Veer available May 15th

AT&T announced today the availability of the HP Veer. Veer is world smallest 4G smartphone. It runs a full webOS -- and it is so cool.




We've been working really hard to make it happen. I want to publicly thank my team and everybody else who made this happen. A lot of planning, design, implementation, bug scraping, blood, sweat, and even some tears. Go to an AT&T store to see why!

I joined the HP / Palm team in November. So this is the first HP/Palm product for me! I was really impressed to see the dedication and passion within the team. It became very clear to me that even though this is not the easiest team to lead, this is most passionate and talented group of people. A lot of action going on.

As announced earlier, we will have more products coming out. We are thus engaging with developers every day. We run workshops and distribute SDKs and other tools. We are polishing webOS , and doing our best to make sure developers have the best possible tools and the latest know-how from our engineering on how to develop applications and services on webOS. In addition to the core webOS team, developers all over the world are a key source of innovation and drive. Add that team seems to be very passionate about webOS, too.

So, a lot of hard work, emotions, drive -- and a very nice webOS phone -- the HP Veer!
