It’s no secret that HP is looking to sell its webOS division and a new report suggests that Oracle may be one of the interested parties. While it’s likely not to happen, if Oracle did buy webOS, don’t expect the enterprise-data company to launch into the commercial or enterprise mobile and tablet space, as it…
Palm, a brand that was once loved by many who made the company’s delightfully simple and easy to use personal digital assistants an essential part of their lives, has been repeatedly kicked in the face over the past few years. On the brink of death, they got some money from a big mouth long haired…
Just when you think there are no more TouchPads available, more begin to pop out of nowhere. It turns out HP is giving registered devs in the US, Canada and Europe the opportunity to get their hands on a 32 GB HP TouchPad on the cheap for just $150, for a limited time and while supplies last. This…
