HP, along with the TouchPad tablet, also unveiled two new WebOS-based smartphones today, the Pre 3 and the Veer (which will replace the Pixi).
The small Veer will have a 2.6-inch touchscreen display with 320x400 resolution, and includes a full slide-out QWERTY. The smartphone will run on an 800MHz Snapdragon processor, include a 5MP camera, built-in Flash, GPS, HSPA+, 802.11b/g, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR and 8GB storage.
Jon Rubenstein, head of HP's mobility group, says the Veer is "something that is powerful yet elegantly small."
Up next was the successor to the popular Pre (Plus) line, the Pre 3, which has a 3.6-inch touchscreen with 480x800 resolution.
The smartphone will run on a very powerful 1.4GHz Snapdragon processor, have 512MB DRAM, dual cameras with LED flash, 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, an accelerometer, proximity, and light sensors, and a compass.
HP's Pre 3 will be available as an HSPA+ and EVDO Rev A world phone, and with 8GB or 16GB.
Each of the devices are Touchstone compatible for easy wireless charging.
No word on price or a set release date outside of "summer."
