiest OSes to bring across. Putting together an ARM+GPU combo tablet isn't difficult for HP.

In the mean time, it's easy to hire new developers (needs experience in web technologies) and developers to expand the Palm outfit to handle developing the bigger platform and tablet-specific stuff.]]>May 8th 2010 7:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/08/webos-based-hp-hurricane-tablet-rumored-for-q3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/08/webos-based-hp-hurricane-tablet-rumored-for-q3/May 8th 2010 7:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/08/webos-based-hp-hurricane-tablet-rumored-for-q3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/08/webos-based-hp-hurricane-tablet-rumored-for-q3/What do you mean?

Except a big iPhone doesn't make as much sense as a big Palm Pre. The Pre already has excellent multitasking and (will soon have) Flash support, so those two complaints will be out of the way. WebOS more of a desktop-style mobile OS, so it might be perfect for a tablet. But Palms going to need to get a few more developers out there.]]>May 8th 2010 9:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/08/webos-based-hp-hurricane-tablet-rumored-for-q3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/08/webos-based-hp-hurricane-tablet-rumored-for-q3/

"I wonder if everyone will complain that this is Just a giant Pamt pre like they did with that other tablet."

Of all the mobile OS's webOS is probably the best designed for a large screen device.

I don't really have any need for an iPad or a giant Palm Pre, but I do think that webOS card view benefits much more from a larger screen than the iPhone OS springboard does. webOS actually multitasks and can do so with multiple applications viewable at the same time. Even with iPhone 4.0 multitasking you can't view multiple applications at once so a larger screen does not benefit the iPhone OS or it's existing applications in any meaningful way. The problem with webOS on a cellphone screen is that even if you have 10 apps open at once you can only view 1 and 2 halves at a time in normal card mode or 3 1/2 apps in zoomed out mode. On a large screen you would be able to view several apps at once turning them into very useful and powerful widgets (weather, alarm clock, Pandora, twitter, RSS feed, engadget, etc.) .

I think both devices are largely a waste of money and inferior to any computer running a real OS. Ultimately though I can see how webOS is better suited for a large screen device than iPhone OS is. ]]>May 8th 2010 11:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/08/webos-based-hp-hurricane-tablet-rumored-for-q3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/08/webos-based-hp-hurricane-tablet-rumored-for-q3/Looks like it's a good tablet but is still a giant Palm Pre.]]>May 8th 2010 11:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/08/webos-based-hp-hurricane-tablet-rumored-for-q3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/08/webos-based-hp-hurricane-tablet-rumored-for-q3/"HateOS?"

I didn't mean anything negivate by it, I really really love the idea of webos on a tablet, if implemented right, It could be a seriously awesome experience.]]>May 9th 2010 7:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/08/webos-based-hp-hurricane-tablet-rumored-for-q3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/08/webos-based-hp-hurricane-tablet-rumored-for-q3/
That may be true for you, but 99.99% of the world view one app at a time keeping others minimized even on a large screen notebook. By large screen I mean 15 inches and up. Furthermore, there is actually a scientific reason for that. People are good at doing one thing at a time...

Cards seem like a total overkill for a dashboard widget. It would eat battery like no ones business!

Finally, it's about the content. WebOS is behind the 8 ball when it comes to apps, books and AV content. To the avg buyer the lack to integrated content will be a huge limiting factor.

What WebOS does give HP v Win 7 is a superb touch screen interface, and fast performance on a mobile device. Also gives them a differentiated product v. Android. HP would have lost the Android price to the bottom race that is about to start....

All I want is itunes syncing.

@cool8man "I do think that webOS card view benefits much more from a larger screen than the iPhone OS springboard does."

Uh huh, so how many cards will you see in portrait view? They gonna shrink them down to the size they are on the Pre? Even if they do, they are 200 pixels across so you'd fit 768/200 = 3 full previews + 2 off-screen views, it's 5 tops. iPad gives you 4 icons so it's not really any different.

Already people are out with the 'this single feature will be soooo much better what Apple have done' bollocks. How about let's wait and see what they do first.

The slate is going to need a major overhaul for a start in the hardware - thinner with ARM and possibly a better screen. The iPad is IPS not TN y'know.

I reckon at best they will have an OS with 100x fewer apps, no sync software, hardware that only matches their rivals, likely a cheap screen and crummy plastic hardware. All HP had to do was make a touch screen netbook in a smaller form factor. How hard could it be? Mini 311, remove keyboard, insert touch screen but they blew it.

Now it's just a big Pre that won't make calls and will suck even more than the iPad does now.]]>May 9th 2010 8:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/08/webos-based-hp-hurricane-tablet-rumored-for-q3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/08/webos-based-hp-hurricane-tablet-rumored-for-q3/You'll always be dude.]]>May 9th 2010 12:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/08/webos-based-hp-hurricane-tablet-rumored-for-q3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/08/webos-based-hp-hurricane-tablet-rumored-for-q3/May 9th 2010 12:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/08/webos-based-hp-hurricane-tablet-rumored-for-q3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/08/webos-based-hp-hurricane-tablet-rumored-for-q3/I agree that multitasking does require bigger battery but that is exactly what having a 10 inch device gives you. An iPad has two huge batteries compared to the actual circuit board which is the same size as an iPhone. A webos tablet will be able to do the same. palm PRE plus already has twice the memory of iPhone so it is better suited for multitasking. HP can definitely increase memory even further but that is currently not required.

If the first generation WebOS device is built using TI's 3640 platform the time to market will be reduced drastically as it is the same processor running at 1 GHz. ]]>May 9th 2010 1:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/08/webos-based-hp-hurricane-tablet-rumored-for-q3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/08/webos-based-hp-hurricane-tablet-rumored-for-q3/

very well thought out & I agree that webos may work great in finding a sweetspot for a lite os & offer a bit more of an appealing ui for a tablet, as it sort of has more of a desktop layout, but is built from scratch for touch & gesture ( & maybe stylus ) as opposed to porting over windows 7 for example & having to skin it & retool it as a touch friendly UI. So, yes it doesn't quite have some of the conveniences a full desktop/laptop os would for some software / features from the get go, but I think it would still be slick & really fuctional with a lot of potential to grow because it's roots were built for uses like on a tablet & hopefully wouldn't run into the one knock being talk about with android for example of mutiple builds & delays on updates bc they have to update the touch flo interface and all. It's not a huge problem, but all us geeks are impatient & of course want the latest build yesterday & every new feature right away!!]]>May 9th 2010 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/08/webos-based-hp-hurricane-tablet-rumored-for-q3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/08/webos-based-hp-hurricane-tablet-rumored-for-q3/
