HP Touchpad 3rd Chance
woot.com right now has the HP touchpad up for sale. My brother was persistent enough to pick up a couple of them when the insanity sale has been going on, so I have been using one for the last couple months.
And I love it.
With a couple of very easy tweaks, the software is smooth and responsive, the controls are intuitive, and as always, webOS delivers the best multitasking experience this side of a PC... actually, it might be better than a PC come to think of it.
The main downside, as it always has been with webOS, is the apps. There are not that many available. But what I have found is that there is one good app available for each big thing you want to do. Kindle for books, a couple good news readers, an eBay app, a video player, pandora radio, a few good games, email, and the best facebook and twitter apps for any tablet. What isn't there are the thousands of extra, random or specialized apps, and the general quality of the apps is lower than on the major OS's. All that said, I love the tablet, and for this price, it blows the small and clunky Amazon Fire or big and overpriced iPad out of the water.
