HP Reveals WebOS-Based TouchPad Tablet – Attempts To Take On Apple’s iPad
HP recently unveiled the web-OS based HP TouchPad to take on Apple’s iPad. HP claims it is “Super Natural” as it “works the way you do, so you get more done”. According to the company, TouchPad Wi-Fi models will be available this summer while the TouchPad 3G and 4G models will follow shortly. The specs for the device can be found below: Operating systemHP webOS Display9.7-inch XGA capacitive, multitouch screen with a vibrant 18-bit color, 1024×768 resolution display KeyboardVirtual keyboard EmailMicrosoft Exchange email with Microsoft Direct Push TechnologyPOP3/IMAP (Yahoo!

HP has released a video to give consumers a glimpse of what their upcoming device has to offer. You can find the video below: As of right now, HP hasn’t disclosed the price of the TouchPad. The possibility of it being an iPad killer is still there. According to the tech specs, it is definitely an impressive contender. If the price is right, HP might end up giving an Apple a run for its money but they should have launched it already as opposed to waiting for the summer. What do you think of the device?
