I am going to stick with an iPad, although I have talked myself into waiting for an iPad 3 since they are rumored to come out in September. I am still a bit ticked that you can't get flash on an iOS device though. Come on Steve Jobs, I need to be able to use Flash on my iPhone and I am not going to get an iPad until I am able to.
@IIIKrazyKiDDIII yeah. I have an iPhone 4 and a TouchPad and the touchpad does feel like what a tablet should be, something you can have fun with but still get REAL work done. The only thing I dont like about WebOS in general is the lack of apps, but its understandable. Hopefully HP leases webOS to other companies so that its more attractive to developers.
Wow, great review Soldier. Very well executed, you didn't mess up once! Anyways, this has been the best HP TouchPad Review I had. Different from the other reviews, you gave us YOUR honest opinion.
@korwinblue right... but arn't desktops just larger laptops? If somehow you were to take 100% of the power and functionality of a laptop and move it to the size of a phone no doubt it would be useless. Size matters alot in this case.
Which android tablet are you talking about?If you see know android tablets are know preety good thanks to android 3.0.I think android tablets is way better than this.
This tablet was just a fail in my opinion. It is so slow compared to all of the other tablets out there today and speed is what everybody likes to have in a tablet. The only good thing about this tablet in my opinion is the beats audio.
Gahh it looks just like an iPhone 3G. If you want to even get close to Apple's sales, HP (and other competitors), start getting creative and innovative...so tired of copycats.
Thumbs up if you think the back of the HP Touchpad has an exact logo placement and similar information and placement on the bottom, just like the iPad. Stop it, copycats!
I think this pad will actually do well for the corporate environment. I don't know that the casual user will love it. --- Sent From SoldierKnowsBest's AppRats (Facebook App)!
@ psp785 in no way does the xoom beat the ipad2 1st of all the android market & OS suck 2nd the ipad runs smoother & faster looks better performs better doesnt have the speaker facing away from u. the truth is the xoom is very weak
The HP Touchpad is at best a mediocre alternative to the iPad 1 or 2. WebOS is glitchy and doesn't take efficient advantage of the hardware it runs on. I don't see anyone catching up to the polished and refined iPad and IOS anytime soon.
@aimankelapa its the simplest, you give it to a homeless guy and he will just reach and out and tap the icons, hp, rim etc have amazing tablets that kick the iPads matte ass in features and speed, but those features aren't natural to use. apple have a tablet that is powerful and feature packed yet kept in its simplest form
Everything looks boring compared to the iPad. These tablets only purpose is to is to let apple know how great they are doin cause the are not competition!
"...Especially if you're one of those people who's not really fond of Android, and don't really like the restrictions of iOS...'
My message to the hair-splitting consumers:
If you are REALLY that picky to to not be able to choose between the two powerhouse tablets; the iPad and the Motorola Xoom, you shouldn't own a tablet anyway.
@korwinblue Just go to the store, and try the HP touchpad or motorola xoom. Then try the ipad. The amount of times the other twoo laggggg or just crash is incrediable. The playbook is just a joke, your a genius if you can get it to work without applying less then 10 pounds of pressure.
@korwinblue HDMI yes that is missing however, Flash with the adoption of html 5 is getting less usefull and honeslty most people can live with 32 or 64 gb on a tablet. The ipad does multitasking fine. I don't need to see apps running at the same time as a gimic. Oooh look the game and the hd movie are running at the same time...So what lol. They sould check their battery usage too.. And the interface on the ipad is clean. I guess thats just personal pref.
@PuyallupHero Specs and all might matter to us, but to the average consumer who doesnt know better, the price, wether or not they like the design and feel of the hardware and software and what company its from matters more. IE: If someone had a bad experience with Samsung and a good one with HP they might buy from HP because they dont understand the specs etc.
It's safe to say the iPad is unbeatable...Even if android managed to make a device that is 10 times better than the iPad, Apple will always dominate the market.
@Chigokai1080 Apps will come. How many Apps is the magic number? I mean, what do you need? A Dictionary app? Notepad? Evernote? eReader? email? calender? Flashcards? Unit converter? In every top ten list of Apps I see, I don't see why there wouldn't be something like this on WebOS.
@korwinblue webOS yes but blackberry? well i guess it's about personal preference but i fail to see how blackberry OS is better than iOS. blackberry just isn't at the level of android and iOS.
