Speaking at the HP Summit, HP CEO Leo Apotheker just said the TouchPad will ship in June, and gave a few other nuggets of information. HP wants PCs to be able to run webOS so they will be shipping it on all HP Laptops at some point. Hopefully, by the end of the year.
"The TouchPad will come out in June and from that date onwards there will be wave after wave of technology coming out to support the webOS platform. There will be a beta version for webOS running on a browser on PCs available at the end of the year and you'll see us putting webOS on that technolgoy on PCs, on Windows PCs I should add, starting from that point onwards and we hope to read 100 million devices a year. We'll put the same technology on our printers, we'll put them on PCs, we'll put them on TouchPads, we'll put them on smartphones, so you'll see this become a very massive, very broad platform."
Anyone see a benefit to running webOS on your PC? Let us know in the comments.
