HP Touchpad: Looks good but slow in work

The 740 gm tabblet from HP combines a designer interface with a sparkling new OS but fails to deliver on speed and apps wisdom. Top reviewers claims HP still has a long way to go.

Well, the wishes have finally been realised in the HP TouchPad, a 9.7-inch tablet running webOS 3.0. It's powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor, with 16GB or 32GB of storage. It comes in at £399 for the 16GB version and £479 for the 32GB model – a pound-for-pound match with the equivalent iPad models.

However, the TouchPad has a few tricks up its sleeve that separate it from the iPad. It's got support for Adobe Flash built in, a standard USB connector for charging or connecting to your computer, Beats Audio-powered stereo speakers and wireless charging using HP's Touchstone technology. The latter of these also allows you to simply touch the soon-to-be-released Pre 3 against the TouchPad to transfer websites back and forth between them.

Physically, the TouchPad doesn't stray far from the mould set by the iPad and adopted by the rest of the tablet world. An all-black glass front houses the 9.7-inch multi-touch screen, which has a resolution of 1024 x 768. Above it (in portrait) is a 1.3MP front-facing camera. There's no rear camera on the TouchPad.

After HP announced that it will be shutting down all it’s WebOS operations and it’s PC manufacturing business, the company has now announced a price cut in it’s tablets – the TouchPad, just before getting them down from the shelves in stores in various countries across the world.
