So, HP is fluctuating “Touchstone” to meant more than “which complicated, slanted magnet thing which my Pre always slips off of.” For starters, the TouchPad has a Touchstone charging dock — it’s not magnetic, though during least you don’t have to worry about plugging the thing in, as well as it’s quite suited to operative with a set of keys. But that’s not the real sorcery. HP has enabled the three brand new webOS inclination (The TouchPad, Veer, as well as Pre 3) to promulgate over Touchstone regulating “Touch-to-share” tech. You simply place your phone on tip of the TouchPad, as with pictures, as well as whatever you’re viewing upon a phone pops up in the tablet’s browser. We’re not certain how this works bi-directionally, but HP mentions both scenarios, so hopefully it shouldn’t be which difficult to configure the URL to come from a inscription and land upon the phone. The two devices have to be upon the same webOS account, however, so don’t get any crazy ideas about pity URLs with friends. Naturally, there should be the lot more “Continuous Client”-style uses for this tech in a future, though we’d say URL pulling is a good start. Finally, a old-fashioned Touchstone is starting to work with a Veer as well as Pre 3, that will right away be sent into an “Exhibition” mode when docked. The mode allows a phone to monitor photos or arriving appointments, depending upon a user’s particular level of sentimentality.

We h eard earlier this month that Magellan was looking to one-up TomTom by outing an iPod touch / iPhone GPS car kit of its very own, but a few critical details were missing: namely, a price and a rel ease date. Thanks to a new product listing on Amazon (capped after the break), we at least have a clue as to when this thing wi ll be shipping stateside and for how much. If you’ll recall, this one’s compatible with the 2nd and 3rd generation iPod touch as well as the iPhone 3G and 3GS, and aside from providing a built-in speaker, charging capabilities and a noise-canceling handsfree speakerphone, it’ll also work with any navigation or location-based app — not just Magellan’s own $79.99 RoadMate program. The unfortunate part here is that Magellan has somehow ma naged to produce a cradle that’s actually more expensive that the ludicrously overpriced TomTom variant, but those willing to part with $129.99 can place their order now and lo ok for a December 11th ship date.

It may lack wireless connectivity, but it’s sure got the look. Zemno’s latest portable docking station is probably the most elaborate that we’ve ever seen, boasting an Apple-esque appearance that’s designed to mesh well with Cupertino’s latest MacBook models. The company claims that any lap pie under 15-inches in size can be used with its DeskBook Pro, though we’re guessing only the hardcore drumbeaters woul d act ually shell out $499.99 for something such as this. As for functionality, the port-laden slate allows for up to two hard drives to be docked simultaneously or any combination of hard drive, battery, or peripheral device with access to 16 input / output connections. The device als o supports ModBays, which are interchangeable accessories designed to conveniently slip in and out of the DeskBook Pro. Hit the read link for the full list of I/O ports, but only if you managed to not be appalled by the aforesaid MSRP.
Zemno’s $500 DeskBook Pro docking station is strictly for zealots
