According to a purported roadmap image obtained by PreCentral, HP will introduce a new 64GB version of its TouchPad this August alongside a 4G model on AT&T. The 64GB model will apparently offer a “glossy white” finish and could come equipped with a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor that’s clocked at 1.5GHz. AT&T’s 4G TouchPad is expected to come in a black finish and will offer support for the carrier’s HSPA+ network, but will maintain the 32GB capacity of the Wi-F...

Several newly uncovered trademark filings could indicate possible names for HP’s upcoming webOS tablets. The trademark filings, which were revealed today, include “HP Duopad,” “HP Touchcanvas” and “HP Touchslate.” Earlier trademarks suggest that one of HP’s tablets could also be named “HP Touchpad.” HP is holding a press event early next month where it is expected to unveil multiple new tablet devices. An upcoming tablet codenamed Topaz is expected t...

Lookie what we have here… The little the phone that never goes away quits. The less than impressive HTC Opal landed in the hands of the FCC this week showing off its 850/1900 GSM support and not so blazing EDGE capabilities. After the HTC Touch HD was canceled for North America, we were hoping to see something a bit more exciting than the underpowered HTC Opal but it looks like we have to take what we can get. We’re still not sure who fell asleep at the wheel on this one – are any of you gu...

Somebody definitely spilled something over at the HTC labs. No, the image above is not a 1989 Ford Mustang rolling around the Jersey shore. It is in fact the first live shot of the upcoming HTC Opal – the phone we all hoped was killed on the drawing board. Carrying specs that are basically identical to the HTC Touch, the Opal is basically the exact opposite of the other leaked HTC handset making the rounds right now, the HTC Touch HD. The only real differences we can come up with are the rubber band wra...

If the Opal is indeed set to be the successor to the HTC Touch’s throne, we are definitely looking at a Raúl vs. Fidel situation here. Seriously fellas, it looks like you just wrapped a rubber band around a Touch. Ok, lets not get crazy here. Once you get through the thick candy shell there must be a world of difference when it comes to the guts, right? A beefed up processor perhaps? Nope, same old 200 MHz TI OMAP 850 found in the Touch. Hmm, then we must be looking at a sweet new display on this puppy...
