Hewlett Packard is apparently set to rejoin the smartphone market that left in 2011 with the launch of two low-cost devices ' phablet '.
Even more surprisingly, those two devices well could be launched by the end of 2013.
According to sources of information, HP has built affordable smartphone 6 and 7 inches, which will launch in developing markets such as India, China and the Philippines, before 2013 comes to an end.
These devices will be sold at between $ 200 and $ 250-or between £122 and £153, in UK money.
This year has already seen HP hitting the market with a 7-inch Android tablet, the HP Slate 7. Has also recently (and silently) launched 10 HP Omni, a 10-inch tablet Windows 8.1 based.
Meanwhile, in the last year or so, HP's CEO Meg Whitman has made noises about the company's intention to reintegrate into the smartphone market with a range of Android-based phones.
However, recently as July Whitman argued that such smartphone plans wouldn't see the fruition "in the short and medium term."
HP has abandoned his previous plans when webOS smartphone, the pioneering mobile operating system it inherited when it bought Palm back in 2010, failed to take possession in an iPhone and a market dominated by Android.
This despite the fact that webOS has proved to be extremely influential in his treatment of multitasking and an emphasis on online services.
With the new year just over a week away, HP does not have much time if he wants to make his return low-key in 2013 smartphone.
