HP TouchPad Available but Found Underwhelming

HP's TouchPad has been a long time coming but it looks as though, now that sales have officially started, the product is not that great an accomplishment according to reviewers.

By now, end-users will have found out that the long-awaited HP tablet known as TouchPad has finally come forth.

HP was actually one of, if not the first notebook maker to announce it was making a slate, right around the same time as the first Apple iPad reared its head last year.

After that, it kept changing plans, until it decided to give up on the ones for Windows 7-loaded media slates, once it bought Palm.

After that, the webOS software platform that the latter had was changed, first into something for printers and, now, into a tablet operating system, although some loose ends still have to be tied up.

Either way, with the device now up for order, reviewers, understandably enough, got to put the slate through its paces.

Turns out that the impression left was not that bright, as there was more than one point of friction, according to the likes of PCMag, Engadget, ThisIsMyNext, PCWorld, BGR and CNET.

For one, the fact that the HP TouchPad is built without a camera on the back was seen as a disadvantage by the majority of testers.

Another sore spot was that the front camera isn't able to actually take any pictures, meaning that it can't compensate for the lack of the rear one.

Moving on, the product turned out to be almost twice as thick as the Apple iPad 2, even as the display had the same resolution and size.

Furthermore, though the 1.2 Ghz snapdragon had set expectations, the lag was found to be somewhat too pronounced, though browsing does appear to be quick.

All in all, though the hardware and design were criticized somewhat, webOS made a good impression (and an update should come soon enough, to make things run more smoothly), even despite the fact that there are few apps for it, for the moment.
