On July 1st the US market met the new HP TouchPad WiFi , which is the first tablet running on WebOS 3.0. To be honest it looks pretty good, and the prices are attractive, as the 16GB version has a price tag of $499.99, while the 32GB can be yours for $599.99.
HP TouchPad weighs in about 740g and comes with a 9.7-inch TFT display with 16M colors and 1024×768 pixel resolution. Just like most of the new-gen tablets, HP’s TouchPad features accelerometer, multitouch imput, and gyroscope sensor.
When it comes to connecting your HP TouchPad with different devices, know that it has a 3.5mm jack, microUSB, WiFi and Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR and A2DP. HP TouchPad also features two stereo speakers and a 1.3MP camera.
The HP’s tablet sports Adobe Flash 10.1 support, digital compass, Touchstone technology, GPS, media player, HTML browser, dual-core 1.2GHz Scorpion processor and is running one HP WebOS 3.0. The 1230mAh battery offers a decent autonomy of 8hours.
WebOS is an operating system packed by HP’s smartphones, but now the American company also offers it with their tablets. There are few those thrilled by this OS, but it seems to be more stable and faster than Android and Windows 7.
And since HP launched their tablet a few months ago, now they decided to provide an update of the WebOS in order to improve the functionality of their device.
The new update, dubbed WebOS 3.0.2 comes with some new features, and as all the updates do, WebOS 3.0.2 also comes with fixed bugs. Therefore the over-the-air update will bring an enhanced auto-correction feature, wallpaper support and a better application for viewing your photos.
The HP TouchPad will be soon notified that the WebOS 3.0.2 firmware update is available for their tablets, and they will be able to download and install it using OTA method.
But this is not the only good news, as the company also announces price cuts for their HP TouchPad, and you can now save $50 and get the HP TouchPad 16GB for $449.99 and HP TouchPad 32GB for $549.99 from here.
