HP rocks us with much awaited 9.7-inch webOS TouchPad tablet

The power of touch in today’s devices has made everything seem a touch away. The hottest fad though is tablets which have engulfed the techie world with their wits and charm. Entering the big world this summer is new contender - the HP TouchPad, a new Palm-designed webOS tablet. Having a 9.7-inch 1024 by 768-pixel touchscreen (similar to the iPad) it measures 13.7mm in thickness and has a weight of 1.6 pounds. The tablet comes equipped with internal stereo speakers and a wireless connectivity. One can choose from 8GB or 16GB options having a Wi-Fi-only or 3G-enabled variant-the latter in addition sports A-GPS.

The only variation between the iPad and TouchPad being webOS code in addition the TouchPad's CPU, LED alert light, adobe flash support, microUSB charger port, gyroscope, support and the TouchStone wireless charging procedure. A perfect choice if you yearn to multitask, supports VPN and helps to access and edit Microsoft Office docs.

For hassle free the touch-keys include a row of numbers. The tablet supports video calling with its 1.3 megapixel camera. Packed with a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, dual core 1.2 GHz processor, it works at a supersonic speed and also refrains from Apple's multiple-layered onscreen keyboard.

The real question is, will iPad loyalists ever vouch in for some other brand even if it offers more? With iPad about to get an overhaul soon, that only time and price tagging will tell soon.

Besides the HP TouchPad, two new smartphones, Pre3, and HP Veer were unveiled. Pre3 suits the needs of those who wish to carry business everywhere and don’t want to compromise on personal passions when it comes to powerful productivity. With touchscreen and QWERTY keypad options, this 3.6-inch 480-by-800 WVGA display, 8 or 16G memory, will be available in summer. On the other hand powered by WebOS is Veer, that supports a slide out keypad and 2.6 inch touchscreen. With such sizzling gadgets summer cannot be more welcoming.
