WorldWideTech & Science. Francisco De Jesús.
BMO Capital Markets analyst Keith Bachman says the device will debut in March.
The information comes, as it often does in the technology industry, from East Asia. A group of BMO analysts including Bachman recently met with more than 30 tech-related companies in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, China and Hong Kong. The analysts summarized their findings in a Dec. 13 call with investors.
Bachman, who covers enterprise hardware, said on the call that HP’s long-awaited tablet will bow in March 2011. He is the second analyst to point to this date. In late November, Stifel Nicolaus analyst Doug Reid also pointed to March as a likely launch time for a webOS tablet.
BMO currently estimates that around 40 million tablets will sell worldwide in 2011. That figure is lower than some other analysts’ estimates, which range as high as 50 million units.
