    Not necessarily

    The first more looks like a WebOs shell on top of a notebook, not a "WebOS notebook". Note that the -1 in the version numbers. It is a give-away that it is not a standard OS train.

    Not at all. But I do love the image of water flying under a bridge.

    huh? WebOS tablet is well known

    surely this is just a log from a WebOS tablet visiting his site rather than a netbook? the WebOS tablet is well known - though not released until summer this year - some lucker testers have them though

    WTF?

    The title is required, and must contain letters and/or digits.

    Could this not equally be refering to a fondle slab?

    tablet w/ keyboard?

    Could it be for a tablet with a bluetooth keyboard, or a "transformer" type tablet?

      EXACTLY fishman...

      "keyboard available: true" isn't the same as "non-removable keyboard installed at the factory: true"

      And tablets have the same res as netbooks (or better in some cases) so screen res is no indication either.

      Storm, Mountain, meet Teacup and Molehill, and jump right over here to the Conclusion.

    I knew this yesterday - HP has it posted on the front page of their site, for the love of all things holy!
