The new HP TouchPad is designed to work like you. Letting you connect, play, surf, and share more easily. No barriers. No complications. Just a seamless flow from one thing to the next. TouchPad. There's nothing like it.

Store more files on the go and get more done with the HP TouchPad Wi-Fi 32GB, a tablet designed to work like you do. Connect, play, surf and share more easily. Organize your related activities into card stacks on the brilliant 9.7-inch diagonal LED backlit multitouch display. Enjoy websites with Adobe Flash content and hear music the way the artists intended it to be heard with Beats Audio. You can also use the front-facing camera and microphone for live video calling. HP webOS helps you multitask seamlessly. Sign in to your online accounts and this HP tablet pulls information together automatically. See your Face book friends birthdays in your contacts, compare work and personal calendars side by side, and view your work and personal e-mails together or separately. Just Type lets you create messages, search the web and more without launching an app first. Receive notifications of new messages, e-mails and events without interrupting what's on your screen. Plus, charge this HP tablet wirelessly using the optional HP Touchstone Charging Dock. The HP TouchPad Wi-Fi 32GB also works better together with other HP webOS devices: Touch to share websites with your HP Pre3 or Veer Smartphone.



I travel regularly for work and as such have a lot of down time in places where a full laptop is not convenient to use but a tablet works out well. Examples of this would be: time riding in rental cars, taxis, and public transport traveling to and from my home, airports, and client locations, time spent waiting for flights in airports (even nicer during delays!), the flights themselves (in-flight internet makes this really nice!), and the time I spend relaxing in my hotel room and don't really want to spend in front of the laptop I have been working on all day.

As I work in a technical field with specialized software requirements I must have a laptop with me no matter what tablet I choose so my tablet choice does not have to do everything my laptop does, it just needs to keep me entertained and informed. Email, web browsing (full desktop pages with Flash!), Facebook, Twiiter, kindle reading, games, videos, and music are what I need, the Touchpad can handle all that and webOS does it so much nicer than any other tablet out there, I should know as I also own an iPad and an Android tablet.

I have been using the Touchpad for a while, and have found it to be very well made and refined. It just works well, in spite of all the nit-picking reviews you may have seen. I am not missing any functionality, all of the necessary apps are available and well done. WebOS is a silky smooth OS and really makes the tablet a pleasure to use, in stead of getting in your way like some other tablet OS's. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants a fully functional tablet that is more than just a toy or status symbol.
