Looks like those whispers we heard about HP's Topaz having a 1.2GHz
Qualcomm CPU were true. The folks over at Pre Central just scored an
internal document detailing presumed specifications of HP's
forthcoming 9.7-inch Topaz tablet, and it looks like the aforesaid CPU
will be joined by an integrated Adreno 220 GPU, 512MB of DDR2 memory,
Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, a front-facing 1.3 megapixel camera and dual-band
802.11b/g/n WiFi. We're told to expect an oleophobic Gorilla Glass
screen with a standard XGA (1024 x 768) resolution, options for 16GB,
32GB or 64GB of storage, optional WWAN, an accelerometer, gyroscope,
light sensor, microphone and a battery that'll last for around eight
hours in ideal circumstances. Naturally, webOS will be onboard, and
we're hearing that a WiFi-only model will indeed hit the market at
some point. As for the connected versions? HSPA, LTE and CDMA variants
are rumored, with the former two likely to be SIM-locked while all
three to carry A-GPS.

It should be noted that these documents were apparently fresh as of
last fall, so everything is clearly subject to change. That said,
we're digging the reports that HP will be doing everything it can to
fully support Flash on this here slate, and it may also consider a
partnership with Blio for the digital bookworms in attendance.
Naturally, cloud services is shaping up to be a huge deal, and it'll
definitely support inductive charging via the Touchstone v2. These
docs also affirm what we'd heard about Tap to Share, with the second-
gen Touchstone to also handle wireless picture sharing, cordless audio
streaming and tether-free video beaming (just to name a few). Hit the
source link the full skinny, and feel free to pressure HP to move
February 9th a little closer to today.
