HP Touch To Share. Turn on the Near Field Communication (NFC) radio in the laptop :
Touch to Share means that you could be checking out something on your phone – say directions – just place your phone near the laptop and the NFC function transfers that data between devices.


 GizmoGladstone says on his article A quick look at HP ENVY 14 Spectre here

  " Something I stumbled across as I was sifting through the MSCONFIG’s Startup tab for this machine: HP Touch To Share. Turn on the Near Field Communication (NFC) radio in the laptop and you can link this with an Android phone that has the app installed. (Sorry, I only had a Pre3 on me – what can I say? I’m stubborn. ;p) For those unfamiliar with the concept, Touch to Share means that you could be checking out something on your phone – say directions – just place your phone near the laptop and the NFC function transfers that data between devices. Needless to say it’s a neat feature I hope to test when I have more time. And when I have the right phone. Another thing I spotted in the MSCONFIG: HP’s Wireless Audio Manager (for streaming to Kleer Audio-enabled devices)." http://www.smsc.com/index.php?tid=290

And posted the picture below, where you can see an AT&T webOs Pre3 on the HP ENVY 14 Spectre:

 Is the first time I have read about TOUCH TO SHARE between a webos smartphone and a HP laptop, but with the HP TouchPad before. Seems fantastic. Don´t you think?


UPDATE: Pre3 uses proprietary non-NFC tech. the laptop uses NFC. not compatible at all

HP Unveils Extraordinary Glass Design in New HP ENVY 14 Spectre.

Newest member of ENVY portfolio defies conventional notebook design.

PALO ALTO, Calif., Jan. 9, 2012

---

HP today revealed the HP ENVY 14 Spectre, a premium consumer Ultrabook PC that commands attention with its unparalleled use of glass and stunning performance.

Tough yet beautiful, the HP ENVY 14 Spectre uses lightweight, scratch-resistant glass on the lid, display, palmrest and HP ImagePad – an industry first. A full 14-inch screen inside a 13.3-inch body means customers can get more enjoyment from their entertainment. The HP Spectre joins the award-winning ENVY portfolio, alongside the recently introduced HP ENVY 15 and HP ENVY 17.

“Sleek, midnight black glass on the outside and stark contrast silver glass on the inside make Spectre extraordinary, defying conventional notebook design,” said Eric Keshin, senior vice president, Strategy and Marketing, Personal Systems Group, HP. “We chose the Spectre name to evoke mystery, and we packed it with the best in entertainment technology to satisfy those who expect the unexpected.”

HP expanded its ENVY portfolio with the HP ENVY 14 Spectre, a premium consumer 

Ultrabook PC that commands attention with its unparalleled use of glass and stunning 

performance.

The HP Spectre’s high-definition (HD)⁽¹⁾ HP Radiance Display offers some of the industry’s highest resolution and richest color for better brightness and wider viewing angles than traditional notebook displays.

Equipped with a matching audio-grade speaker mesh and Beats Audio™, an exclusive, high-performance technology developed by HP and Beats by Dr. Dre, the HP Spectre boasts an aluminum analog volume dial that acts as a visual design cue and works seamlessly with Beats Audio Manager to precisely adjust audio levels.

Built-in HP Wireless Audio turns any home into a concert hall, allowing users to stream uncompressed audio to up to four external devices or directly to any KleerNet™-compatible device.

An HP Radiance Backlit keyboard provides outstanding illumination using individual LEDs dedicated to each keycap. The keyboard works with an advanced proximity sensor to intelligently sense a user’s presence, lighting up when a user approaches and dimming down after he or she leaves.

Uncompromising performance

                   

The HP ENVY 14 Spectre is blazingly fast, 

stunningly sleek and boasts up to 9 hours of 

battery life.

Eliminating the need for external dongles, the HP Spectre features a full array of advanced input and output options, including Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0, HDMI and Mini DisplayPort.

Additionally, the HP Spectre offers a performance-tuned software image, full versions of Adobe Photoshop® Elements 10 and Adobe Premiere Elements 10, two years of preinstalled Norton™ Internet Security⁽⁶⁾ and a concierge phone line for technical support that is dedicated exclusively to HP ENVY users.
