It goes without saying that funerals are a downer, but we all deserve a proper sendoff, — unfortunately for Palm.com, there will be no tearful goodbyes. We reported just a few months ago that Palm was on its way out, and now HP’s unceremoniously given the brand’s URL the boot. You can still find the Palm logo at a number of related URLs scattered about the internets — the brand’s support page, twitter account, and official blog are still up and running — but try typing Palm.com in your address bar, and you’ll be swiftly redirected to HPwebOS.com.

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?
LAPTOP Magazine This Just In: HP Veer 4G for AT&T AnandTech Next to the AT&T Palm Pre Plus, the Veer looks very small. Compared to the 4.3-inch devices I've been carrying and reviewing for so long now, its size is positively mind-blowing.

Goodbye, Hello and WTF? TechNewsWorld I actually liked the idea of the Palm Foleo, an interesting product that was aborted in 2007 in order to create the failed Palm Pre . The Foleo, which was also somewhat similar to the new Motorola Atrix, was a laptop-like accessory for its once-popular ..

Though webOS 2.1 has already gone out to Pre 2s (and a handful of Pre Pluses ) around the globe, developers not included in HP’s NDA-protected Early Access Program have been shut out of the latest version of the SDK — until now. That’s right: any old riffraff coming in off the street now have access to the webOS 2.1 SDK download, featuring Exhibition enhancements, “hybrid” app support for packages that span HTML, JavaScript, and C / C++, and JavaScript-based webOS service development capability
Just two days after dropping the price of the Palm Pre 2 on Verizon down to $29.99 with a two-year agreement, HP has now brought the price down to the low, low amount of free. Verizon is still selling the Pre 2 for $149.99 with a two-year contract, but we imagine that it will be dropping the price soon as well.
