Bigger isn’t necessarily better-at least according to Palm, now owned by HP. The HP Veer is apparently as thin as a credit card. It has a 2.6-inch display, which is pretty small compared to the 3.5-inch and larger displays we see on most smartphones today.
Pre 3
The Pre 3 looks a lot like the Pres of the past. HP, which bought Palm and its webOS mobile operating system last year, swears the keyboard is amazing and larger than the previous generations, but I’ll have to verify that in my hands-on tests. The phone sports a 3.6-inch 480-by-800 WVGA display that is two times the resolution of the first Pre. The Pre also sports HD video capture, a forward-facing video camera, and HSPA+ as well as EVDO Rev. A so it can be used as a world phone. Most intriguing, the Pre 3 has a 1.4 GHz processor.
HP today also announced its new TouchPad tablet, which also runs webOS.
