HP’s webOS has an impressive UI (as we found with our HP TouchPad hands-on). Now the company is planning to launch a cloud-based media streaming service into that slick interface that will go head-to-head with Apple’s iCloud and Google Music – and the tablet isn’t even out yet. Billboard magazine says it’ll feature music, movies and TV show streaming – presuming HP’s current talks with the record industry go smoothly. The HP TouchPad is rumoured for a July 17 release, with the 16GB model set to leave the shop in exchange for £400.
