Product Announced: HP TouchPad, HP Pre3 and the HP Veer

I am trying a new section out on the site - Product Announcements.

I get quite a few Emails per day letting me know about new gadgets and pieces of technology that are being developed and released. Usually I have a little read just to keep ahead of what's on the way so I decided that I will post here when any interesting ones come along. Not that it needs to be said with the amount of Emails you guys send me but let me know if you do or don't like it!



HP got in touch and said this:

Today HP announced three exciting new webOS products:

1. The HP TouchPad – the first webOS slate

2. The HP Pre3 – a smartphone designed for professionals who require mobile productivity and personal connectivity

3. The HP Veer – the smallest webOS smartphone to date
