HP TouchPad available on July 1

If you've been waiting for an HP TouchPad running HP webOS, your wait is almost over. The WiFi version of the TouchPad will ship on July 1 and the 3G version will be available on AT&T later this summer.

The TouchPad is the first slate tablet to run webOS.

"What makes HP TouchPad a compelling alternative to competing products is webOS," said Jon Rubinstein, senior vice president and general manager, Palm Global Business Unit, HP. "The platform's unmatched features and flexibility will continue to differentiate HP products from the rest of the market for both personal and professional use. This is only the beginning of what HP's scale can do with webOS."
