As such, an updated emulator is available, along with supporting documentation that is due to go live this week for Early Access program members.

At the same time, HP noted in the message that it will soon make the App Catalog available in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Singapore for the first time.

The Pre3 will replace the Pre2 and sports a new 3.6-inch, 480x800 display as well as a front-facing camera for video chat. A 1.4GHz, single-core Snapdragon processor is inside, as is 3G using HSPA+ or EVDO Revision A depending on the network. The keyboard was also redesigned to make typing easier for larger fingers.
