Here’s a novel idea – release your operating system before any of the hardware comes out. That way the application developers will have time write bug free, abundant software before the release of any hardware. HP TouchPad

That never happens, but it is exactly what HP has done. This is good news for the HP TouchPad, Opal and Veer. Early Access Developers get a crack at the software today (and we’re sure Grapple is pretty high on that list) – so we should expect more, better and more stable apps when it comes time for the HP TouchPad release.

HP CEO Leo Apotheker announced that the HP TouchPad and HP Veer phones are going to be part of the companies PartnerOne Program.

This means that HP resellers and solution providers will have access to demo units and marketing dollars centered around the WebOS mobility line of products.

HP will probably sell more TouchPads and Veers in the consumer marketplace, but this tells us they see the WebOS Mobility space ready for the Enterprise Business. As the Commercial Industry becomes more focused on cloud computing, it is clear the HP TouchPad plans to have some sort of presence there, and not just with people who buy gadgets at Best Buy.

What does this mean for the HP TouchPad?

Well, the biggest concern about launching a tablet running WebOS in an already crowded tablet market is lack of developer support. The iPad and Android based tablets have had no issues getting thousands of apps created for use on their platforms, and this partnership shows how seriously HP is taking this hurdle they’ll have to overcome to make the HP TouchPad a success.

From the Grapple Press Release:

Alistair Crane, CEO Grapple Mobile, commented:

"Our clients want the ability to create the best possible applications on the most relevant platforms to reach their target audience, and to drive their business objectives. As tablets of all kinds become more prevalent and popular amongst the mainstream it is crucial for us to incorporate them into our fully cross-platform offering."

Richard Kerris, vice-president Developer Relations from HP, said:

“We are committed to working with the best international app developers and to ensuring that HP customers are getting access to a wide range of high quality apps for the HP TouchPad. Grapple Mobile will play a significant role in helping us to achieve this aim.”

We have no doubts that Grapple Mobile is a solid step in securing developers buy in to WebOS and the HP TouchPad.
