Today was the day of all things HP and Palm webOS. In our US Update we break down the details of three new webOS devices: HP Pre 3, HP Veer, and HP TouchPad. Later we look at two major webOS battles and you help us decide the winners.
The HP TouchPad is now official, becoming the world’s first webOS tablet. Powered by a dual-core Snapgdraon processor running at 1.2 GHz, the TouchPad looks to take the fight to Apple’s iPad later this Summer.
The HP Pre 3 is the third installment in the Pre handsets. Aimed at business users needing 24/7 connectivity, the Pre 3 adds a larger display and 1.4 GHz processor. Look for the Pre 3 Summer 2011.
The third device announcement today was the HP Veer, a credit-card sized smartphone. Replacing the Pixi and Pixi Plus, the HP Veer doubles the memory and bumps the processing power to 800 MHz (up from 600 MHz). Is this the perfect pint-sized smartphone?
We wrap up the morning with two webOS showdowns. First we pinned the Palm Pre 2 against the HP Pre 3 and later we compared the Palm Pixi Plus to the HP Veer. Help us decide the true champion.
That wraps up things from my side of the pond. As always I’m Nick Marshall saying over and out. I’ll see you again tomorrow.
