HP’s Jon Rubinstein — formerly of Palm CEO fame, of course — just mentioned in an interview with Fortune that webOS 2.0 is on track for “later this year.” Considering that 2010 is more than half over, that doesn’t leave a whole heck of a lot of time — but with a mix of presumed kick-ass HP hardware in the pipeline running webOS, we imagine this should all dovetail nicely. On a related note, Rubinstein again drove home the point that they’re developing new hardware “aggressively,” so let’s hope we finally see a Pre 2, a Palmpad , or heck, a frickin’ LifeDrive 2 in the next few months. webOS 2.0 coming ‘later this year,’ says HP’s Rubinstein originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 22 Jul 2010 17:40:00 EDT

This new series of ads from Microsoft drives home the point that the improvement this OS represents over Vista is the product of the comments, concerns, and complaints of users all over the world — which is fine, as far as that goes, but either they never received our countless emails or someone thinks it’s bad form to ship computers with Dukes of Hazzard wallpaper as the default. Advertising after the break.
