Apple iPad has a solid lead in the tablet space. But Steve Jobs had better watch out: the competition is coming.
This year at the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, pundits predict that manufacturers will unveil a host of tablet-style devices to compete with Apple's funky iPad. But the product that could prove to be the strongest competitor isn't from Blackberry-maker RIM, nor a gizmo from the Windows and Intel crowd.
HP will introduce three models of the PalmPad at CES, with minor hardware differences distinguishing them. All three will run a new iteration of the WebOS operating system, version 2.5.1; they're collectively a spin-off of the never-released HP Slate.
A fourth version won't be shown off at CES, I'm told, but it will be custom made for university students to prove how versatile the machines can be.
