HP has just gone live with its webOS tablet (along with a couple of smartphones), named ‘TouchPad’. The TouchPad sports a iPad sized i.e. 9.7″ display with 1024×768 resolution. However the magic seems to be on the software end and if we are to go by the comments on our twitter feed, its surely a true competition to iOS.
The WiFi version of TouchPad would come in first (followed by 3G and 4G versions), though the pricing remains a mystery. While it looks competitive, but we are afraid that the iPad 2 would be out before the summer launch of TouchPad and chances are good that Apple would take the game to the next level by then. But pretty exciting developments at HP Palm (they have actually dropped the ‘Palm’ branding officially now), stay tuned for more on the announcements from HP today!
