TouchPad Virtual Keyboard

SAN FRANCISCO — Hewlett-Packard’s response to the iPad is landing this summer. It’s called the TouchPad, and even though HP wouldn’t let us touch it, the tablet looks rather promising.

Just like the iPad, the TouchPad has a 9.7-inch multitouch screen with a 1,024 x 768 resolution.

The tablet features a front-facing camera for videoconferencing and a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, stereo speakers, gyroscope and accelerometer sensors, Bluetooth compatibility and support for Adobe Flash. HP did not announce a price tag.

The TouchPad runs webOS, the smartphone operating system developed by Palm. HP acquired Palm last year. WebOS has been repurposed to suit a bigger screen, as depicted by the interface of the keyboard in the photo above.
