Tablet powered with WebOS multitasking

HP is well known for its laptops and it was only a matter of time when they will enter a tablet PC market. It may seem that HP TouchPad missed a huge wave of tablet PC euphoria.

But dicsovering impressive details that lie beneath HP TouchPad tablet cover, it becomes clear why it took so much time to manufacture this excellent tablet.

HP TouchPad features

The feature that makes this tablet stand out above the crowd is the apps usage and access.

In layman's terms, you can literally have every app open all the time because you can flip through the available apps as if they were a stack of cards. You can choose to group your apps into similar stacks, maybe all your music apps and video apps together, another stack for communication etc.

What this gets rid of is the constant back and forth clicking open from document to app and back again, effectively cutting out several access steps and this beats the iPad system hands down!

HP WebOs and apps

HP has loaded their operating system to meet every possible need, with promises of more in the pipeline. Their HP WebOS links to any HP device, their Synergy system pulls all your sign-ins together; Google, Linkedin, Facebook information combined.

Regardless of which email provider or app you use, the HP Touchpad works on DirectPush Technology through Microsoft Exchange so all messaging can be combined in the same view.

If you want to transfer files from your PC or Mac, connect the HP Touchpad and PC with USB cable, put your device in USB drive mode and you have drag and drop file capability. You can use desktop application like HP Play Beta for transfering and syncronizing music collection between PC and tablet.

The Touchpad supports Adobe Flash and HTML5 and to enhance your music listening experience it has the top end Beats Audio Sound software system, supporting virtually all audio formats and MPEG-4 and H263/4 video formats.

Physically, the HP Touchpad weighs 1.6 pounds and is 0.5 inch thick and if you buy the case at around $40 you get added protection, plus it doubles as a stand to make watching videos that bit easier.
