The TouchPad might be (almost) completely dead, but that doesn't mean we've seen the last of it.
It's been a few weeks since HP revealed plans to kill off the TouchPad and Pre lines of tablets and phones. In fact, HP was putting an end to all webOS hardware. Sadly, this means upcoming projectsunder the TouchPad or Pre umbrellas will never be seen. Or will they?
The following images recently appeared on a Chinese forum (page no longer available) and apparently show the unreleased TouchPad Go. You might remember the 7-inch Go better if we used its codename, Opal, which is what it was referred to when it was first talked about in the beginning of the year. Originally tipped for a September launch, we imagine the poor TouchPad Go was all but ready to be shipped when HP pulled the plug on the entire line.
According to This Is My Next, the poster of these photos claims to have had the device for the last three month. The device boasts the same 1.5GHz APQ8060 Snapdragon CPU, 16GB of storage, front camera and 1024 x 768 resolution as its larger brother, but the 7-inch model also boasts a rear camera as well as possible NFC support. The poster doesn't elaborate on where he got the tablet, and the thread is no longer available, so we may never know.
