Amazon and Best Buy drop pricing on HP TouchPad
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHPAmazonTouchPad
Amazon and Best Buy have both dropped their pricing on the 16GB and 32GB models of HP’s new TouchPad tablet. Amazon customers can now pick up a 16GB model for $489.99 or a 32GB model for $572.65, down from $499.99 and $599.99, respectively. Similarly, Best Buy is now offering the 32GB model for $579.99. We’re not surprised by the price drops. In our recent review of the TouchPad, we said it’s “just good” in its current state and that the original pricing was OK if you had the patience for the tablet. At least now you’ll be able to save a few bucks for the nifty Touchstone charging dock.

HP TouchPad 4G for AT&T Announced
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksHPAT&TTouchPad
The HP TouchPad 4G has just been announced for AT&T, and this version will be sporting a 1.5GHz processor, which is a pretty nice bump up from the 1.2GHz processor that the Wi-Fi-only model uses. It has 32GB of internal memory and GPS and Wi-Fi capabilities, too, so it’s a pretty solid piece of hardware overall. And while it’s called the TouchPad 4G, it’s probably in reference to AT&T’s HSPA+ network and not its soon-to-be-launched LTE solution.
If you recently purchased the HP TouchPad with webOS, you might be feeling a little burned by the fact that HP announced a slightly more powerful model just weeks later. We have no clue why HP did that, but it’s coming nonetheless and it will be able...

HP plans major enterprise push for TouchPad
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksHPTouchPad
HP straddles two worlds: enterprise systems and consumer electronics. Its new TouchPad tablet is intended to satisfy the needs of both. But you'll have to look harder and wait longer to see HP's unfolding enterprise plan for TouchPad.
The Wi-Fi TouchPad, running the WebOS firmware created by Palm, goes on sale Friday starting at $500 in stores ranging from Amazon to Walmart, the same outlets that handle its PCs and printers. But the tablet is "enterprise ready," says HP's David Gee, vice president of marketing and enterprise solution for the Palm Global Business Unit. He oversees the marketing strategy for all WebOS devices as well as development of WebOS-based "solutions" for business custo...

HP TouchPad security flaw already found
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksHPTouchPad
HP's recently released TouchPad is its first venture into the tablet market with a webOS device. Even though webOS is based on Linux, it doesn't mean that it is immune to security threats, and the first security issue has been found on the tablet, in just a week after launch.
The problem resides in the contacts application, where certain text fields are unsecured, and can allow code to be executed from them should the wrong people get their grubby hands into the device. This malicious code could reveal contact data or much more sensitive information and then send it back to a remote server.
According to the researchers who located the issue, the problem lies with webOS' inherent nature, sinc...

HP TouchPad teardown shows between $306 and $328 in costs
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksHPTouchPad
The team over at iSuppli has taken a further look into the production costs of the 16GB and 32GB HP TouchPad and determined that each device runs at approximately $306 and $328 respectively after all parts and labor.
When looking at the total list of supplies, it should not be surprising that the most expensive part on the first WebOS tablet is the 9.7-inch, 1024x768 LG display. This display was estimated to cost $69. Coming in at second was another display related part, as the capacitive touch screen costs $63.50.
Every item costs the same between the two models of the HP TouchPad with the exception of the NAND Flash memory. The difference in cost for the 16GB and 32GB flash memory is $22 ...

64GB and 4G HP TouchPads landing in August according to leaked roadmap
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksHPTouchPad
According to a purported roadmap image obtained by PreCentral, HP will introduce a new 64GB version of its TouchPad this August alongside a 4G model on AT&T. The 64GB model will apparently offer a “glossy white” finish and could come equipped with a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor that’s clocked at 1.5GHz. AT&T’s 4G TouchPad is expected to come in a black finish and will offer support for the carrier’s HSPA+ network, but will maintain the 32GB capacity of the Wi-Fi model that launched last week. While early reports suggested that HP’s new 7-inch TouchPad, codenamed “Opal,” would launch in August, PreCentral says the tablet is expected to launch in the fall instead.

HP offers $50 off purchase of TouchPad to webOS early adopters
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksHPTouchPad
Those of you who took a chance on webOS early on and bought a Palm Pre, Pre Plus, Pixi, or Pixi Plus will be rewarded for your efforts in the form of a $50 discount on a new 32GB TouchPad tablet from HP.
HP is sending out emails to those early adopters offering them a $50 mail-in rebate with the purchase of a new 32GB TouchPad. Purchases must be made by July 31, and proof of purchase of one of the aforementioned phones will be required, so you had better have saved that possibly two-year-old receipt. The details of the offer will be in the emails that users receive, so if you are a current (or former) webOS soldier, check your inbox and maybe your spam filter too.
It's nice to see HP rewardi...

HP TouchPad now available for pre-order
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksHPTouchPad
Right on schedule, Hewlett-Packard’s first webOS-powered tablet is now available for pre-order. The HP TouchPad becomes available on July 1st but those who want to ensure they get their supersized webOS fix as soon as possible can pre-order the device through a number of different retailers. Best Buy and Amazon, among others, have the TouchPad available for pre-order at $499 for the 16GB model and $599 for the 32GB model, as expected. BGR took a hands-on look at the TouchPad when it was first unveiled back in February, and we were impressed. WebOS translates very well to a large form device, and the interoperability with HP’s upcoming Pre 3 smartphone is fantastic, though we still have no wo...

HP TouchPad rumored to lack document editing at launch
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksHPTouchPad
The WebOS nuts at PreCentral have received an anonymous tip-off that HP's imminent slate won't be able to edit Office docs out of the box. As much as we'd like to dismiss this as a retaliatory rumor put out by BlackBerry, it emits an unfortunate whiff of truth. While HP has previously made a big deal of the TouchPad's inclusion of the Quickoffice app, it has only said it's "working with Quickoffice" to include document editing, and it has never demoed editing in action. The company has recently been trying to boost its app count, but perhaps it should have put more effort into securing core functionality instead. A glimmer of hope, though: the same tip-off also suggested that at least some e...
