HP not ditching webOS, just the hardware
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsHPwebOS 3.0

The source revealed details from an all-hands meeting held with HP employees in the webOS Global Business Unit that indicate the platform could still live on through licensing.

HP calls it quits with webOS
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesTabletsHPPalmPrePre PlusTouchPad
After acquiring Palm for $1.2 billion in April 2010, HP has decided to call it quits and will no longer sell hardware powered by the webOS software that was the key behind its purchase of Palm. In a terse statement, the Palo Alto based firm said, "that it will discontinue operations for webOS devices, specifically the TouchPad and webOS phones. HP will continue to explore options to optimize the value of webOS software going forward."
When HP bought webOS, the idea was to have the software in printers, tablets, phones and computers all connecting with each other through the use of the operating system. Instead, HP was slow in bringing products to market and when something new was produced, ...

HP Pre3 Makes Stealthy Entrance Into The European Market, U.S. To Follow
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHPPre3
The HP Pre3 launched in Europe today, and oddly enough, HP had very little to say about it. With the TouchPad price falling like a rock, you’d expect that its intended complementary device — and HP’s flagship phone — would launch with more fanfare. But instead HP let the device land in its EuroStore and gave a short response to PreCentral, the first publication to notice its availability. Either way, the most important thing is that the carrier-free smartphone is ready to roll.

Best Buy still has 90 percent of its initial HP TouchPad tablet stock
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHPTouchPad
The HP TouchPad has had a bit of a rocky ride since its launch back at the beginning of July, with lukewarm reviews and a number of price cuts designed to trigger sales of the tablet. Despite the drop in price, it seems that HP is having quite a bit of trouble moving the TouchPad at retail, as All Things D is reporting that Best Buy is still sitting on over 90 percent of its original stock of the tablet.

HP's Pre 3 goes up for pre-order in Germany, shipping in '1 bis 2 Wochen'
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHPPre3
Remember the Pre 3? The portrait slider HP promised it'd be hawking to webOS fans by the end of summer? Well it might barely make its launch window, but only if you live in the land of the autobahn. Currently live on the Deutsches wing of HP's online store is a pre-order page for the elusive smartphone which'll apparently ship in "one to two weeks." The localized variant is unlocked and comes with a QWERTZ (yes, Z) keyboard instead of the QWERTY we're used to. And, at 349€ (or around $500), the handset is considerably cheaper than when when we first spied it on Amazon.de in May. Taking the plunge? Feel free to send one our way, preferably with bratwurst and rösti in tow, danke.

Orange UK turns on its HP Pre 3 support page, still no launch date
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHPPre3
Across the Atlantic, Orange UK has turned on its support page for the upcoming HP Pre3. Before Orange customers get terribly excited, the site offers nothing in the way of a UK launch date for the webOS device. On the other hand, it does confirm the specs on the device like the 1.2GHz dual-core processor, the 3.6 inch WVGA screen and a 5MP camera that captures video at 720p. Pre-installed is webOS 2.2 and 512MB of RAM is aboard. The HP Pre 3 comes with 8GB of internal storage but has no microSD slot.

Slim new HP TouchSmart AIO highlighted in leaked promo video
Like UnlikeFiled in: Desktop ComputersHP
A tipster sent in what looks to be a video of a forthcoming HP all-in-one. The TouchSmart 520 is a slim device, propped up by two "sweeping support arms," which allow the PC to be adjusted, much like in past models. Not a lot of specs to go on at this point, though the system does sport a "high definition display" and souped up audio courtesy of Beats. Enjoy the rendered slickness in the video after the break.

7-inch HP TouchPad Go leaked with 1.5GHz processor
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHP
HP’s TouchPad Go was recently approved by the the Federal Communications Commission, which revealed some information on the unannounced tablet. The webOS device could be equipped with a dual-core 1.5GHz processor and a 3G radio, which would indicate HP is looking to launch it with at least one U.S. carrier. We first heard word of a 7-inch TouchPad tablet in January of this year and the most recent rumors revealed that HP could launch the device this month. It is possible we’ll hear more about the TouchPad Go in the coming days, and we hope it gains more consumer traction than the original TouchPad, which just had its priced slash by $100 to make it more appealing.

Even at a discount, HP TouchPad fails to attract consumers
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHPTouchPad
Last week, Woot dropped the price of HP’s webOS-powered TouchPad tablet to just $379.99, the lowest price the tablet had seen yet. Despite such an attractive offering, only 612 people purchased the tablet during the Woot sale on August 5th. That’s roughly 25% of the 2,288 Motorola XOOM tablets Woot sold in a single day last month.

HP permanently drops TouchPad's price by a Benjamin
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHPTouchPad
Following this past weekend's sale of the HP TouchPad tablet that took $100 off the sticker price of both the 16GB and 32GB versions (or more if you knew where to look), HP has gone ahead and made the price drop permanent. A message from HP's SVP of the Personal Systems Group in North America Steven DiFranco was sent to retailers informing them of the price drop, and HP's own webstore has relisted the TouchPad at the lower price point.

HP gives $50 app credit to TouchPad early adopters
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHPTouchPad
Early adopters of HP’s TouchPad tablet have a little less to be upset with after seeing prices drop sharply in recent days. Over the weekend HP announced that qualifying early adopters would receive a $50 credit for use in the App Catalog.
HP has offered multiple price reductions since launching the TouchPad on July 1. The first of several kickbacks came in the form of a $50 rebate through July 31 for loyal buyers. If you could prove ownership of a Palm Pre, Pre Plus, or Pixi phone you qualified for the mail-in rebate on a 32 GB TouchPad.
A $50 price reduction was announced last week followed by a weekend-only additional $50 cut (August 5-7). Additionally, webOSroundup found a $100 Staples c...

$700 HP TouchPad 4G now available for pre-order from Amazon
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHPAmazonTouchPad
The HP TouchPad 4G with HSPA+ support is now available for pre-order from Amazon. The online retailer doesn’t give a specific launch date and instead says “this item has not yet been released,” and that customers “may pre-order it now and [Amazon] will deliver it to you when it arrives.” The TouchPad made its debut on July 1st as a Wi-Fi only device with a 1.2GHz processor. In our review we said the device was “just good” and that its software needed a “shot of adrenaline.” However, AT&T’s upcoming version will sport a faster 1.5GHz processor, the aforementioned HSPA+ support and HP’s latest webOS 3.0.2 software. Amazon is currently listing the TouchPad 4G for $699.99, which means you’ll be ...

HP TouchPad now $299.99 in Staples promo
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHPTouchPad
Tempted by that Woot $380 HP TouchPad deal we mentioned earlier today? There could be a way to get an even cheaper TouchPad, if you’re near a Staples this weekend. The retailer has already dropped the TouchPad by $100 from August 5 to 7, but webOSroundup spotted a Fatwallet coupon that promises another $100 off again. That could bring the 16GB TouchPad down to just $299.99.
Using the same coupon, you could potentially get the 32GB TouchPad for $399.99 too. The deal works because the initial $100 is an instant rebate and the second $100 is a coupon, so you’re not stacking coupons (which usually falls foul of the T&Cs).

Woot discounts the HP TouchPad to $379.99
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHPTouchPad
It seems that now is the best time to buy the HP TouchPad – HP has rolled out the much anticipated big update fixing most of the issues with the tablet and it's dropping the price on the 9.7-incher. Now, web discounter Woot.com has joined in and slashed the price of the 16GB TouchPad even further to $379.99. The website puts out a single product on sale for one day, so you'd better hurry. The tablet isn't even refurbished – it's brand new, so there's no catch if you don't count the additional $5 for shipping.
The HP TouchPad will ship with 1 year warranty from the manufacturer and all the standard contents in the package – a wall charger, a microUSB cable and a cleaning cloth. Woot's offer b...
