HP to slap Palm's webOS on printers, tablets and netbooks

HP will bring Palm's webOS, seen on the Pre smart phone, to tablet PCs, netbooks and Web-connected printers, as well as phones. Palm was recently acquired by HP for $1.2bn. For the full story, head to CNET News: HP: WebOS headed to Internet-connected printers.

In making the announcement, HP chief executive Mark Hurd engaged in a barnstorming bout of buzzword bingo. He said HP had acquired Palm "in order to enhance our intellectual property... in the connected-mobility space. We expect to leverage webOS into a variety of form factors, including slates and Web-connected printers". Well done, that man.
