Posted on Monday, May 24 2010 @ 21:55 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

DigiTimes reports HP confirmed it will adopt the WebOS platform in upcoming smartphones and tablets. The site also heard the HP Slate will hit the market before the end of the company's fiscal year, which ends in October.

HP will adopt the WebOS platform in smartphones and tablets, according to Monty Wong, vice president of personal computing systems group at HP Taiwan, adding that since netbooks are more similar in functions with traditional computers, the company will not offer such WebOS-based devices.

HP will announce more details after the completion of the Palm acquisition at the end of July, Wong said.
