HP working on more prototypes running on WebOS?

HP working on more prototypes running on WebOS?

While Google works hard to have their Chrome OS overthrow Microsoft’s Windows domination, HP is also working hard to ditch Windows from their products. It started with their Palm products and tablets running on WebOS, and now HP is trying hard to have this half-baked operating system stuffed into more products or their own.

A webOS dev spotted a pair unnamed devices in his log files — one sporting a 1024 x 768 screen and a non-sliding keyboard, and the other a smartphone with no physical QWERTY input. Of course, this is nothing big of a surprise, as HP has already openly announce that they’re striving hard to bring desktops and laptops into their WebOS realms, and already have a few netbooks prototyping the system.

So HP is now playing around with a device that’s bigger than a smartphone, and with physical keyboards, and the product is running a version of the WebOS called Nova Dartfish. The second product would be a mid-end or low-end smartphone with a resolution of merely 480 x 320 and is running WebOS 3.0. The logs also reveal that neither is packing a removable battery, which isn’t good news actually.
