Comments Off on WebOS ran twice as fast on an iPad 2 than it did on the HP TouchPad
In the span of a few weeks, the HP TouchPad went from a highly anticipated device with a sleek Apple-esque UI to a product that completely failed to pick up any traction with consumers.

Comments Off on HP TouchPad skyrockets to the top of Amazon bestseller list; Is the iPad in trouble?!
Man, HP sure made a boneheaded move when they decided to axe the HP TouchPad at the height of its popularity. I mean, why would a company discontinue a wildly popular and successful tablet when it’s not only outselling the iPad 2, but is also the most popular electronic device across all categories?

Wow. In a span of just two months HP has done a complete 180. Just a few weeks ago they were talking about the importance of controlling both the hardware and software and now it’s being reported that they’re bidding adieu to WebOS and kissing the HP TouchPad and WebOS-based phones goodbye. As for the […]

As Apple continues to sell each and every iPad 2 it produces, competitors like HP are having a tough time getting people interested in rival tablets like the HP TouchPad.

Out for just about a month, it seems that the HP TouchPad isn’t quite the iPad killer that some folks at HP thought it’d be.

HP TouchPad reviews thus far have been sort of mediocre. While many are praising the device’s speed and of of course the intuitive WebOS software that powers the device, day to day use of the device isn’t exactly a seamless user experience. Writing for This is My Next, Joshua Topolsky writes that the TouchPad’s multitouch […]

A few weeks ago, Matt Cador articulated that HP would be able to use the same strategy it used to become the top selling PC manufacturer to topple the iPad. “In the PC world,” Cador explained, “with fewer ways of differentiating HP’s products from our competitors, we became number one; in the tablet world we’re […]

Comments Off on HP TouchPad rumored to launch in June for $699
BGR reports that HP is planning to release its iPad-esque TouchPad tablet before the end of June and that pricing will be about $699. And that’s for a wi-fi only model, mind you. But don’t get me wrong. The TouchPad looks legit, but the iPad 2 will have already been out on the market for […]
