If you have been tracking news from the HP stables, this one is more than enough to excite you big time. The company is ready with the latest smartphone from its assembly line, and it does indeed hold some promise. The new HP Bender could well be seen as a result of HP’s hesitation to stand by Windows RT and a Microsoft partnership.

The Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich powered HP Bender smartphone had some time ago appeared in a leak , if you would remember. We now hear the device is ready and would come carrying a dual core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor on board.

It is expected that HP’s Palm design will be re-used, since it had a lot of potential. If all goes well, we could expect the OS being updated to Jelly Bean at launch.The resolution can be pegged at 1366 x 720 pixels. It also packs 1 GB of RAM, an 8 megapixel camera and some unique HP apps to stand apart in the competition.

This could be a pretty rival for the Galaxy Note II too. We just have to wait to hear from HP on a possible launch date and of course the pricing of the Bender.
