With an announcement released just moments ago, the smartphone wars have seen their latest casualty. HP is discontinuing all operations related to webOS hardware after only a year of ownership and despite recent new devices. This includes the platform’s first tablet — not that the HP TouchPad was anything to write home about. In fact, [...]

And that other dimension would be Canada. Best Buy, Canada to be exact. One of the advertising wizards behind their weekly flyer has the HP TouchPad curiously listed as running Android 3.0 Honeycomb. Right…but the TouchPad actually runs webOS 3.0. We understand getting the 3.0 part confused, but a quick glance at the other side [...]

We’ve been trying to ignore it in our blue little Phandroid bubble here, but HP announced new WebOS-based devices today, including the Pre 3 and the TouchPad tablet. The tablet doesn’t look bad, and the Pre 3 finally dons the hardware it needs under the hood to run WebOS smoothly. So we’re curious: are you [...]

The unusual combo of printer/Android tablet in the HP Photosmart eStation C510 might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but if you’ve been needing a new printer and wouldn’t mind having a companion tablet powered by Android then you can order it starting today at HP’s website and participating resellers. We honestly wouldn’t recommend getting [...]

After we figured HP was just about done with Android after their acquisition of Palm (which gave them full access to webOS and tons of neat software patents), rumors began swirling that those earlier suspicions were a tad bit preemptive and that HP still had plans to bring out an Android tablet. That tablet would [...]

After HP acquired Palm and made an obvious shift in focus from Android to webOS for their next round of tablets, we figured Android wouldn’t return to their scene for quite some time. It seems that time has come sooner rather than later as latest reports regarding recent FCC filings suggest HP is bringing out [...]

It’s been a while since we heard about the tablet device that HP was supposed to be introducing with Android on-board. That’s probably because the project is now on hold, if AllThingsD is to be believed. Their sources inside HP have told them that the planned 2010 release has been pushed back, but there’s no [...]

There had been a bit of speculation that acquisition-hungry Google may consider buying the flailing Palm. That was probably just wishful thinking, similar to the rumors that HTC may have a go at the company but later stated they had little interest in taking over where webOS had left off. Or maybe Palm would switch [...]

HP Compaq gave us a sneak peak at their Android-powered netbook at the most recent CES and Mobile World Congress, but they’ve remained rather tight-lipped on the device’s specifications (even after it’s passed FCC). We’ve already gotten our taste at an initial list of expected specs, but HP has officially confirmed them today. As expected, [...]

With all the buzz surrounding the HTC Incredible and everything that it’ll bring with it, it’s easy to forget there are other phones out there needing some loving, too. The hottest phone set to come out this summer, Sprint’s HTC EVO 4G, will come with a healthy set of accessories for its owners to play [...]

The Mobile World Congress doesn’t officially start until tomorrow, but that hasn’t stopped some early Android attention from being waved around. Take the Compaq Airlife 100 for instance – an Android Smartbook manufactured by HP with a data plan partnership through Telefonica. That desktop/homescreen looks more attractive than the majority of other Android netbook/smartbooks we’ve [...]

HP had a little bit of Android to show off at CES 2010 but some things they only share with the FCC – like the Compaq Airlife 100 smartbook. Lucky for us the FCC is pretty much an open book: There isn’t anything in the way of details, unfortunately. With Apple bringing a tablet to [...]

Android Phones dominate news and talk about Google’s Android Mobile OS but we’ve seen the prospect of an Android Netbook gaining particular interest. That interest could stand to skyrocket – the Wall Street Journal is reporting that HP is testing Android Netbooks and is considering replacing Microsoft Windows with Android for at least a portion [...]
