Powered by a dual-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon CPU, the TouchPad is a fresh take on the tablet paradigm, [...]

One of the tiniest smartphones in recent history has made an appearance here at MWC – we’re of course talking about the HP Veer, the upcoming webOS-powered smartphone introduced hand-in-hand with the HP Pre 3 and HP TouchPad a couple weeks ago.
Honestly, the Veer is one of the smallest handsets you’ll be able to [...]

Back in the day, the original Palm Pre was an iconic device despite its delayed launch and Palm’s funding problems. WebOS undeniably has one of the most original concepts for a platform with the card-based webOS, but the Pre seemed to be always plagued with problems and the most important one of them is the [...]

Sure, we’ve given you the full work-up on webOS 2.0 already and we did it based on the OS running on a Palm Pre 2, but that was a pre-production unit and so we couldn’t really get into how the hardware felt. However after today’s Oprah Moment at Developer Day we now have a full production unlocked GSM Palm Pre 2 in hand.
No, it’s not the Palm Pre 2 hacked onto Sprint, instead it’s the standard North American version, unlocked with support for 3G on AT&T’s bands (or EDGE-only on T-Mobile). It’s available now for $450 to regular folks and $250 to developers.
Read on for some very quick first impressions and, of course, a photo gallery!

With almost a year and a half under its belt, the once fresh and relevant Palm Pre is clearly beginning to show off its age as we’ve seen it slowly becoming more of a distant memory than anything else.

Back at CES in January, Palm surprised us all with a brand new, unleaked smartphone: something everybody realized could take on the iPhone 3G and hold its own. In the five months following, the Pre has wowed journalists, started rumors and yes, inspired websites. Now, though, the hard part begins: can the Pre [...]

We already knew that the Palm Pre has been sitting in Sprint Stores for a little while now. We assumed that we knew that Sprint employees wouldn’t be able to help giving us some hands-on video and photos of the little guy. True to form, we have the above from skrilla1987. We’ll forgive you for calling it a "Treo Pre" – but mainly because we’re glad to see the camera in action there at the end of the video.
Thanks to everybody who sent this in!

According to BGR, although the Pre feels good in the hand, it has a “plasticky” feel. [...]

Boy Genius Report is claiming to be the first blog to be able to write about their experiences with the Pre. I’m not sure if they’re under NDA, violating it, or what, but they’ve got it and are currently manhandling our beautiful device. So far, their impressions are that if feels good in your hands, [...]
