HP’s webOS tablet is coming soon, and a new leak provides a more intimate look at the device. According to a leaked spec sheet, the Topaz, as it’s called, will boast a 1.2 GHz dual-core Qualcomm MSM8660 with built-in Adreno 220 GPU. That package is expected to deliver 1080p video support and integrated GPS.

The model shown sports a 9.7-inch screen with 1024 x 768 resolution, 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera,  Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, 512MB of DDR2 RAM, two ‘Beats’ audio-branded speakers and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n. The tablet will also get Touchstone inductive charging capabilities. A new version of Touchstone–Touchstone v2–will enable tap-to-share functionality for actions like photo sharing, website sharing, audio streaming and wireless printing. All your favorite sensors–accelerometer, eCompass, Gyro and light sensor–are also present.

It looks like when Steve Jobs emailed an Apple iPhone owner that he should avoid holding his phone in a certain way to boost reception, he was following Apple’s official protocol. A leaked internal document obtained by Boy Genius Report today shows a whole list that Apple customer service reps are to follow when attempting to diffuse angered iPhone 4 owners complaining about reception problems. Seeing as how ridiculous the problem with Apple’s external antenna is, it’s a real pile of BS. Thanks to BGR for digging it up and leaking it out.

The best part is the big emphasis on not offering up free bumpers. Make a product all but defective and then charge money for the fix. Stay classy Apple.

‘Incredible’ is a pretty presumptuous name for a cell phone, but for Android fans, HTC’s latest handset-in-the-leaking may just live up to it.
