A little less than a year after they acquired Palm for $1.2 billion, Hewlett Packard is making it very, very clear that they’re about to unveil a webOS tablet, and that they’ll do so on February 9th in San Francisco.
During an appearance on CNBC recently, HP Personal Systems Group Executive VP Todd Bradley explained that HP is “totally focused on the tablet market, totally focused on enabling that with webOS.”
Bradley then went on to say that HP intends to use its buyout of Palm to go head-to-head with the likes of the iPad, saying that his company sees “an enormous opportunity, both for ourselves and for our customers, to get the best web experience, the best content experience that they can.”
Other than that, Bradley didn’t say much about what an HP tablet might look like, although he did say that they are “phenomenal for content consumptions, PCs… for content creation.”
As for the February 9th webOS event, the event’s tagline is “Think big. Think small. Think beyond…” all of which strongly implies that HP doesn’t have just one webOS device to unveil, but several, from smartphones to tablets and beyond.
