HP seen with Intel, Qualcomm-powered Windows 8 tabs by Q4

HP CEO Meg Whitman is said to be preparing to launch three new tablet devices by years end that use Microsofts Windows 8 operating system and are powered by processors from Intel and Qualcomm.

Hewlett-Packard Co?

CNET quoted unnamed sources in a report over the weekend who said there are two designs being readied ??? one using the next-generation Atom processor from Intel Corp.?

CEO Meg Whitman spoke of HP's (NASDAQ:HPQ) plans to use Windows 8 on tablet devices last week.

CNET said there will be two types coming that use Intel processors ??? a laptop-tablet hybrid and a more traditional tablet that will be aimed at business users.

It didn't have any details on the third version that would run on the Qualcomm processor.

HP's tablet efforts haven't been all that successful to date, with its Slate tablets proving little competition to Apple Inc.?

Its one real success in tablets has been the HP TouchPad, but only after it reduced it to clearance prices after killing the project that was developed by what used to be Palm Inc.?
