Tablets seem to be all the rage these days, with Apple's iPad, Motorola's rumored Android-based tablet, and RIM's BlackPad.  Now HP looks to be joining the tablet game, too, with a webOS-based piece of hardware.  HP has told its employees that the device will be launched in Q1 of 2011, several "trusted sources" have told Engadget.  The info comes from Todd Bradley, HP's Personal Systems Group VP, who spread the good news yesterday at a meeting with all other employees.  Finally, the internal codename for the device is "Hurricane," which is something we've heard several times in the past.

I don't know about you, but I'm definitely excited to see webOS hit a tablet device.  Heck, at this point I'm excited to see webOS on any sort of new hardware.  Now that we've got a tablet on the way, hopefully we'll start to see information trickle out about that new webOS hardware, as well as version 2.0 of the OS itself.  Care to share some info, Palm?
