A good Option for Tablets,July 31, 2011 ByAmazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)This review is from: HP TouchPad Wi-Fi 32 GB 9.7-Inch Tablet Computer (Personal Computers)Bought this from Amazon, as always got it quick. My back ground is I’ve owned an IPAD and asus windows tablet. After trying them out I was still unsatisfied with the products. It wasn’t providing me what I was looking for. I wanted a tablet with good battery life, good aps, experience the ‘real’ web, do some entertainment (videos, games, music), keep myself connected with social media, and finally do some note taking for work/ everyday things. Looking at the reviews and the advertisements I gave the HP Touchpad a go.
The Breakdown based on a few days exp:
OS: A +
HP OS is probably the highest point in this tablet.
Synergy makes the whole multitasking a breezy and keeps everything in synch. The whole process to get connected with your email, facebook, and calendar is simple.
You can just do lots of things out of the box, no need to go hunting for apps.
No Icons Everywhere in the home screen.
You can browse the WHOLE internet without having black screens because of “missing a plugin”.APPs: B-
HP App market is lacking. You could take in to account that it just launched and will have more coming. If you patient you’ll start seeing new ones every week. From whats available NOW you can manage. There are games and several productivity apps worth checking out.Hardware: B-
This is the weakest thing for me for the Hp Touchpad. Every Tablet in the market right now has : front /back camera, expandable memory slot, hdmi output, and Real USB connections.
HP TP has front camera, max 32 gb memory, and one micro usb connection. WTF… Lacking big time.
If your like me that likes options for inputs/outputs this is a low blow.
Screen for HP TP is great, all the pictures and videos look nice and I think the resolution is fine. The touch response is good too.
Battery is good too. 5-6 hours . If you leave it on all night it will get low on battery. Not much standby power.Price: B-
The majority of tablets are 300-499 range. The 32 gb TP is ~560 bucks in amazon. Hardware wise its not worth that. A little too steep for the competition.Conclusion: HP Touch’s operating system could just be the seller here for people that are in search for something friendly and do real multitasking. Or people that didn’t like android or iOS.
Price and Hardware are big negatives. Probably the best thing is get this when the price drops under 450 or wait for second Generation.
You just got to see what is important to you and what specifically you “need” in a your tablet.For me I might keep this

A tried and true iphone user, blown away.,July 2, 2011 ByKyle –Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)This review is from: HP TouchPad Wi-Fi 32 GB 9.7-Inch Tablet Computer (Personal Computers)I have used an iPhone for going on two years and I don’t see that changing for quite awhile, but I was always leery of the iPad because I always thought it was just a big iPod Touch, with a better screen. Well I started to look for a tablet about 5 months ago, and thought for sure, after the big uproar about the iPad 2, that I would have one soon. Well after trying in store several times, I just wasnt blown away. It just took my iPhone bigger, it didnt introduce anything new, it didn’t change anything, the UI, had some slight modifications, and apps did look better on a bigger screen, but it wasn’t nothing that blew away. Then came the touchpad.
First I saw the commercial, then I found out about the open source movement inside of WebOS, and how unlike Apple, there was no cat and mouse games, Palm didn’t support it, but didn’t block it. I saw the UI, it was much appealing than Android, which to me looks chaotic and not the clean simplicity that we all come to expect from a google product. Although it wasn’t as “nice” looking as iOS, and it didn’t run as smooth as it, WebOS made up for it with true multitasking, and a clean enough looking UI to make an iOS lover happy.
Then came the specs, full web access, web developers no longer need to build a site just for the device, the device can handle anything you through at it. It has been an experience for me, who has had to manage which sites I could view on my portable device and which ones I *had* to view on my pc, now my touchpad takes care of all of it.
But enough about the pros, because there is some cons. Apps are limited compared to iOS (Not a huge con for me, give me a working Twitter client, an email client, and a couple games, and I’m happy, but I’m not everyone). The OS, has some flaws, which may be more to me learning to using the device than anything else, but the flaws are there. It seems sluggish from time to time, but an OTA update coming out soon should fix that. And it does need some improvement when it comes to handling documents, this maybe more of a personal presence but I feel any tablet should be able to handle any microsoft doc you throw at it.
All in all, I love my touchpad, and see me using it more than my iPhone for most things. The flaws are there, but are very fixable, and I have faith in HP to fix them soon.

From a dedicated apple fan… This IS a good device,
I’m an admitted mac guy, I have the iPhone 4, iPad, Macbook Pro, etc…
I have to share my support now with the HP TouchPad. The webOS 3.0 is really pretty amazing. I didn’t think it would make much of a difference in the use of a tablet, but it’s outstanding, and here’s why:
1) The integration of so many mainstream services used today. (they probably have some fancy term for this concept)
2) Flash plays well
3) Services missing on the iPad like Grooveshark and Amazon’s cloud music all work.
First, the services:
On my TouchPad, I setup my
Email (yahoo, google, and microsoft exchange)
Skype
Dropbox
AIM
LinkedIn
Facebook
(there were others, but I don’t use snapfish, and photobucket, etc… even a “find others”)
I love this integration of all these mainstream services! It’s really clever.
While my iPad seems very app-centric, webOS 3.0 feels more like “the matrix has you”. It takes your online world and puts it into the tablet. I love that. All of those websites I often interact with get glued together seamlessly so I feel like I’m “jacked in”.
A major strength of the TouchPad is the web functionality that won’t work on the iPad. For example, I ran Amazon’s cloud music player and Grooveshark just fine (awesome!).
On the down side, the apps are slim, but trust me, they will be coming fast and furious over the next year, like a modern-age gold rush. As someone who has ported over my C++ game engine and product ( atPeace ) to TouchPad from IOS, I can tell you that it was pretty easy, and others will certainly follow. This version 1 of the product is the closest any tablet is to competing with Apple, developers will soon be pouring over.
My only real gripe is not having NetFlix working with it yet. That’s coming I’m sure, but something I use on my iPad a lot, and I miss.
All in all, I’d say if you want something for business, or to have a tablet built around your online presence, or just a good tablet which can run flash, this might be for you. I still love my iPad, don’t get me wrong, but for a long time I didn’t see why anyone was realistically imagining they could compete with the iPad. I mean, Apple does it sooooo well. Well, now I understand why. WebOS 3.0.
Don’t discount this device, it’s got great potential. We finally a good competitor for Apple in the tablet world, which should make both products improve.
