A second Atom tablet is designed for the business market and would have no characteristics of a hybrid. The two x86-based tablets from HP would be in the fourth quarter of this year on the market.
In addition to the Intel models, HP is also working on a Windows 8 tablet based on an ARM processor from Qualcomm. Presumably the Snapdragon soc. Or the ARM model this year and the market will come is still unclear: it depends on the planned release of Windows 8 for the ARM platform.
