HP’s Jon Rubinstein — before of Palm CEO fame, of course — only referred to in an talk with Fortune that webOS 2.0 is upon lane for “after this year.” Considering that 2010 is more than half over, which doesn’t leave the whole heck of the lot of time — though with the mix of presumed kick-ass HP hardware in a tube using webOS, you imagine this should all dovetail nicely. On the related note, Rubinstein again drove home the point which they’re developing brand-new hardware “aggressively,” so let’s hope you finally see the Pre 2, a Palmpad, or heck, the frickin’ LifeDrive 2 in the subsequent few months.
