The New HP Tablet

When HP bought the Palm last year, it was not entirely clear what HP will do with the builder struggling smart phone. HP's own achievements in the smart phone market was quite weak for years, so it seemed that perhaps the HP really interested in getting their hands on Palm OS Web OS.

You do not have to wait long to start the rumors circulating that HP intends to put the Web OS on iPad style, and here it is .. HP TouchPad.

Very similar in appearance to the iPad, HP touchpad has a similar 9.7 "768 x 1024 pixels, measures 242 x 190 x 14mm and weighs 740 grams, as elegant, but with no idea of the project.

The real differences are underneath – TouchPad HP sports a powerful 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, which exceed the current offer from Apple. We say current, because the next few months will probably see the next two generations of the iPad, which must raise game trochę. TouchPad Apple's version is non-3G and 3G, 3G version also has a GPS so you probably can be used as a massive Sat Nav. There is also a 1.3 Megapixel front facing camera for video calls, 16GB or 32GB of internal flash memory and a huge 6300 mAh.

The new operating system WebOS 2.1 is also on smart phones HP / Palm, here scaled and converted to the larger unit. But HP must do something more than just port their operating system with the Web OS phone to the tablet - the current crop of tablets Android show how it can be thankless. Instead, HP will carefull yadjust the operating system to take advantage of a larger display and otherwise use the tablets.

But the basic problem for HP is - if you're going to create a device that looks like an Apple iPad, but not iPad, what is your unique selling proposition, exactly? Ease of use? IPad is verydifficult to overcome, and how much consumers will have the chance to do side-by-side comparison? Compatibility? Well,WebOS phones are very common and there is nowhere near the number of applications that are available to offer Apple. Mark?HP is not very sexy brand, they do not print? Price? Perhaps, but I really do not think that the TouchPad will be cheap.

To be fair, HP have the same problems marketing their ex-Palmsmartphones, as it may, the Pre tabletki.Palm was a goodproduct that just did not click on consumers and HP will have todo better .. especially with the upcoming crops Android 3.0tablets, such as Motorola Xoom.

HP said that the TouchPad should be available in the summer,but the exact details of the date of introduction and the prices are not known at present.
