The HP Pre 3 Palm Phone: 1.4GHz Qualcomm CPU, 3.6-inch WVGA, familiar sliding QWERTY

The first Pre breathed new life into Palm. The Pre 2, on the other hand, didn't exactly have the same luster and longevity. Here's to a decidedly Palm-less round three.

The QWERTY slider with the all-too-familiar form factor has a 3.6-inch 800 x 480 display (a marked improvement over past Pres), 5 megapixel camera with AF and LED flash, HD video, a front-facing camera for video calling, mobile hotspot. Under the hood? A Qualcomm CPU running at 1.4GHz (!), HSPA+ and EVDO Rev A -- yep, it's a world phone -- and the same RAM as the Pre 2 (that's 512MB DRAM). It'll be Touchstone compatible, naturally, and will switch to Exhibition mode when docked to show pictures and upcoming appointments. There's some interesting synergy going on where the TouchPad tablet can take Pre 3's phone calls, and just touching the two devices together will let you share URLs between two devices with the same webOS account. This one's gonna keep you waiting, though -- available is this summer with both 8GB and 16GB storage options.

The Hp TouchPad, Palm CEO Jon announced the HP TouchPad , this device is having lots of feature as we are finding features in Apple Ipad but this Hp TouchPad is having more feature then iPad, like more processing speed, video calling facility but shape almost exactly like Apple iPad.

Other specifications include a 9.7-inch display (1024 x 768 screen resolution), a dual-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon CPU (!), inbuilt gyroscope, accelerometer, compass and 16GB / 32GB of internal storage space. There's also a front-facing 1.3 megapixel webcam, support for video calling, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, "twice the memory of a Pre 2" and a set of stereo speakers.

HP's shipping this one with its own Beats audio engine, Tap-to-Share (a feature that lets users easily transfer a website, document, or song from the phone to the tablet -- or vice versa -- simply by tapping the two devices together) and a huge reliance on the cloud. Also of note, Jon just mentioned that this is only the "first in the webOS TouchPad family," hinting that the Opal may be just around the bend.
