First Pictures and Details Of HP Palm's 7 and 9-inch WebOS Tablets Leak!
Engdaget has just picked up some amazing exclusive information regarding HP / Palm. What you see above is a render of what a future HP / Palm webOS-based tablet. The companies are actually working on two models: the 7-inch "Opal" and a larger 9-inch "Topaz" which we've heard of before. Judging from the renders, you can tell that there's a front-facing camera, no buttons (likely because of multitouch gestures), a microUSB port, and three speakers.
The website is hearing that units will start hitting Palm HQ in June of this year and production for launch won't start until later this year. Apparently, the WiFi-only, AT&T 3G, and Verizon LTE models of the 7-inch "Opal" will be available in September 2011, while the AT&T LTE model won't be available until July 2012 which is so far away from now. Fortunately, they're hearing that the 9-inch "Topaz" may actually be available sooner than the Opal so maybe we'll be seeing a Summer 2011 launch for it. Inside you should find a 1.2GHz CPU in both of them. I just can't wait until February 9th.
Update: Coming from DigiTimes via Engadget, is word that Inventec is planning to ship an HP Palm tablet to the market in March of this year. Of course, this would mean that the "Topaz" is almost ready so let's just wait for them to announce it on February 9th. Could the first webOS-based tablet be in our hands in about 6 weeks? Man, I hope this is true.
Update: Another post coming from Engadget has just mentioned even more bits of information! Apparently, both of these tablets that HP / Palm will be bringing to the market will have access to 10GB of cloud storage, Beats audio, Tap-to-Share smartphone integration, Flash support, and it'll be capable of charging wirelessly with a Touchstone dock. Palm is also said to be working on a few more handsets, but they're reportedly "nothing too amazing" right now so let's hope that changes in the near future with a new flagship webOS smartphone.

Another Digitimes article has mentioned that tablets from Asus, Acer, Dell, Samsung, and Toshiba are also on the way very soon. Sources are saying it'll be before the end of the year, but I highly doubt that. I guarantee that we'll be seeing them all at CES 2011 in early January 2011 though. These tablets are said to be running on Intel's upcoming Oak Trail platform which are new Z670 Atom CPUs.
Apparently though, Asus is working on a 12-inch tablet that will running on a Core i5 CPU, which would be a beast. I'm going to assume that it'll be running Windows 7 and pricing is said to be $1,000 to $1,300 so it won't be something cheap which is definitely expected. However, I do have a feeling that they may sell out of these because I can't see Asus making a ton of these tablets - kind of like Toshiba and their dual-screen Libretto notebook.
Look out for them all soon, it'll be a great CES. Don't miss it.
