WoodWing announces publishing support for new HP tablet

Press release from the issuing company

Zaandam, The Netherlands – WoodWing Software, an innovation leader in the tablet-publishing world, announced today that the company’s software supports publishing on the HP TouchPad tablet, first introduced by HP on February 9 at its “Think Beyond” launch event in San Francisco. The HP TouchPad was also presented at the Mobile World Congress, which took place in Barcelona, Spain, from February 14-17.

During the launch event, digital editions of Time Magazine, PEOPLE Magazine and Sports Illustrated created with WoodWing´s tablet publishing solution were shown on the HP TouchPad tablet. WoodWing developed a native Reader App for HP webOS to enable publishers to also serve their readers using webOS devices.

“I am very impressed with the HP TouchPad – it's nicely built, very user-friendly and it looks simply great,” said Erik Schut, President of WoodWing Software. “But what a technical person like me appreciates the most is that HP webOS supports native HTML5. This is a great basis for now and the future. As it is part of our strategy to support all platforms relevant for our customers, we are pleased to include the webOS platform for publishers at this early stage.”
