Isn’t HP’s tablet offering based on their own proprietary webOS
Any thoughts on that versus the alternatives, specifically iPad?
Home Tablet The HP TouchPad Review: webOS on the Big Screen
***************************EXCERPT**********************************
If this were a race of numbers, Apple would have already won. It isn't. The iPad 2, as successful as it is, isn't perfect. There's tons of room for innovation and we're seeing its competitors offer clear examples of that innovation. As with any market, the lower your market share the more likely you are as a company to take risks. After all, you've got nothing to lose. It's in breaking the mold and taking these risks that great ideas are often born.
I love the webOS operating system, it is by far the best out there. However, the tablet offering is woefully short of apps, and the hardware is competitive with the iPad, not as strong as the iPad2. HP has a long way to go to get even people who want to like webOS devices to be able to justify purchasing one over an Apple.
