HP’s CEO Leo Apotheker has just confirmed over at the HP Summit that the TouchPad would ship in June. The slate will be available in the US first, with international release to follow shortly after. The 9.7-inch tablet running WebOS 3.0 will be on sale starting at $499 upwards. Of course, this is the price for the 16GB WiFi-only version. 3G variants are currently still unconfirmed, though we’ve seen TouchPad with 3G SIM slot before.
