When HP announced last month that it would open-source webOS, the outfit seemed mighty pleased (and relieved) to have finally made a definitive decision regarding the fate of its $1.2 billion software experiment. In fact, though, the company’s initial announcement was light on detail, other than the fact that webOS will live on with the help of developers both inside and outside HP.

The towering cultural colossus that is Justin Bieber giveth, yet he must also taketh away. Merely days after appearing as the pitchman for dancing crotch-speaker robot Tosy mRobo , the last tech-product he was tasked with selling might have been quietly put to sleep behind Sony’s barn. The Dash was a pseudo-tablet powered by Chumby OS that, perhaps inexplicably, never caught on, angering the floppy-haired Canadian infant

We already had the deep-dish on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 development platform during our on-stage pow-wow with the company’s Rob Chandok but we wanted to get some extra time with the device. The MSM8960 is a developer tablet: which means it’ll never retail and it’s packing some serious kit including a dual-core 1.5GHz CPU, 13-megapixel cameras on both side and Qualcomm’s beefy LTE gear inside
