webOS tablet interface leak suggests new gesture controls, like an iPad?

Right, we now have ‘unconfirmed’ full spec of the HP Topaz, but some people just can’t stop digging because people just keep on wanting more. We probably don’t need HP’s conference anymore if this keeps on going. “Yes, this is true…” “Yes, that is true…” “As you’ve read on the Internet, the Topaz is indeed…”

Anyway, here’s something more from another little document dug out from HP’s 2010 archives, and it’s delving into tablet-specific UI elements in webOS. The first notable thing is the inclusion of more sophisticated gesture and tap controls, with double-tap, tap-and-hold, and even two-finger tap-and-drag actions serving some unspecified functions in the tablet version of the software. Tabbed browsing also makes an appearance, alongside an auto-expanding email client and a page-turning element, all of which may or may not be in the final build shipping with the final devices. That’s why we have the word “unofficial” in the dictionary.
