There are some rumors from certain online sources that claim that there is this latest smartphone coming soon from HP. The device, supposedly called the iPAQ K3 Obsidian, will have a 2.46” QVGA resolution AMOLED display, 3.2MP camera, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, GPS, microSD slot and micro USB as well.
Additionally, this device will reportedly be powered by a 528MHz CPU with 256MB RAM. Nothing overly fantastic about the above specs, but you never know – this may turn out to be quite a smasher if it comes into the market like it is rumored to.

HP and Research In Motion (RIM) today announced at a press release that they will be establishing a strategic alliance aimed at delivering a portfolio of solutions for business mobility on the BlackBerry platform. At this year’s Wireless Enterprise Symposium in Orlando, Fla., HP will be demonstrating two new solutions – HP CloudPrint for BlackBerry smartphones and HP Operations Manager for BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
HP CloudPrint for BlackBerry smartphones is a web services based solution that allows users to print emails, documents, photos and web pages using a BlackBerry smartphone, even while on the go. The CloudPrint service enables mobile users to easily print to the nearest printer, no matter where their current location is. The service is printer-agnostic and driverless and requires simple Internet access. HP and RIM plan to make CloudPrint available to BlackBerry Internet Service subscribers as well as BlackBerry Enterprise Server customers.
HP also is introducing software to centrally monitor and manage the extended BlackBerry solution ecosystem, whether it is virtual or physical. This ecosystem includes the BlackBerry Enterprise Server software, mail servers, databases, Microsoft Active Directory and server operating systems such as Windows Server. Plans also include extending the capabilities of the monitoring solution to provide an end-to-end view of enterprise applications running on the BlackBerry platform.
HP Operations Manager for BlackBerry Enterprise Server correlates events from each part of the mobile ecosystem to help customers pinpoint potential issues and take corrective actions to remediate them. This single console reduces costs associated with monitoring multiple consoles and provides customers with a consolidated view into events, enabling them to manage performance and deliver optimal service levels for BlackBerry messaging services.

HP today announced new technology to develop a flexible plastic display prototype, which uses far less energy reserves and is also much more cost-effective than most other displays available today. Developed along with Arizona State’s FTC (Flexible Display Center), this material is said to be “unbreakable”, using 90% lesser raw materials, while also ‘going green’, as it is that much more environmentally friendly.
This particular display appears similar to paper and employs what is known as self-aligned imprint lithography or SAIL. The process sees to it that the patterning information uses a technique of perfect alignment on the substrate, irrespective of process-induced distortion.
The SAIL, HP says, would be a “more sustainable, environmentally sensitive approach to producing electronic displays.” HP has not yet stated how soon in the future this technology would be used to make products such as mobile phones and laptops, but expects that this product will be a complete sell-out when it eventually enters the markets.
