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

Thick, smudgy physical design, No rear camera or HD video capture, Includes a limited app selection, Cards system isn't as fully utilised 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.

The TouchPad goes on sale 15 August through Harvey Norman. The 16GB version costs $599 and 32GB version $699 – both of which are slightly more expensive than the iPad 2 equivalents. This price disparity, however minor, seems optimistic given the TouchPad...
Poor selection from webOS app store for Aussie buyers, with no paid apps available yet; Noticeable lag during some operations; No 3G support; No expandable memory;
So many of today’s tablet offerings are just more of the same, but HP’s TouchPad rates highly alongside the Asus Transformer for changing the formula. The differences it brings – gestures and Synergy – are well executed, but the overall package is let...
webOS UI suits tablet form factor, Core apps are well designed, Account support is impressive
Bulky and thick design, Sluggish performance, Limited third-party apps
It's a shame the HP TouchPad has so many issues in its current form, because it's an impressive device to use on the whole. It does boast some class leading features, and its interface is in our opinion the best we've seen on a tablet device. But a chunky...

Abstract: NameTablet: HP TouchPadAt a glance:Very few apps designed for WebOS, and no paid apps yet in NZ,Recent price drop makes it affordable,Great audio and solid designSummary:In design and OS, it's a standout, but overall it feels like it's less than the sum o...
Abstract: With solid hardware and a user-friendly operating system based around multitasking and intuitive organization, the HP TouchPad is the best non-Apple tablet we've tested. There aren't a lot of apps yet, but Android Honeycomb tablet manufacturers should be...
If we frame a bottom-line for TouchPad, it is essentially based on its display, audio quality and user interface. They all are amazing, and something which would compel you to give a second look to the tablet. Yet if the perfection is seen, HP TouchPad ca...
Abstract: The new HP Touchpad is the closest thing to an iPad we've seen so far. The first rash of tablets were big phones, while Android Honeycomb brought a second wave of more advanced – dare we say geeky – tablets that added 3D cameras, keyboards, and places to ...
