Erick is a cruel man. Known throughout TC HQ as the “Iron Stampede,” his rages against technology products are epic and legendary. You should have heard him go off on Google+ yesterday. He was livid.
That’s why it’s interesting to see him calmly dismantle the TouchPad in this episode of Fly or Die. Gone is the red faced anger, the spittle, the curses. Instead, he tries it out and comes away disappointed and nonplussed.
I, personally, got a kick out of the TouchPad and I think, if you read my review, you’ll understand that I find this product flawed but more than acceptable.
I think I could be swayed either way when it comes to Palm/HP’s latest, but until I change my mind I’m giving this guy a Fly. Watch the video for Erick’s reaction.
Also, note that the HP Facebook app was made by HP, not Facebook as we mentioned in the discussion.
HP TouchPad
TouchPad works like no other tablet. It allows users to move back and forth between apps, see related activities grouped together automatically to stay organized, answer calls and texts from HP Pre3 smartphones, share websites with other HP webOS devices, experience more of the web with Adobe Flash Player 6 and 7.
TouchPad tablet includes essential productivity apps right out of the box. Users can collaborate with colleagues using Google Docs or Box.net, print wirelessly to compatible networked HP printers, and browse the full web with support for the latest web technologies.
The next generation of Touchstone technology makes HP devices work better together. Easily share a website with a Pre3 simply by touching them together, receive text messages and answer phone calls on the TouchPad, start reading a website or blog on the tablet and then touch it to a Pre3 to take it to go.
