HP Veer 4G

The first device to come out of of the HP Palm merger goes on sale Sunday. The HP Veer is small but, the Wall Street Journal's Katie Boehret said, the phone's operating system is really what sets it apart.

"WebOS lets you really multi-task," she said. "You can very easily see all of your programs running at the same time. It plays Flash in the browser, which is something that Apple's operating system does not do . . . and webOS is really just designer focused.

"It's smooth, it's pleasing to use, it doesn't feel geeky," Boehret said.

The Veer costs about $100.
