When HP’s Todd Bradley was asked by analysts how his company’s $1.2 billion purchase of Palm would affect its Windows 7 Slate, he replied “We haven’t made roadmap announcements.” In corporate speak, that means “We have killed it.” Silicon Alley Insider speculates that the HP Slate may be reborn as a WebOS tablet, although Michael Arrington of TechCrunch thinks it “seems very unlikely given the dominance of the closed Apple OS and the likely success of the open Android and Chrome operating systems from Google.” I’d disagree with Arrington.
