HP sends webOS to death in the hands of “the open source community”, may do tablets again in 2013
webOS’ fate has been sealed. If you were still wondering (in which case you’re unbelievably fanboyish), webOS is dead. Or, at least, the webOS that you and I know is. Officially. So how did HP choose to end this little mobile OS that (once) could? Simple. HP Symbianed webOS. Yes, webOS will be contributed to [...]
HP Pre 3 will be available in the UK tomorrow for £360
It’s definitely been a long time since HP announced the Pre 3 back in February, yet here we are half a year later and the smartphone still isn’t available to purchase in the UK.

HP TouchPad will be available in Australia on August 15
The HP TouchPad, the company’s first webOS-based tablet, is already available in North America and in some European markets. So it’s expected that it will slowly make its way to other territories. After all, one of HP’s key strengths is distribution, so it may as well sell the TouchPad in as many countries as it [...]

The HP Pre 3 was announced all the way back in February, yet unlike the HP TouchPad and the HP Veer that were also announced at the same time, HP’s flagship smartphone still isn’t available anywhere. In the UK, we heard that it would launch on July 8, but that obviously hasn’t happened and there [...]

AT&T is about to get its very own version of the HP TouchPad webOS tablet. HP has just officially announced the TouchPad 4G, which will become available on AT&T “in time for back to school”.

Sprint won’t get the HP Pre 3
The HP Pre 3 is the first high-end webOS-powered smartphone to be developed after HP purchased Palm. And while it’s still not available in the US, it is coming soon, and, HP hopes, will put webOS back on the map, so to speak. Sprint was the launch partner for the original Pre, a device that [...]
7-inch HP Opal tablet may launch in August
Back in January we first heard some leaked tidbits about HP’s plans in the tablet space. And what we heard back then was that HP was working on two webOS-powered tablets.

The HP Pre 3 was announced all the way back in February, yet since then we’ve heard little to nothing about this smartphone and its journey to the US market. We have however heard all kinds of things about the Pre 3′s small sibling, the Veer, or even the TouchPad, HP’s first webOS tablet, yet [...]
HP Pre 3 pre-orders start in the UK, £349.99 and shipping on July 8
This February, HP announced its new lineup of webOS-powered hardware for 2011, while also getting rid of the Palm brand. Since then, we’ve played with the devices, and while we’ve heard a lot of things about the TouchPad and the Veer, the Pre 3 isn’t a device we get to write about every week. Which [...]
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 Veer will be available from O2 Germany in June, reserve yours now
The HP Veer is certainly a slick looking little smartphone (even though it may be a bit too tiny for the average human being). We’ve known for a while that it was headed to O2 in Germany, with the carrier previously announcing that it would become available in May. Apparently something came up, since O2 [...]
