The HP TouchPad, the first WebOS tablet from HP is available in stores today. So we went out to stores and got a unit to review. The HP TouchPad has a 9.7 inch screen, 1.2Ghz dual core processor, 1.3 megapixel front facing camera and comes in 16 Gb or 32 GB Wi-Fi options for $499 and $599 respectively.
The TouchPad is all black in glossy finish, which makes it a fingerprint nightmare. The devices does have some weight to it, with one physical button on the face of the device. On the right hand side it has a volume rockr and a slot that slides out to reveal you device serial number(Why?). No rear camera and no expandable memory.
WebOS at first glance sis smooth and robust, I noticed no hiccups and it was intuitive to use coming from a different platform. SO far I like what I see,. Though its interesting HP opted not to install a rear facing camera on this device, (but seriously who uses tablets to take pictures). Hope you enjoyed our first impressions of the TouchPad, We should have a full review of the device in the coming week.
