Review: Incredible device with great multitasking, few kinks to work out though. - I've only been playing with this device for about a day now and I can safely say I'm going to be using it very heavily for the next few years. I don't regret my decision to buy this over the iPad 2 one bit, even though I was tempted to go over to the iPad since it has more apps. However, my review will be on the TouchPad's hardware and software. While apps are a very big part of a tablets value and quality, this tablet is still new and it's app catalog landscape can change very rapidly. So I'll get the apps issue out of the way first. Does this OS lack apps? Yes, gravely. Does this mean it's not as good as the iPad? Not at all. I do admit that a lot of HP's promised features are disappointingly absent from the shipped product, as of this review the Kindle app and the Video store are not functional(however you can download a placeholder app that tells you to wait). But HP is not wasting anytime fixing this issue. Let's get on to the hardware. The unit itself is very solid feeling, the screen is made of guerrilla glass but the case itself is plastic, so I would buy the case for this asap. It is a bit heavy but not enough to cause discomfort from light to moderate use. The hardware buttons on the unit are fairly minimal, you get the power button and the volume rocker and that's it. the lock rotation switch and the mute button are in the OS's drop down menu(very quick and easy to access, but they are still in the OS and not actual buttons). It's a very sleek and beautiful device, my only complaint worth noting is the plastic body. Handle with care. Another thing worth mentioning is that the device does not have a rear facing camera, I never understood why it was necessary since the majority of smartphones already have great cameras, I won't be missing it, but some people may. Software on the other hand is not mediocre, in my opinion it is the best operating system on a tablet device. Built from the ground up for multitasking and behind-the-scenes synchronizing, HP WebOS will spoil you and make it a tough decision to switch to android or iOS. I'm an original Palm Pre owner, I still have it and I'm not interested in switching until Sprint gets the Pre 3. The OS on this device is magnificent and a breakthrough for mobile computing. However, I'm not saying that this OS is perfect, for one thing it's very resource hungry, the device can start to chug or even freeze for a second or too when too many cards are open(or even if you just have one really complex card open). The OS obviously runs at 60 fps only when there are no cards open, and can slow to a very low fps when things get busy. Apps take a bit to open and the some touches may go unregistered and you'll have to poke it again, only to have it register both presses after it's done chugging. This is by no means a deal breaker, software can be fixed by OTA updates. The OS is still incredibly fast at switching cards and it's notification system is still the best there is. Got a text? It'll politely tap you on the shoulder instead of rudely interrupting you with a screen hogging box. I would recommend this device to people who want to multitask with their device, webOS allows you to effortlessly switch between tasks. This device is catered toward professionals, students and just plain busy people. HP has a lot of catching up to do but I still have a lot of faith and love for webOS, and I will do my part in helping it succeed. Things I love about this device: - Ability to multitask - Awesome notification system - Synergy collects all of your contacts and photos from many sources with very little effort from you - The Enyo SDK allows for very intuitive and streamlined apps - All of it's apps integrate with each other, when one app needs another to do a task it is opened automatically - Can connect to other webOS devices and share information semi-seamlessly - HP has a great developer program, I plan on developing apps and games exclusively for webOS - Simple and streamlined interface, if you're looking for something it will either be exactly were you think it should be or it will be very easy to find with Just Type Things I'm not so loving: (Most can be remedied by OTA updates) - The device can be slow at times - Built in apps are still a bit buggy - The app store is a bit empty at the moment - The device is made of plastic, not good for people who accidentally drop it - A security vulnerability has already been discovered in webOS 3.0(nothing to panic about, but still worth mentioning) - The removal of the gesture area is a let down but not a big deal
Review: Great for college students on a budget! - I purchased this tablet knowing it was discontinued. When first using the touchpad it was good but a little sluggish. I used "Webos doctor" to update the software to 3.0.4. The difference was amazing. I have used Android devices for a while and Webos is amazingly simple to use and multitasking is a breeze. Out of the box you receive webos 3.0.0 but just google "webos doctor" and update it to 3.0.4, it made the touchpad much quicker and took away bugs. Also look into installing Preware, this will give you access to many free apps and customizations to use on your touchpad. As for hardware it is good but does have it's flaws. The only thing that bugged me was that it was a little heavier than i expected but it's ok. Get a case and screen protector to prevent scratches and fingerprints. Out of the box you will receive a free 90 day warranty from HP that will be honored. You will also receive 50 free gigs of cloud storage from Box.com just for owning the touchpad. Many people complained about the lack of apps, personally i don't need thousands of apps to be happy and I was pleasantly surprised to find the app selection was better than I expected and not that bad, though it is far less than that of Android or Apple's. You should be able to find most of your favorites. The only app I do miss is Netflix but I do have a laptop for that. Overall this tablet is amazing. The Webos really makes the touchpad shine. As a penny pinching college student I can recommend this as a cheap alternative to the ipad. Just make sure if you do buy it to update the software to 3.0.4, this will make your experience much more enjoyable and it is free and easy to do. Games look great and they are all around 99cents (even for the good stuff). HD videos are very clear and the built in speakers sound pretty good. Don't forget that the touchpad supports BEATS audio. Also, look up the Angry Birds easter egg on youtube, it will make closing apps very fun ;) Good: WEBOS, great screen,free 50gigs of cloud service through box.com,90 day warranty, easy to use and multitask,BEATS audio, great for student on a budget. Bad: Fingerprint magnet, a little chunky for today's standards, app catalog is not as big as Apple's and Android ( but not that bad, you'll find many favorites), Must use webos doctor to update to 3.0.4, though it is fairly easy. Overall: The HP touchpad is an amazing tablet. The Webos software make is easy to use and a breeze to multitask. The screen is great for HD videos. App selection is alright but you should be fine if you don't require thousands. It's a little chunky. As a college student on a budget I can highly recommend this as a cheap alternative to an Ipad as well as those 7inch budget tablets.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there an app similar to netflix for the HP Tablet?  Or is there another way to watch tv shows and movies?**
A: I don't know if there is an app for Netflix in webos or not, but I've had no problems watching TV shows or movies on the tablet. Whether you download them directly from a computer or stream them from a website. I have my tablet dual booting webos and android. For android there is a Netflix app, but I've never tried it, not with all the websites out there that give you the same thing for free.

**Q: can signal convey to HP touch pad for internet**
A: If you are referring to wireless internet then yes, it does have that capability.

**Q: SHOULD I INSTALL ANDROID? My main use for my pad is internet and email. Would there be any substantial advantage to adding OR changing to Android?**
A: I bought the pad for my husband and his main usages are email and internet too.  I don't think he has wished he would have installed Android...  The one thing he would like to have though is Adobe Reader so he can open pdf documents.

**Q: Are you able to view movies, youtube using the usb port connected to a TV**
A: Yes you can watch you tube has micro USB . but you can always get the cord with standard size on other ene of cord . not sure about connecting to TV . HP no longer support this devise sadly . so if you drop a app they won't let you add new ones . mines been working since 2009  great battery life / just can't get any help from HP on this devise if you need any . they delete my camera app and photo app with no warning an I can't retrieve my photos / so this devise has its pros and cons / fast internet connection easy to use Facebook and twitter full versions also not the chopped down version like many mobile devises. Only downside is as I stated earlier HP will not help you if something goes wrong . I've heard several complaints about that from other owners . so if you buy don't delegate anything . and you will be OK.Sorry such a long response just giving heads up on this
