After announcing that the TouchPad will go on sale on the 1st of July, HP has now also revealed the official pricing for its accessories. The Touchstone charging dock will be priced at $80, the wireless keyboard will be $70, the case will be for $50 and the standard charger will cost you $30.


Along with the pricing, HP has also released a slew of YouTube videos showing the new TouchPad in action, doing stuff like multitasking, web browsing, gaming, typing, etc., you know, the stuff that you would normally do on a tablet along with stuff that is exclusive to the TouchPad, such as the Touchstone technology and wireless charging. Must say though there is a heavy Apple vibe to all the videos. Even the music sounds similar, with the word magic being thrown around a few times.

HP is yet to give any official launch date for their upcoming TouchPad tablet but it seems Amazon could not hold it in any longer and had to tell someone. So what we have here might just be a goof-up or an attempt to keep user interest up in the device.

 

Discovered by an Engadget reader, if you are curious as to when the TouchPad will be launched, all you have to do is type "hp touchpad" in the search field on Amazon and then you get this little ad that bares it all. It seems July 17 is the date when you will officially be able to get your hands on the first WebOS tablet, which is still well over a month from now.

I hope HP has good reasons for this late launch. Honeycomb tablets are not doing particularly well and HP has a chance to get in take the number two slot in the tablet race if they can just hurry up a bit. Meanwhile, those iPad 2 are practically walking out of stores on their own by now.

We get it HP, you have an awesome new tablet at your hands and you think it is going to do really well. But there is no need to go ahead and invent new numbers to describe its future position in the market. So stoked is HP Eric Cador about the upcoming HP TouchPad that in a recent press conference held in Cannes he went on to say:

"In the PC world, with fewer ways of differentiating HP products from our competitors, we became number one; in the tablet world we are going to become better than number one. We call it number one plus."

 

I am sure Apple must be real worried right now. Not because of the TouchPad but because someone invented a new number before them. As for the other tablet manufacturers, we hope they don’t start coming up with their own new numbers.

The HP Veer 4G will be launched, exclusively in the US, on the ATT network and it will set back users $99.9 on a two year contract. It will be available in-stores and online from 15 May.

The Veer 4G will be offered in either black or white color and is the smallest of the WebOS-yielding pack from HP.

On the inside, its powered by a Qualcomm NSN7230 processor, clocked at 800 MHz, with Adreno 205 graphics, a 5 MP fixed-focus snapper, 2.6-inch capacitive touchscreen display and WebOS 2.1.

The HP Veer 4G keeps all those specs inside a minuscule figure of just about a credit card. The 4G at the end of the phone's name stands for HSDPA 14.4 download speeds, not the real LTE stuff.
