The internet’s been hot with rumours of a Samsung purchase of WebOS – or perhaps them licencing the mobile OS from HP. Any hope for Palm’s creation resting with Samsung is lost now, however, as Samsung’s CEO says that Samsung would “never” work toward a deal to use WebOS. There’s clearly too much going on [...]
In a devastating announcement last week, HP confirmed they will no longer be developing WebOS or making supporting devices.

We had a teaser, we had a leak, now we have an official announcement. Asus have officially unveiled the Padfone – the tablet that docks a smartphone, or a smartphone that docks into a tablet.

Around a year behind the US, and a decade behind Japan, the UK finally has some form of NFC payment system.

You may remember the leaked info on Motorola’s Droid X2 from last night: dual core 1GHz Snapdragon, HDMI out, and a 4.3″ qHD (960 x 540) resolution.
