So much work For it all to be discontinued in a few months. Why did they do that?

[3SJiveTurkey]

Fire that cameraman.

[animalien]

@3SJiveTurkey I'd love to see you do better...

[3SJiveTurkey]

@animalien I apologise if I'm being rude, but I have seven years experience as a professional camera operator and so dodgy camera work is a pet peeve of mine. It's partly because he/she is using a cheap tripod, but I can also tell that they set the horizontal lock too tight, and the tripod isn't even leveled. Going off sticks was also a terrible decision, although at least the operator has steady hands.

I don't have any recordings I can show you. I do live gigs that aren't recorded.

Your description says it is HP's answer to the webOS tablet. This is confusing and incorrect. The TouchPad is HP's webOS tablet and their answer to the iPad. You should change it.

[animalien]

@dukcw0rm Actually, I wanted to state it that way. Think about it - WebOS was a phone OS. HP tailored it to a tablet. Therefore, it's HP's answer to the WebOS Tablet. I hate when people say "It's the iPad killer"... Don't compare to iPad - compare to what Palm used to be...

Did the guy at the left just pulled a lipgloss and put in on his lips ?! 24:24 O.o WTF?! xD

[animalien]

@IceNio If you've ever been to a conference, you're lips get chapped. Lipbalm is the answer. HP supplied everyone with balm.

[JHVH1]

the dock charger is sexier than the device itself. hah

[animalien]

@JHVH1 It is pretty cool.

[DomiBabi3]

That guy asking all the questions is annoying as hell. DAMN! LET THE MAN TALK! lol

[kiman2]

After looking at the dude's bald spot for 37 min, I now know his scalp like the back of my Palm.

[tejedor1967]

Why on earth all they dress on black T-shirt?? Kind of a cult or what?

Looks like... important guy = dark jacket no tie... the rest... black T-shirt.

Sure they make jokes about the way everyone dress on Apple's videos.

[animalien]

@tejedor1967 HP gave all the bloggers black shirts. Their twitter handles were on back. It was pretty cool

[scoinva]

People like typing with their device sitting on their laps.

[kariminal01]

WWDC 2011 keynote was an easy to understand version of what this guy has said

[Marclh1992]

I'm so getting one when it comes to Canada!

[avoidspam123]

apps are too slow to start up

[icicle1906]

@avoidspam123

hmm...seems about as "slow" as the iPAD2 if you ask me.

[animalien]

@icicle1906 remember - this is not the final tablet. It's running a beta version of the software.

[icicle1906]

@animalien LOL, I know, I was being sarcastic buddy! :)

[animalien]

@avoidspam123 It's still running a beta version of the software.

[bjs188]

He definitely said Pre3 to other touchpad, so you won't need the same profile. Nice! and hints at phone to phone, also nice

[animalien]

@bjs188 That is correct!

[randomnikka27]

rootbeer O.O

[icicle1906]

HP just made an announcement that it will be available on July 1st!!

[animalien]

@icicle1906 Yes. Wifi model will be available on July 1.

[thecivilcommentator]

Did anyone notice the guy next to Tim Pettit at 27:28-29? Tim's response made it seem like the question was one of availability, and the guy next to him put up two fingers and seemed to mouth the word 'weeks'.

I'm just grasping at straws here, but maybe?

[animalien]

@thecivilcommentator Didn't see that. July 1st is the date, anyway.

[toasterthegamer]

Looks so sexy! :)

[animalien]

@toasterthegamer agreed.

[PlatinumFundraising1]

This guy should do the Product demo's instead of Rubi

[FischOderAal]

@PlatinumFundraising1 Sad, but true :(

[animalien]

@PlatinumFundraising1 Tim does have a flair for it.

[mariolive7]

he did say 4g!!

[animalien]

@mariolive7 There will be a 4G model, but the WiFi model will first come out.

[kreiger]

I can NOT wait for it to come out!

[animalien]

@kreiger July 1st

[gollyzila99]

I'm so glad the Swipe Up gesture is still present.

[blackfireball5]

@gollyzila99 agreed!

[animalien]

@gollyzila99 I couldn't believe how easy the Swipe up was.

[animalien]

@gollyzila99 That is a great feature.
