"You'll see us with a Microsoft product [running Windows 7] in the near future, and a webOS-based product in early 2011," said Todd Bradley, head of HP's personal systems group, during the company’s quarterly earnings call.
HP said that tablet computers based on Microsoft’s Windows 7 operating system would be aimed at enterprise users, while webOS-based devices would be better suited to consumers.
Palm won critical acclaim for its webOS platform, which powered its flagship Pre handset. The operating system pulled together contacts and information from disparate social networks, and offered an excellent browsing experience.
HP hopes that by offering a variety of tablet computers to suit different needs, it will be in a good position to challenge the dominance of Apple’s iPad.
The computer company has also said that it will use webOS to power a range of smartphones, netbooks, and internet-enabled printers.
