HP WebOS Event

HP is in need of some high quality mobile devices to take advantage of its Palm acquisition. Today, it announced three.

HP Veer

The HP Veer is a petite phone with a 2.6 inch screen (320 x 400). However, unlike other small phones, this one has a fast 800 MHz processor as well as a 5 megapixel camera. It will sport the familiar Palm form factor with a portrait slide out keyboad and will run WebOS 2.2. The Veer will be availabe "this spring" at an undetermined price point.

HP Pre 3

WebOS's new flagship phone has put HP (and Palm) back in the game. The Pre 3 is improved in every way. It will wield a larger 3.6 inch screen at a modern resolution (800 x 480). It will also contain an ultra fast 1.4 GHz processor as well as a 5 megapixel camera and 720p video recording. The HP Pre 3 will be powered by WebOS's latest, 2.2. Availability will be sometime "this summer" at an undetermined price point.

HP TouchPad

A viable competitor to both the Xoom and the iPad (and the Playbook), the HP Touchpad sports the fastest processor found in any. Blazing along WebOS 3.0 on a 1.2 GHz dual core processor, the HP Touchpad provides a 9.7 inch window to your world by way of 1024 x 768 pixels. It also has a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera and will be available "this summer" at an undetermined price point.
