This All-in-One can print, scan, copy, and connect to the Web, allowing you to do it all. It will print black-and-white and color documents at 30ppm and 25ppm. The HP Envy 100 All-in-One will be launched on October 4th, 2010 for $249.

Posted in HP by Conner Flynn on September 8th, 2010

Looks like we now have some pictures of HP’s 7-inch Zeen C510 Android-powered tablet. The stock Android user interface has been removed in favor of HP’s TouchSmart UI and there’s no sign of the Gmail app or Android Market, though an email client is included, along with Yahoo services like Mail and Messenger. Facebook is also onboard.

Nook compatibility should also be included since the Barnes & Noble logo was spotted. The Zeen C510 tablet might show up as early as late September, and it also might be priced at $399.

Posted in HP by Shane McGlaun on September 1st, 2010

HP has announced several new computers today including the Mini 210 series. This machine comes in a variety of colors and has the size and performance that mobile types want when on the go for general computing tasks.

The little netbook has a 10.1-inch screen that is LED backlit and supports 720p resolution. The machine can be optioned with the new Intel dual core N550 Atom processor or the older N455 processor. The machine runs Windows 7 Starter or Home Premium.

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.

HP eStation Zeen spotted by the FCC

Posted in HP by Conner Flynn on August 5th, 2010

Look what the FCC recently got a look at. The eStation Zeen just might be the mystery tablet to be released by HP soon. It’s been about eight months since HP filed for the “Zeen” trademark on a “portable handheld device”, and then there’s their recent buyout of Palm as well, so it looks like this is it.

This tablet should compete nicely with the rest of the tablets on the market. We know that it will have Wi-Fi N connectivity, but that’s about all we do know at the moment thanks to a short-term confidentiality request until December 31st.

HP Android tablet launch postponed

Posted in HP by Shane McGlaun on July 15th, 2010

If you had your heart set on a new tablet from HP running the Android OS, we have bad news for you. The tablet was expected to land in Q4 2010, but reports are coming in that say the project has been postponed.

AllThingsD reports that sources have told it that the launch has been postponed and there are no hints on exactly how long the postponing will last. Considering Android and WebOS, which HP paid a pretty penny for, are direct competitors the move is not surprising.

Major WebOS developer leaves Palm for Apple

Posted in Apple by Shane McGlaun on June 9th, 2010

The iPhone is on a completely different level from the Palm Pre in terms of popularity and sales. Still, there are a few things that I don’t like about the iPhone that the Pre does better. The most obvious is the way webOS handles notifications that let you keep working while the iPhone makes you stop and tend to the notification.

The man who designed the notification system in webOS has left Palm and landed at Apple. We can only hope that his first job will be to revamp the notification system the iPhone uses into something that works better.

HP set to offer printers with email addresses

Posted in HP by Shane McGlaun on June 7th, 2010

HP purchased Palm not too long ago as a way to get its hands on webOS. Shortly after the purchase was finished, we learned that HP had bigger plans than smartphones for webOS with an eye towards devices like web connected printers and tablets.

I thought webOS in a printer sounded weird at first. The New York Times reports today that HP will have a new line of web-connected printers that will have their own email addresses. I would bet several of these will be running webOS.
