IMHO.
Apple had the ipad under development for years and what came out was an awesome product. HP on the other hand is under pressure from to compete with Apple and ride the tablet gravy train.
But will HP make a tablet that can create as well as consume content like a laptop? Will it print? Will it cannibalize the sells of their windows laptops? Will it play nice with windows?
I don't believe that HP has the managerial muscle to make an encompassing media ecosystem like Apple.
As good as competition can be, I see HP fumbling the ball on this one.
Lets see.

And since the iPhone name was invented by Apple (not) then their naming scheme is much better.

BTW, the iPad name was first used in the media by the Mad TV crew.

May I direct your attention to the following post:

http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/hp-ceo-we-didnt-buy-palm-to-be-in-the-smartphone-business/

I can't help but think that he inadvertently "let the cat out of the bag" that HPalm really ISN'T making any more smartphones, and all the back-peddling HP's been doing since this came out is just window dressing to hide that truth. I love my Pre Plus, but I'm afraid it may be my last WebOS phone.

I hope I'm wrong.]]>Jul 19th 2010 2:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/hp-files-for-palmpad-trademark-a-webos-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/hp-files-for-palmpad-trademark-a-webos-tablet/
