    Well, yeah, it looks kinda like an iPad - but it feels much, much heavier and thicker. And I don't see the merits of WebOS over iOS or Android - or even QNX. Overall, if you're confident that HP won't dump WebOS, you can make the gamble. I'm not and I wouldn't, but there again, there are worse ways to spend your money. The new Vizio tablet comes to mind....
