admin — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 22:30:00 +0000

When HP announced last month that it would open-source webOS, the outfit seemed mighty pleased (and relieved) to have finally made a definitive decision regarding the fate of its $1.2 billion software experiment.

webOS brick-and-mortar stores close forever, may they rest in peace

admin — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 18:08:00 +0000

It’s with broken heart that we announce that the doors have officially shut for good on all remaining webOS retail stores. The news likely won’t come as a shock to many, given HP’s intent to scrap the operating system from its future plans. This isn’t the first physical manifestation of the company’s announcement, when factoring in the plethora of layoffs taking place; nonetheless, anyone affected or touched by a Palm device over the last 19 years may likely mourn the loss

Pre 3 for AT&T review

This is a review of a phone that was never actually released to the public on AT&T. Despite the unfortunateness of the prior statement, we felt obligated to run this device through the wringer as a final farewell to Palm, the Pre line and webOS on consumer devices.

Verizon Palm Pre 2 gets its webOS 2.1 wings

admin — Sat, 25 Jun 2011 10:23:00 +0000

Good news for Palm Pre 2 owners of the Big Red variety, the endless breath-holding can finally stop — webOS 2.1 is finally making its way to your handset. Released back in March to the global unlocked masses, this update to HP’s platform brings along voice-dialing, email and security fixes, messaging backup (sorry, no MMS), and a Sense 3.0-like charging display that’ll float your photos, agenda, or simply keep the time. That should be enough to tide you over until the Pre 3 hits VZW’s stores, no

HP Veer 4G review

admin — Fri, 13 May 2011 21:00:00 +0000

HP’s Jon Rubenstein told us that his company wanted to veer in a new direction , and veer it surely did — the HP Veer 4G will arguably be the smallest fully-functional smartphone on the market when it goes on sale May 15th . In a nutshell, it’s a Palm Pixi Plus in the guise of a Pre , only in a delightfully downsized package with webOS 2.1 and thoroughly modern functionality. What does it feel like to Just Type on its tiny keyboard or throw app cards across its itsy-bitsy 2.6-inch screen?

Samsung promises a dual-core 2GHz smartphone ‘by next year’

admin — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 14:59:00 +0000

Are you ready for a scorching-fast future? Samsung sure is, as today the Maeli Business Newspaper reports “a high-ranking” company official has disclosed Samsung’s intention to deliver a dual-core smartphone that runs at 2GHz. That’s 2GHz for each core, not the specious 1GHz multiplied by two mathematics that Sanjay Jha likes to dabble in

HP planning Veer launch party for May 2nd, AT&T brings cake for webOS 3.0 devs

admin — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 02:07:00 +0000

We still don’t have a solid release date for HP’s tiny Veer — we’ve been told it’s ” coming around the corner ” and will be here ” soon ” — but if we were the guessing type, we’d say that the pint-sized webOS 2.2 smartphone will hit the market on or about the 2nd of May. That’s because a PreCentral reader stumbled across what looks like an official invitation to an “HP Veer Launch Party Event” in Los Angeles on that very date, and it’s typically fairly difficult to launch a handset without a handset to launch, if you know what we mean. Still, this looks like a business-to-business event, so we wouldn’t circle your calendar quite yet — but if you’ve already got that red marker out, you might want to put a X over May 12th instead.

HP’s keyboard-less webOS phone and Verizon Pre 3 leaked?

admin — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 11:13:00 +0000

Our good friends over at PreCentral have just received a couple of juicy scoops, even for this time of the day. According to their proven tipster, what we’re looking at here is an upcoming webOS phone sans keyboard — a first for Rubinstein’s crew, as many of you might already know. While there’s not much detail to go with this pic, it appears that this here slate’s just slightly bigger than the Pre 3, and that the little spot above the screen could be either a front-facing camera or merely a proximity sensor

webOS VP flies the coop, joins Numenta as marketing guru for imminent product launch

You probably don’t know who Joe Hayashi is — well, unless you skimmed his bio immediately above — but he just departed one company that you might care about, and went to another one. Hayashi was VP of webOS product development at Palm / HP, and now he’s become the VP of marketing at Numenta, also known as the place where Palm’s founder (and two former CEOs) decided to stay after the Folio tanked

Palm Pre Plus to get webOS 2 after all?

admin — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 19:49:00 +0000

We won’t lie: we did feel a little put out when our pal Jon Rubinstein told us that webOS 2.0 wouldn’t be coming to the Palm Pre Plus — something about the older hardware not having the necessary “oomph” to handle the new OS. But perhaps all hope is not lost! According to a rep from O2 Germany (as espied on the company’s support forums) HP will make with the new operating system at some point in the near future — just not as an over-the-air update.
