HP Introduced webOS Smartphone Veer

HP today introduced the powerfully small HP Veer smartphone running HP webOS. Veer is the smallest webOS phone to date – the size of a credit card and no thicker than a deck of cards – yet it offers the higher-end features of a smartphone, such as easy messaging and access to apps, social networks and the web, including support for Adobe Flash Player 10.1 beta in the browser for access to rich, Flash-based web content.
