Yawn.

Nice looking slab of hardware with enviable specs but with an OS built on a dying software platform. Yeh, so webOS is designed to work with a tablet. Um, okay.

HP doesn't have a very good track record in the consumer market over the past few years: they pre-load their laptops with a ton of HP software that tends to break with Microsoft update, it's well-documented that their products often times don't play well with each other, and their tech support must be based on Dilbert. They churn out computers and printers by the millions, heavily discounted at Sam's Club and Costco and often used as loss leaders at Best Buy and other retailers -- but this doesn't make these good products. I can't imagine this product is going to fare any better; they are cashing in on the tablet craze.

And where are the apps? Are they gonna have a few flashy new apps to display, and then tell us we can access the enormous Palm library? Oh, golly, I can hardly wait!
