"HP webOS goes big. Our breakthrough interface features a spacious workspace and activity cards that provide an easy way to visualize and organize what you're working on. Easily move back and forth between cards.1 And group related cards in stacks-or have them stacked automatically."
Just announced by HP, with planned availability for summer of 2010. Specs include: HP WebOS; 9.7-inch 1024x768 capacitive multi-touch screen; Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-CPU APQ8060 1.2GHz; Microsoft Exchange support with Direct Push Technology; GPS in 3G models; Front-facing 1.3 megapixel camera; 802.11 b/g/n with WPA; Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR; 16/32GB; 6300 mAh battery; 3.5mm stereo headset/headphone/microphone jack; dimensions 240mm x 190mm x 13.7mm (9.45 x 7.48 x .54 inches) and a weight of 740g (1.6 pounds). Details on 3G were not available, and pricing was not listed. Pretty impressive, but pretty late to the party.
( UPDATE: After a little digging around, it appears that the initial version will be wi-fi only, with 3G/4G to follow. )
