HP CTO suggests webOS integration will run deep

HP's Chief Technology Officer, Shane Robison, said that "what Palm gives us is a modern, Web-oriented, connected operating system," which he suggests will be central to many of the company's products. In particular, Robison said that "most" of HP's printers will soon be web-connected, and that webOS will allow it to have a consistent interface across those and other devices. He did say that webOS wouldn't be replacing Windows on netbooks.

HP not making Windows Phone 7 devices, focusing on webOS instead

No big surprise here, but HP Personal Systems Group VP Todd Bradley just flat-out confirmed to CNBC that HP will not be making any Windows Phone 7 devices, preferring instead to focus on the newly-acquired webOS for its line of smartphones.


 Here's the entire exchange:

    Q: Can you make webOS successful with developers when you're selling Windows Phone 7, maybe Android or Linux at the same time?

    A: We continue to be Microsoft's biggest customer, and we continue to believe we will drive innovation with Microsoft. At the same time, I think it's clear to say, that we're very focused on the customer, and giving the customer the experience that's important to them. We won't do -- will not do a Linux / Android phone. We won't do a Microsoft phone.

    Q: So no Windows Phone 7?

    A: We will continue to more broadly deliver the webOS-based phones that are in the market today, and Jon and his team have driven a strong roadmap for the future.

    Q: So does that mean you're going webOS only for phones?

    A: For smartphones it does. Our intent is to focus those resources and really make webOS the best OS it can be.
That's a big ouch for Microsoft -- it has to sting when your biggest customer turns its back on your fledgling mobile efforts -- but we can't exactly see HP spending a billion dollars on Palm only to turn around and support multiple platforms.

HP Slate lookalike spotted in China, might beat the real thing to the market

Once again, China has proven to the world that it's the place to be for all sorts of gadgetry miracle. Just look at this 10-inch Windows 7 tablet here -- it may not be a full clone of the forthcoming 8.9-inch HP Slate, but it does come with a couple of interesting features: a 1366 x 768 resistive  multitouch display (ideal for tackling the complicated Chinese characters with a stylus) and a webcam.

You'll also find a handful of regular tidbits on this 1.66GHz Atom N450 device: a regular USB port coupled by a mini version, 3.5mm headphone jack, VGA port, LAN port, accelerometer, Bluetooth, WiFi and 3G. Oh, and you'll get a free stand, too, but we'll be minding our own business until this no-frills tablet gets a price.

HP TouchSmart tm2 gains Core i5 CPU option, a whole new level of respect

We're looking at a case of the latter here today, as HP's oh-so-lovable 12-inch TouchSmart tm2 is now available to order with a Core i5 processor. Just months after gaining  Core i3 support, the convertible tablet can now be ordered with a 1.2GHz Core i5-430UM (capable of hitting 1.73GHz with Turbo Boost). Said CPU can be paired with integrated Intel graphics or with a discrete ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5450, and 4GB of DDR3 RAM is standard on either configuration.

HP files for 'PalmPad' trademark -- a webOS tablet, perhaps?

HP's been extremely direct in saying that it plans to release webOS tablets and other devices in the future, and now that the Palm acquisition is complete, it looks like those plans are starting to move forward -- the company just filed a trademark application for "PalmPad," which certainly sounds like a webOS tablet to us. We don't know much apart from that, but it's certainly an encouraging sign -- and we can't help but feel a twinge of nostalgia for a name that harkens back to the glory days of the PalmPilot. Now we're just wondering when (this fall?), how much, and -- as usual -- what this means for the HP Slate.

HP Android tablet coming later than you think, or not at all

Although nothing official has come from HP on this front, we got some pretty solid word back in April that the American giant was mulling an Android tablet. As it turns out, what with the WebOS acquisition that followed and HP's dogged commitment to Windows 7, that Googly project has apparently slipped out of the limelight in HP HQ. Word from All Things Digital is that there'll be nothing forthcoming this year (as was tentatively expected) and if an HP Android tablet is to materialize, it'll have to come in 2011. The company seems to be in the midst of reallocating resources to its higher priority projects, and who knows, should that rumored Hurricane tablet blow us all away, Android might never gets its chance to shine at all.

HP laying off some Palm staff as integration begins

It's not totally unexpected, but apparently HP is laying off some Palm staffers now that the buyout is official. We don't know exactly how many people are being let go, or in what departments -- it certainly makes sense for HP to trim away some administrative and support positions as it integrates Palm into its larger organization -- but there's no question that Palm's lost some  key  people  ever since this turmoil began, and we're definitely curious to see who's left standing after these cuts.  Palm told All Things Digital that "part of the integration strategy is consolidation of functions and operations, as appropriate," and that "Palm employees overall are enthusiastic about having the financial stability and global scale necessary to complete their vision," so we've got hope -- after all, HP needs Palm just as much as Palm needs HP.

HP ePrint really works: eMails and attachments printed from the cloud

HP's ePrint  service is probably best seen in action . The idea is that each ePrint printer gets a unique email address, meaning you can send in a document from any email-enabled device to get it printed, thus eliminating the hassle of finding a computer and drivers or installing an app on certain smartphones and tablets.  According to our sister site, you must first register your printer on HP's ePrintCenter website to obtain a randomly-generated email address (don't worry, you can always get a new one if necessary), and then you're good to go, literally.

Once registered, any email sent to the printer will first be screened by HP's ePrintCenter for viruses and spam (white and black lists supported) before the email body and supported attachments (PDFs, JPEGs, and Microsoft Office documents; no more than 5MB in total) are printed. As you'd expect, all of this scanning and downloading over the web does incur additional delay

HP Mini 110 and 210 netbooks get Atom N455 and N475 accoutrement

HP has thoughtfully upgraded the Mini 110 and Mini 210 to offer your choice of Intel's N455 or N475 Atom processors. Those chips bring DDR3 memory compatibility to the table, which both netbooks now offer by default, while the optional N475 brings either one up to 1.88GHz -- though you'll have to pay an extra $25 as proof of your commitment to handle that sort of blazing performance. The default 110 with 1GB of memory starts at $280 right now, while a base 210 will set you back $330.

HP / Palm buyout officially complete -- get ready for webOS printers

It's only been a couple short months since HP announced its intentions to buy Palm, but apparently all the investors are happy and the lawyers are rich, because the two companies have just announced that the $1.2b transaction is official and the buyout is complete -- Palm is now part of HP. Yes, it's the end of an era -- Palm's been a part of the tech landscape in one confounding way or another since 1992 -- but it's also the start of what could potentially be a webOS renaissance, as HP plans to use Palm's ideas and OS on everything from smartphones to tablets to even printers. We still don't know exactly how Palm's people and structure will be folded into HP, or what exact role CEO Jon Rubinstein will play, but Palm's already lost some  important  people, and managing that transition while still keeping the product roadmaps on course will be the next great challenge for these two companies. Here's to the best -- now how about some of that rumored new hardware?

HP G72-250us

Review:

The HP G72-250us ($749.98 list) costs and weighs less than most desktop replacement laptops  while offering close to the same application performance as its higher-end 17.3-inch competitors. Unfortunately, the audio output is weak, which is all the more disappointing considering its intended use as an entertainment laptop. The G72-250us, sold at Staples, boasts an updated design, part of HP's latest laptop makeover. Inside, it features an Intel Core i3 processor, which serves up excellent performance for the price.

HP TouchSmart tm2 review

When HP launched the TouchSmart tx2, it was the first convertible laptop for consumers featuring multitouch technology. Now, with its successor, the HP TouchSmart tm2, HP aims to take the touch experience up another notch. The tm2 continues to have a multitouch capacitive display, but now comes with a digitized pen stylus for use when the tm2 is in tablet mode, as well as a consumer ultra-low voltage (CULV) processor.

Technical Specificatiom:

• The tm2 has an aluminum finish covering
• The laptop has a HD LED convertible screen that measures 12.1 inches and has a 1,280 by 1,240 resolution.
• It adds a FireWire port, as well as an HDMI port.
• It has 3 USB ports.
• The touchpad is  oversized, and nitrated the mouse buttons
• The tm2 comes with new touch applications: BumpTop, a touch-enhanced 3D interface for organizing or sharing photos and documents over social media networks, as well as over e-mail; DigiFish Dolphin, an interactive 3D screensaver; and Corel Pian it! Touch
• The tm2 will come standard with the Intel Core 2 Duo SU 9600 processor
• 4GB of DDR3 memory.
• There are options available to upgrade to an Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 CPU and/or up to 8GB DDR3 memory.
• It also comes with a 500GB, 7,200rpm hard drive.
• The screen rotates to lie flat on top of the keyboard; you can use the bundled digital pen to "write" on the screen.
• With the CULV processor, HP is obviously focused on extending battery life. In fact, it claims that the tm2 can last over 9.5 hours with its standard 6-cell battery.
• Base price for the tm2 is $949,
