Amazing! Sony Ericsson actually managed to keep something secret from us. The Xperia Pro is a a single handset from its MWC presser currently which wasn’t well known about in allege, but we’re damn happy to see it at any rate. It features the well-spaced QWERTY set of keys that slides out most in a same approach as the gamepad would on the Xperia Play. We did notice there were a little program issues on the demo devices — the Sony Ericsson-customized Android 2.3 designation was nowhere near as well-spoken as what we’ve seen on the Xperia Arc formerly, so maybe SE will need a bit some-more time to fashion out the program here. Physically, a Pro is compress as well as seems decently well built — we did find a infrequently placed power button and teeny little volume controls a bit of a bother to locate and operate, however. Obviously, this is the large step up in size from a Xperia X10 Mini Pro, but density is kept mercifully in check. It doesn’t feel significantly thicker in the palm than phones that miss the hardware keyboard. We’ll have video of a device for you very before long, but for right away, suffer a hands-on shots next.

Update: Video right away embedded after the mangle.

How does the HP Veer look up close? Cute as the symbol, as well as small — these cinema don’t do it probity during all. We just got the hands on a pint-sized webOS 2.2 smartphone, as well as snapped a stack of pictures for your viewing wish. You won’t be able to flip these around like playing cards, though they will give you a handle on what to design from a miniature Pre 2 in the weeks or months to come, so click upon by that art studio below. We’ll have video in the impulse, as well!

Update: We went behind for seconds as well as came divided stuffed tender by the power of the tiny appurtenance — the form cause might bring back unpleasant memories of a Kin One, though a Veer feels like the multitasking beast. Before our eyes, an HP rep swiped rapid-fire through enough apps to plan and communicate a Yelp grill date in underneath a notation prosaic, and there wasn’t so most as an instant’s check when switching in between any. We’re big fans of a form factor, small screen in reserve, the sliding hinge is plain with the pleasant snap, as well as the cute little set of keys trustworthy to which slider is fairly serviceable despite its distance, with rubbery small keys which reminded us of those on a Palm Centro. What’s not to like?

Update 2: Video after a break!

Update 3: While we were incompetent to establish with faith what carrier the Veer demo units were regulating, an IMEI was clearly displayed in a device info shade, leading us to interpretation these were GSM phones (likely upon AT&T).

Palm HP didn’t worry referring to the webOS versions during the ‘Think Beyond’ event today, but formed upon a small fine imitation on the outfit’s central Touchstone portal, we’ve learned which a TouchPad will boat with webOS 3.0 (a heretofore unheard of build), whilst a Veer as well as Pre 3 will get going with webOS 2.2. That said, the incredible Tap-to-Share functionality that’ll enable these slates and phones to converse with one another will also await “webOS 2.2 or higher” upon the phones, suggesting which an refurbish could be in a waiting. We’ll keep you updated as we hear some-more, but for right away, peek the video of the total family removing cozy after the mangle.

By now, you know how HP’s brand new slate compares to a throng — right away, see how it looks up tighten as well as personal. We just got the hands upon that dual-core Palm webOS inscription here in San Francisco, and it’s the beaut, with the slim black profile that highlights a brilliant 9.7-inch screen. We’ll be behind in the twinkling with a little impressions of which recent Tap to Share and card-based multitasking, but for now, simply take a break your eyes upon the gallery below.

Update: Video time! Check it after a break.

The HP Pre 3 is here! We just got the hands upon one and snapped the total garland of pictures — see the gallery next. Stay tuned for the first impressions soon. We’re also still operative upon the shots of the Veer and the TouchPad, though pointy eyes can find both devices in the gallery next — there competence even be some iPhone as well as Nexus S comparison shots, though we don’t wish to give as well much divided.

Update: We just had a chance to play around with the Pre 3 at some length… as well as we have to contend it feels great. The body of a device is neat as well as plain, as well as the weight feels substantial in your hand. The shade is the comparatively atmospheric 3.6-inches, and webOS looks absolutely overwhelming on it. The additional fortitude is a large assistance on readability and clarity. The slider resource feels fairly solid, yet there’s the small give just at the end of it’s movement that done us slightly endangered. Compared to prior devices, however, it seems far tighter. We’re still messing around with a phone as well as will report behind upon what we find, though in conditions of hardware peculiarity, HP has taken a big step up here. As for a keyboard, it feels unequivocally illusory. We realize this is very most a matter of personal welfare, though we had 0 problems typing quickly and fairly on a Pre 3 right from the get go.

Update 2: Hardware hands-on video after a mangle!

Update 3: More pics, including the Touchstone 2 dock.

According to PreCentral , Palm’s stirring tablet — which we suspect will be officially suggested in just the couple of hours — will be dubbed TouchPad. They were able to hide in as well as hear a couple of details during a event credentials event, enabling them to endorse which it’ll weigh 1.5 pounds as well as magnitude 13mm thick (just as we’d heard). If those figures tune familiar, it’s since the fledgling startup in Cupertino only so happens to have the line-up that aligns just to those very specifications. Keep it sealed right here for the imminent liveblog — we’ll be bringing you a blow by blow as it goes down currently in San Francisco.

Update: Robert Scoble seems to have let loose a bit of report as good, confirming which a 10-inch slate is indeed upon a docket, as well as “the smallest little phone” he has ever seen. And before you consider that’s a certain charge, he also mentions it being too small to be taken seriously, as well as really not as “the competitor for a iPhone or Android.” Ouch. Guess we’ll have to see for ourselves as a day develops.

Update 2: Oh, boy! The HP Veer, Pre 3 as well as TouchPad just leaked upon HP’s central site. We’re cautiously optimistic that all these will be upon sale after currently.

The association says it’s thinking over today as well as intends to take webOS to “other continuous devices, together with printers, as well as some form factors you haven’t seen prior to.” Aside from a groundbreaking discovery that our next LaserJet might run the same formula as a dashing brand new TouchPad, there are few specifics to be learned, though HP promises to share further sum as a year goes on.

You wanted a tiny smartphone? Well, you’ve got it in HP’s Veer, a really first webOS-based device to bear a HP name alone but Palm’s alongside. It’s additionally the initial phone to make use of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7230 processor at 800MHz. Other headline specs include HSPA+ await, 8GB of storage, an accelerometer, vicinity and light sensors (as common, Touchstone compatibility, as well as mobile hotspot support. It’s honestly cute — though keyboard usability will be the large subject which we’ll need to have answered when a phone is expelled this spring. No word on carriers yet.
