HP has launched a redesigned Pavilion dm3, the notebook PC which was introduced last year. The HP Pavilion dm3, which weighs just 3.99 pounds and measures less than 1-inch in thickness, features HP’s innovative CoolSense technology for better heat management.The 13.3-inch notebook uses a combination of plastic, glass and soft-touch paint on the outside, and metals that are used strategically on the inside to keep heat away from the hands and lap.The air vents are repositioned which helps in blowing the air away from the laptop instead of toward the device, which is what happens

The Head of HP’s Palm Division Jon Rubinstein, who was earlier the CEO of Palm Inc, has said in an interview to Fortune magazine that the company will release version 2.0 of its operating software called webOS, later this year.As it is already July and there are only 5 months left for the year to end, the news of a webOS 2.0 release has led to rumors of the release of an HP PalmPad tablet device or a Pre 2 smartphone by the end of the year as well. Rubinstein has himself said in the interview that the company is aggressively developing the hardware that will run on the webOS 2.0

The webOS-based tablet device to be launched by HP, after its acquisition of Palm Inc earlier this year, will be called “PalmPad”, according to a USPTO trademark application filed by the company on July 9.HP was earlier rumored to be working on a tablet running on the webOS platform, which was then rumored to be called “Hurricane”. However, it is not clear if the PalmPad is a new name for the Hurricane or whether it is a completely different tablet device.Theoretically, the PalmPad tablet device could become available for sale in stores by the end of this year. However,

Oh well, it was good while it lasted (for a rumor, that is) – the Android tablet that HP were allegedly working on has been canceled for now. If you consider the other events that have been surrounding the company, such as the acquisition of Palm as well as the desire to develop a tablet based on the WebOS, this is probably a pretty good indication that the tablet will never happen at all.According to the information that we’ve seen, the tablet has been stated to just “not be coming out until the end of the year as it was planned” – while it

Most of you probably consider the HP Slate a dead project by now, as most rumors have been pointing to this lately. However, there have been some recent developments that may indicate that the device is far from dead and is “slated” to make it on the market eventually. One of these has been a certain page on HP’s website, which gives some details about the upcoming device.The page discusses the device calling it the “HP Slate 500″, and mentions Windows 7 Premium and a 8.9″ screen among other things. Also, the device will feature full Internet

HP has plans to unveil a webOS tablet within the first three months of 2011. HP was responding to a question about whether or not iPads were hurting their netbook sales. HP confirmed that the tablet would arrive in early 2011 and that the Windows 7 OS Slate for enterprise would arrive in the near future.Based on the company’s webOS, which it acquired along with the rest of Palm three months ago, the new device from the world’s largest computer maker is expected to be called the PalmPad.  Before it was acquired by HP, Palm was regularly holding product launches at the annual

Here’s some interesting stuff from the HP stables. The computer maker seems to have been waiting for the launch of NVIDIA’s Quadro 5000M, the new Pro graphics solution. The hardware was unveiled only yesterday and the HP 17-inch EliteBook incorporated it under its hood.The computer maker is, in fact, the first to get this. The 5000M solution is being lined up for the 8740w EliteBook, promising to usher in 320 CUDA cores and a huge 2GB of dedicated memory in its performance. NVIDIA’s Quadro graphics processing units arrive based on Fermi architecture. It also boasts of

Phil McKinney of HP made an interesting presentation at MobileBeat today, introducing a new product by the company, which makes it possible to create a display that can flex and bend in all directions. The new display, which is based on Mylar-infused sheets (which is basically the technology used in solar panels), is actually bistable much like the lately-famous E-Ink; this means that it can display images without requiring power.What this might see applications in? Well, we’ll let your imagination run free here – but picture things like a webOS device that you can

Palm did a vanishing act today when the Palm Pre Plus suddenly disappeared from both Verizon and AT&T online stores. The device eventually appeared back on the Verizon’s website with an ‘out of stock’ status still remaining. Palm, which is now owned by HP, and both the online stores have not given out a comment on the matter.The Palm Pre Plus was launched in January but had struggled with the sales. But it had enough sales to let Verizon and AT&T stock the phone. HP had purchased the company with the hopes of integrating the Web OS platform in the new HP products
