If the Pre 3 were out today and if the TouchPad were $100 less we could maybe see giving it a go, if only to root for the underdog. But, as it is, you have to put your heart and two decades worth of Palm obsession ahead of any buying rationale.

The HP TouchPad is less polished than the iPad, with a smaller range of impressive third-party apps. Yes, it's got features that the iPad lacks, but so do the Android tablets, and they have a bigger app selection, too. quote

The TouchPad would have made a great competitor for the original iPad, but its design, features, and speed put it behind today's crop of tablet heavyweights.

The price certainly was a pro for this device. But WebOS leaves much to be desired and tinkering with Android leave less battery life and other hickups. Practically no apps for WebOS and the browser experience is the worst implementation of WebKit ever, with lag and occasional browser resets...

I bought the 32GB model when it was selling for $150 dollars. At first, I wasn't a fan of the WebOS. I'm android lover. However, the swipe and toss features of WebOS is outstanding. I hope Android systems can adopt this feature. The tablet in general is nice and sleek. Very decent for the price....
