Handsome design
Reasonable price
Good multitasking
HP Pivot is great
WebOS. Cards is without question our favorite multitasking solution. Swiping your finger from the bottom to top of the screen turns an active application into a “card”. A second swipe closes out the app. Holding your finger down on the card allows you to arrange the application or “stack”. By stacking similar applications you are able to organize dozens of open apps much easier than on iOS

The HP ToucPad is a vital tablet, and it’s really vital for HP and will give customers another option in the market in addition to what Google and Apple are offering. Ultimately the HP TouchPad feels like a nicely built-engineered rival of the origina...
The HP TouchPad is a two-part story, first the brand new webOS 3.0 and second the tablet hardware it’s launching on. webOS itself is everything we hoped it would be on a larger touchscreen, the slick multitasking system, unobtrusive notifications and ...

The HP TouchPad is the most worthy competitor to the top-of-the-tablet-heap Apple iPad. There's room for improvement, but webOS 3.0 has the secret ingredient that iOS has always had, and that Google's Honeycomb still seems to lack: It's fun and simple ...

The HP TouchPad uses Palm's unique WebOS interface and delivers Adobe Flash-enabled Web browsing, Beats audio enhancement, and impressive compatibility with third-party calendar, messaging, and e-mail services
The TouchPad has a thick, smudgy design, offers no rear camera or HD video capture, includes a limited app selection, and its unique cards system of multitasking isn't as fully utilized as it could be
The TouchPad would have made a great competitor for the original iPad, but its design, features, and speed put it behind today's crop of tablet heavyweights.

Sponsored, The major concepts and foundations for an amazing tablet are there, and they're all genuinely innovative and fantastic. Cards may be the perfect metaphor for multitasking. Notifications are excellent. So's the Twitter for iPad-like sliding pane

Youre stepping on my dreams, HP. The TouchPad is so close, closer than anything else, to being good. But its also very, very far from it.AdvertisementLook, give this thing six months. It could be amazing. If its not by then, well, I guess that says eve...
WebOS is a capable third (or fourth) entrant into the mobile OS race. As with Duckie, however, I worry that the average Molly Ringwald will go with the popular Blaine rather than the loyal and arguably better school nerd. I don't agree that the TouchPad w...
