Welcome to an official Good e-Reader Video Review! Today Markus and Nick review the latest Tablet PC from HP, the TouchPad!
This is the very first tablet in the world running the WebOS operating system and HP hit a home run with the build quality of this device. I really liked the 9.7 inch screen and the built in web camera. It feels heavier then most other tablets on the market but feels slick in the hand and is designed really well.
When using the software it ran very fluid and intuitive! The entire gesture and multitasking system won be over immediately and feels very different then Android. If anything the gesture support is much akin to the Blackberry Playbook. The pictures and video section is very solid and connects up via your Facebook account. It then takes all of your picture galleries and imports them on your tablet to view them.
There is built in Skype support to take advantage of the 1.3 MP camera. It also has Email support for Microsoft Exchange, Google, Yahoo, MSN and more right out of the box. The cloud storage options that came loaded on the device blew me away. It had Dropbox, Google Docs and 5 other storage methods that allowed you to access media online.
