HP TouchPad WebOS 3.0 Sneak Peek (Emulator)
Posted by Michael Knutson in "Other Slates & Tablets" @ 10:00 PM
"Images from a WebOS 3.0 emulator just leaked, and we've got all the screenshots demonstrating the best and most essential new features."
A pretty decent collection of pics of the HP TouchPad WebOS, albeit from an emulator. As the author opines, to be successful, the TouchPad will need to "borrow and integrate" features from the most successful tablets. One of the cool features is that the on-screen keyboard can be resized (smaller) to show more content in the Memos app. Funny how the native Mail app looks very similar to the iPad's Mail app. And, the Clock app resembles the clock from HTC's Sense UI. There was also a link to a video walk-through of WebOS 3.0, but it was removed by YouTube. Oops! Overall a quite pleasing UI, but I do wonder if it's too little, too late, from HP. Can the market support another tablet and OS? Will this tablet go the way of other Palm/HP products like the Pre and Pixi?
