HP Veer requires tiny magnetic connector for a 3.5mm audio jack

Published

on

Small phones are generally cute and slip into pockets easily, but there are times when a phone is too small that it becomes a nuisance. You might not have noticed it before, but the tiny HP Veer was so small that it didn’t feature a microUSB port or 3.5mm headphone jack, possibly due to space constraints. In order to solve that issue and allow users to use a headset, you’ll need to attach a small low-profile magnetic five-pin connector to get the 3.5mm audio jack, and the same goes for the USB connector. Of course, this raises additional questions, such as whether the magnet is strong enough to keep the audio jack stuck to the phone while we’re walking around, and how convenient it will be to keep such a tiny accessory in our pockets without losing it.

hp-phone-leakHow does a HP branded smartphone sound to you? I am quite sure that those of us out there who are more concerned about reliability might prefer a brand name that has fared far better than HP in the smartphone industry, such as the likes of Samsung, Apple, Nokia or LG. Well, if you love rooting for the underdog always, and want to give something different a try, HP might have just the thing for you.

An alleged HP smartphone was leaked out earlier this week, and it certainly seemed to jive with what HP Senior Director Yam Su Yin mentioned earlier this month, that HP intends to make a return to the smartphone business by introducing a unique model. The executive was even quoted, that “HP has to be in the game.” Do you think you will pick up a HP branded smartphone when the time comes?

HP Slatebook 10 X2 Rumors Appear

Published

hp-slatebook-10HP could be working on a spanking new high end Android-powered tablet which they have seen fit to call the HP SlateBook 10 X2. Of course, this is a particularly new piece of tech which was first picked up by the good people over at TabTech of Germany, courtesy of an AnTuTu benchmark. The HP SlateBook 10 X2 does seem to come with a 10” display of unknown resolution count, where it will be accompanied by a quad-core Nvidia Tegra 4 processor that has been clocked at 1.8GHz, and Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean in tow.

No idea on pricing or availability of the HP SlateBook 10 X2 though, but then again, it would not be the first of such devices to be announced by what was once a major computer manufacturing force in the world, since we have been acquainted with the Windows 8-powered HP Envy X2 before this. We do, however, hope to hear and see more about the HP SlateBook 10 X2 in due time.
