HP Hurricane WebOS Tablet Later this Year?

Hewlett Packard (HP) is reportedly prepping a WebOS-powered tablet that could be released as early as the third quarter of 2010.

"We first speculated that since HP bought out Palm, they would come out with a webOS tablet," wrote Daryl Deino of the Examiner.

"An insider at HP [now] tells us that a webOS tablet under the code name HP Hurricane could be released the third quarter of this year."

Deino also claimed that HP appears to have ended development of its overly-touted Slate tablet.

"It is a really interesting device, but runs as slow as a turtle," industry analyst Paul Mueller told the Examiner.

"I think they could have had something with a faster processor, but that would have led to less battery life than the Slate already had."
