Palm-branded smartphones may be returning soon! According to this Android Central report, Alcatel OneTouch may’ve purchased the famous smartphone/PDA brand and could use it to unveil new Palm-named products at this year’s CES. Bear in mind this is still a rumor, but it makes a lot of sense to us. For one thing, the Alcatel…
Earlier this summer, to many people’s dismay, HP decided that they’re no longer going to make devices that run webOS. After seeing Palm come back from the dead and announce the original Pre back in January 2009, then watching them get swallowed up by HP in April 2010, and finally seeing them get killed earlier…
Following on Motorola being snatched up by Google, this week isn’t short of surprises. HP has announced that they’re going to “discontinue operations for webOS devices, specifically the TouchPad and webOS phones”, but “HP will continue to explore options to optimize the value of webOS software going forward.” Sure, webOS had a big climb to…
HP TouchPad users grew impatient yesterday as HP promised an update to the tablet at the end of July. Good things come to those who wait, it seems, as the update has just started rolling out today.

We’ve just gotten our review unit for the HP Veer 4G, and we figured we’d better get this thing unboxed for you guys sooner than later. It’s the newest webOS device for AT&T, and this thing is tiny. If you thought the Pre or Pixi was small, wait until you see this thing. Its length…
Fans of Palm’s webOS, all 14 of you, will be excited to hear news about two new devices that were discovered by a developer combing through his log files. One device is said to have a screen with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, the same as the 10 inch TouchPad due to launch…
HP and AT&T just announced the Veer 4G – a new webOS device with a compact form factor and a budget price point to boot.

We’ve seen trucks driving around promoting HP’s next webOS smartphone, we’ve seen the diminutive Veer pass through the FCC, and now some crisp press shots have surfaced, clearly marked for a spot on AT&T’s shelves.
