Philips's first Tablet PC exclusive exposure plan by June

It's rumored to be launching soon,

Supposedly hitting shelves in June.

Instead of picking Honeycomb,

Philips decided to go it on its own.

Underneath its skin you'll find Gingerbread,

We'd prefer an "entirely for tablet" OS instead.

There's a front facing camera for video chat

And a "drawing area" -- imagine that!

It's got a 7-inch screen and microSD,

As for price and processor it's wait and see.

HTC's 10-inch 'Puccini' Honeycomb tablet still rumored for summer release

What would a morning be without a little injection of rumorjuice courtesy of DigiTimes? Today's tattle has HTC's 10.1-inch LTE "Puccini" tablet hitting mass production in June with AU Optronics and Wintek pegged as the touch panel suppliers. Other specs, like the 1.5GHz MSM8660 processor and Android 3.0.1 build, seem to have been culled from that 911sniper leak which DigiTimes graciously cites as "sources in the supply chain." Of course, the June date has been tossed around before by DigiTimes but it's good to hear it again so close to the 10-incher's rumored summer release.

HP TouchPad to be priced $599 at Walmart, accessories to burn further holes in your wallet

HP’s upcoming WebOS tablet is still some way from gracing the shelves of your favorite electronics stores but we got a whiff of the kind of price it will be selling for. The guys over at PreCentral.net have uncovered the Walmart price of the TouchPad and it is going to be $599 for the 32GB Wi-Fi-only model, same as the similarly specced Apple iPad 2.

If you remember, HP also showcased three accessories for the TouchPad and we have the prices for them as well. The TouchStone, a wireless charging station, which uses inductive charging and also functions as a stand, will be priced at $79.88. The Bluetooth wireless keyboard will be priced at $69.88 and the official case from HP will be priced at $49.88. The accessories are bit on the expensive side and HP is no doubt hoping they can get away with it the way Apple does.

PreCentral.net reports Walmart could have the TouchPad in as early as the 1st of July if it reaches their distribution centers by next week.
