Great product
on September 7, 2011
Posted by: Zhipeng
The first time to buy a pad. It's a great product for its performance! Unbeatable for its price. Also a wonderful OS. The only thing need to improve so far is its web browser.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've been using the touchpad as mostly a couch surfing device, it's idealy suited for just that. It'll be much easier to bring with me when I travel as opposed to the laptop as well. I've also thoroughly enjoyed the various games and apps as well. Overall, I'm tremendously happy with the product and I'm glad I purchased it.

A Mixed Bag

Comparing the Touchpad to any other tablet on the market is completely unfair considering the vast divide in development for the operating systems. Simply put, WebOS does not have the market that either the iPad or even the Android tablets do, and this limitation in app selection severely hinders the utility of the product. That said, this product still has a mixed bag of positives and negatives and I would recommend it with a caveat.
On a positive note, WebOS has potential to be a very intuitive and useful tablet operating system. The syncing across separate systems for email and messaging are fantastic and are extremely impressive. The tablet is also well put together; although plastic and a finger print magnet, I feel it holds its own against earlier generation tablets and the screen has fantastic viewing angles.
However, considering the competition, the performance on this tablet is seriously lacking. General application usage is slower than what might be expected, and the browser falls well behind the standards available on other competing operating systems. My other smart devices that are much less impressive on a spec sheet will handily outperform this tablet for the majority of what I desire to do (web browser, email, messaging).
All said, I don't regret the purchase and would recommend the product at the sale price I received. However, in competing terms, this tablet does not fare well against the iPad or Android in a number of aspects. Although WebOS does have many strong points and the tablet feels solid, it simply isn't worth investing in a lagging ecosystem and sluggish performance.

Great pad...no iPad 2 Killer

Of all the pads on the market...this will have to be number 2. Second only to the giant iPad 2. What's holding it back? Apps! Where are the apps!? Its Os is slower also...not slow slow...but noticeable comparing to the giant. Whats great!? Everything else. The quality, the hardware it packs, and the simple to use webOs. Its foolproof! Too bad they marketed it wrong. It should had been marketed to business people, as it is great at emails, printing! (yes...wireless printing..try that ipad!), stock watchers, and other neat little things that will make your business life so much easier. The screen is gorgeous! It plays full 1080p without hiccups. My gripe...it should had been a widescreen format for movies...but hey...if you do that...then it wouldn't work as well for books, notes, etc. A working man's pad. Oh yeah...buy the touchstone charging dock and the keyboard. Awesome accessories. A great pad...let down by a small app store =(

best purchase for the price

It's a great tablet. Very good screen, response time. More applications would make it hard to beat. Now if there was a netflix app available on it, that would make it awesome.
