Given that Nokia is bound to release a MeeGo tablet at some point, I'm not too excited. But it is nice to see WebOS stay alive.

Edit: and Win7 tablets aren't a total disaster. I can't wait to play some games* on them, but I'll probably see if MeeGo and Wine can do it first.

Will be interesting to see what plans HP has for WebOS. For tablets? Should be. Would they license it to another makers?

the character of HP have changed since their last change of CEO.

the previous was a dreamer, the current appears to be more of a organizer.

Yeah... I wonder who's the hotshot they gonna put to head this whole enterprise. Seems like a pretty huge undertaking to keep Palm afloat while integrating\cross developing with existing hp's mobile portfolio.

Btw, are you guys OK with getting slates 6" to 10" size with full-screen-only (non windowed) interface (like all 'smartphones')?
...or do you expect a 'divisible' screen management interface in those sizes?

I would prefer divisible (or some way to overlay one window on the other) myself mainly because if I get a tablet it would replace the role of a laptop for me. Though I'm thinking of getting an Android one if they put one out with the specs I'm interested in (or Meego).

I would like screen management on my N900, please... IRC + browsing, Simpsons + IRC, you get my point.

At this resolution and size, split screen would be no worse than running any of those tasks individually on my E71.

If you want windowed interface in those sizes, that means a stylus-only interface.. otherwise there'll be significant screen estate (loss) devoted to window management (Borders, controls, etc).

IMHO slates in that size range cannot and should not be a direct replacement for note/netbooks... Yes, the larger screen size will automatically make us want to cram desktop-like multiwindows to view multiple apps... but when used in slate-mode, you will either interact with them with 2 thumbs or 1 hand (with the other cradling it).

Perhaps if it use a screen/antiWM like window manager in slate mode and switches to conventional windowing interface when 'docked' to keyboard/mouse

Excuse the musing... getting back to topic now....
