HP has always maintained that it bought Palm for its intellectual property and not because it wanted to be in the smartphone business. Talking of IP, WebOS is arguably Palm's most valuable asset. The PC maker sees WebOS being used extensively across its portfolio of small form factor devices. A tablet running WebOS is also in the pipeline.
HP expects to begin shipping its first WebOS-based device early next year. "You'll see us with a Microsoft product out in the near future, and a webOS-based product in early 2011," Todd Bradley, the head of HP's Personal Systems Group, announced during HP's quarterly earnings call Thursday.
The company has already stated that there will be no conflict between its Windows and WebOS tablets as the former will be confined to the enterprise market. On the other hand, the WebOS-based tablet will vie with tablets like the iPad for a piece of the consumer tablet market.

I don't know about a tablet with Palm WebOS. It just doesn't give off the good vibes that Windows Compact 7 and Windows 7 and Android OS give. Perhaps as an OS for internet appliances, but not a tablet. I think WEBOS should stay on the Smart Phones and PDA's and not on tablets that fill bring extreme portability and usability with entertainment and productivity built into the device.
