The Smartphone Wars on Television. The best smartphone commercials.
Apple sold an astounding 47 million iPhones in Q4 2012. This was only good enough for second place in the “smartphone wars”. Samsung, the clear leader, sold nearly 65 million smartphones. The success of Samsung, which is dominating the Android market, is no doubt partly due to their constant, aggressive marketing. Expect more of this [...]
White AT&T HP Veer now just $0.01 at Amazon (with contract)
The HP Veer is the company’s little brother to the Pre 3. It signifies HP’s efforts to put webOS into the hands of the ‘average consumer’, not someone who usually targets smartphones when buying a new handset. The Veer is a bit exclusive also, in that it really can’t be used by people (read: men) [...]
HP TouchPad may launch on June 12
HP’s first webOS-powered tablet, the TouchPad, is going to be a nice entrance in the tablet market which is getting more and more crowded by the day. That’s even if the TouchPad won’t manage to outsell Apple’s iPad, as HP seems to think will happen. We’ve heard before that the TouchPad may finally launch in [...]
HP is delusional, thinks the Touchpad will sell more than the iPad
Today’s funny moment is brought to you by HP. More specifically, Eric Cador, HP’s European head, has said that HP’s Touchpad is going to be “better than number one”, “number one plus”. Okay, so he didn’t actually say that the Touchpad will sell better than the iPad, although that’s clearly what he implied. Not saying [...]

New HP WebOS smartphone (Stingray?) and Verizon Pre 3 leaked
Since HP took over Palm, the company announced only two new smartphones: the HP Pre 3, and the HP Veer.

Possibly [...]
Verizon Palm Pre 2 now free on contract
Although the HP Pre 3 has been announced recently, Verizon has only gotten around to starting selling the Palm Pre 2 in the second half of last month.
