HP TouchPad looks like contender

Sat, 12 Feb 2011 05:08:45 +0000

So we have the Apple iPad, and we’ve seen what the new Android 3.0 OS can do on the Mircosoft Xoom. Now we have HP Touchpad out running the latest version of Web OS. As the original release of Web OS, the interface is very fluid and highly comparable to iOS. Will HP be able to make WebOS into a winner? Something Palm lacked doing? Along with the HP touchpad, they also released Pre 3, and a smaller version of the WebOS phone. Rumor has it the HP TouchPad will go for 699. Apple 16 GB version is looking like a rockstar right now.

Sprint Account Services says no to order pre over phone

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 17:44:25 +0000

I had a conversation with Sprint’s Account Services and they claim that you can not order the Palm Pre through them. The only place you can get it is at Walmart, Sprint Store, Best Buy or Radioshack. This a true disappointment for those customers that have been classified as Premier customers. Premier customers get first dibs on new phones… With this, that is not the case. The Account Service rep told me that I will have to stand in line to get the phone (lines ha they are really expecting the phone to be hot.. sprint also expect lines for the initial release of instinct.) Of course this phone is more hyped and are expecting a shortage. I guess I will be in line Saturday morning. They better have enough phones to meet initial demand.
