webOS 2.0 coming ‘later this year,’ says HP’s Rubinstein

HP’s Jon Rubinstein — formerly of Palm CEO fame, of course — just mentioned in an interview with Fortune that webOS 2.0 is on track for “later this year.” Considering that 2010 is more than half over, that doesn’t leave a whole heck of a lot of time — but with a mix of presumed kick-ass HP hardware in the pipeline running webOS, we imagine this should all dovetail nicely. On a related note, Rubinstein again drove home the point that they’re developing new hardware “aggressively,” so let’s hope we finally see a Pre 2, a Palmpad, or heck, a frickin’ LifeDrive 2 in the next few months.

HP CEO: Palm could end up a ‘sub-brand’ of the company

Given the way HP has treated acquisitions like VoodooPC and Compaq, this should come as no surprise — but CEO Mark Hurd is at it again with comments about his company’s recent Palm acquisition to German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine, saying that the brand could “move into the background” and become a “sub-brand,” ostensibly the same as Envy and iPAQ (he gives Pavilion as a specific example). From a marketing alignment perspective, that makes sense — though it assumes that the HP brand is stronger than Palm’s in the target demographics that they’re looking to sell into. Is that a safe assumption, especially considering how iPAQ withered on the vine? Hard to say.

iPhone ‘End Call’ sticker is an ironic solution to your reception problem

Not sold on those iPhone Antenna-aid bandages? Fret not, as we’ve got a whole ‘nother round of laughs coming your way. What started as a concept has landed on Etsy as a buyable product: the ‘End Call’ vinyl sticker. As you’d expect, you simply place this guy over the iPhone 4′s “weak spot” and then press it whenever you’d like to conveniently drop whatever call you’re on. The only problem? This $4 add-on actually won’t accomplish what it says in plain English.
