First HP webOS tablet said to be planned for Q1 2011

According to a recent report, Todd Bradley, the Executive Vice President of HP's Personal Systems Group, has revealed to HP employees that the company is working on bringing its first webOS-based tablet (codename Hurricane) to market in the first quarter of 2011.

Before trying its luck with weOS, HP is going to play it a little safer and release tablets powered by Windows 7 (Slate 500) and Android 2.1 (?) (eStation Zeen), the former being targeted towards business users, while the latter will go after regular consumers. Both are expected to debut later this year so we're looking like some very busy couple of quarters for HP in terms of tablet moves. And we're liking the situation.
