HP trademarks Gyst, Myte, Veer for possible Palm phones

Posted in HP by Conner Flynn on December 16th, 2010

HP has been busy today having filed a trio of trademarks for devices that could represent Palm’s 2011 webOS lineup. The USPTO filings refer to the Gyst, Myte and Veer in generic terms but they could fit the description of a smartphone. These three could be the previously codenamed Mantaray, Stingray and Windsor, with the previously mentioned Broadway maybe being the Pixi 2.

We don’t know what these phones will do versus the Pre 2 and Pixi 2, but at least one will likely to be a touch-only model. We will just have to wait and see what happens.

HP’s Zeen tablet due in September

Posted in HP by Conner Flynn on August 15th, 2010

HP’s entry into the tablet arena with the Zeen tablet could happen pretty fast if supplier leaks to Digitimes are accurate. The tablet may ship as soon as September, however it’s specs would be on the low end. You can expect a seven-inch screen and the same 800×480 resolution as much smaller phones, along with just 4GB of internal storage.

Freescale is apparently supplying an unnamed ARM processor tied to 512MB of RAM, while Wistron is making the companion Zeus printer, which will have a dock for the Zeen to offload content.
