HP Touchpad: A Quick Look at HP's iPad Killer
The HP Touchpad features both front- and back-facing cameras, and HP is in talks with Skype to include that software as the engine for video conferencing on the device.
HP demonstrated the new HP Touchpad tablet for channel partners attending its HP Americas Partner Conference in Las Vegas, and many partners were impressed. HP plans to sell the tablet both through channel partners for commercial accounts and through retail for consumers. The device, about the same size as Apple's iPad, is expected to go head-to-head against Apple's staggeringly popular device. And unlike the iPad, HP's Touchpad features support for Flash, which is a big deal among customers, partners told Channel Insider. HP told Channel Insider that the device will ship sometime between now and June and will be priced competitively with existing tablet offerings. Here's a quick look at the HP Touchpad.
