HP tablets are dead! No they aren’t! Yes they are! Either way, Fox claims they’re at least on some sort of life support, and being tested with Windows 8.
Fox’s Anonymous Source™ says HP’s playing with Windows 8 on TouchPad as a “proof of concept”—which means even if A) This is true and B) It runs well on the TouchPad, it might still never become a reality. After all, at some point soon there might not even be a computer company named HP anymore.
But here’s a question—do you want this to be true? Part of the TouchPad’s renaissance owed something to WebOS’ cult following. Of course, the $100 liquidation sale in the States sure helped. [Fox News]

But… hold on a second, I thought one of the best things about the TouchPad was its Web OS? My memory isn’t perfect and I can’t be bothered to check, but didn’t Giz (US) say something along the lines of Web OS being great with a few flaws?
Why replace the OS if thats the best thing going for it?
Yup, the review was pretty positive about webOS, as you can see here http://us.gizmodo.com/5816916/hp-touchpad-review-unbreak-my-heart?tag=touchpad
However great Windows 8 may be, it’s a real shame HP never gave the TouchPad and webOS a proper chance.
