HP TouchPad Announced! FB405UA - HP TouchPad 16Gb Wi-Fi

Finally after months of expectation and rumour, HP has finally announced their eagerly awaited HP TouchPad. Call 01254 238 749 for more information. (We are taking pre-orders)

Powered by the latest version of the multi-tasking webOS 3.0 operating system, which HP inherited from purchasing Palm last year and a 1.2Ghz dual-core SnapDragon CPU, the HP TouchPad really stands apart from the Apple iPad and a sea of the same "Powered by Android" tablets that are currently available.

 

If you put the HP TouchPad and the Apple iPad side by side you would be forgiven for thinking they were somehow separated at birth as they both share the same sized 9.7" colour touch screen and the tablet housings are decidedly similar. Switch both tablets on though and the story changes significantly as the HP TouchPad starts to make the Apple iPad look and feel decidedly last year.

webOS 3.0 is a true multi-tasking operating system and allows the user of the HP TouchPad to simply flick between applications that are currently running. webOS 3.0 also supports "Touch To Share" which allows the transfer of text, websites, music and emails between the HP TouchPad and the newly announced HP Veer and Pre 3 mobile phones.

Hardware wise, the HP TouchPad is a real next generation power house. Along with the already mentioned 1.2Ghz dual-core SnapDragon CPU is 16Gb or 32Gb RAM, a front facing 1.3 megapixel webcam with support for  video conferencing, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, A-GPS (3G model only) and a stereo sound system powered by HP's Beats audio engine.

Out of the box will be the new panelled email application, Skype calling, VPN access, wireless printing with HP's ePrint range of printers, access to the Amazon Kindle eBook store as well as Google Docs and QuickOffice support.

On the accessories front, there's a case/stand (which includes a handy flip-out kickstand for desk use), a wireless keyboard  and a new Touchstone dock that enables all of the wireless communication magic between webOS devices.

Launching in the summer with a Wi-Fi only version, a Wi-Fi+3G version will launch closely after. HP have yet to confirm pricing and an exact launch date but expect pricing to be competitive with the much rumoured Apple iPad2 which is due around the same time.

Keep your eyes on the CleverBoxes.com website as we are sure to be one of the first companies in the UK to have stock of this super charged tablet.

2010 was the year of the iPad, 2011 will be the year of the tablet!

Posted by Paul Hanley

Apple currently dominates the tablet market, period. After the launch of the iPad in Spring 2010, Apple managed to shift around 15m units of the iPad world wide before the end of 2010 and not only leads sale with 90% of the market but is looking to increase sales massively with the launch of the thinner and faster iPad 2.

But whilst Apple currently has the tablet market pretty much to itself there are other devices launching now or in the not so distant future which have the potential to bite in to Apple's market share along with also helping to grow the tablet market.

Samsung launched the Galaxy Tab in Q4 of 2010 and it took 17% of world wide tablet sales in that quarter which is impressive enough in its own right considering the device is really nothing more than a large screen Android mobile phone (the same could also be argued that the iPad is nothing more than an iPhone with a large screen too).

Where things start getting interesting in the tablet market is the launch of products such as the Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10 and the LG 3D G-Slate, all of which run the brand new Google Android 3.0 Honeycomb operating system. This new version of Google's Android OS has specifically been created for tablet hardware and is a significant improvement over the more mobile phone orientated Google Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS.

We also have tablets from HP with their webOS based TouchPad (and webOS based Pre mobile phones to compliment the TouchPad) and BlackBerry with their Blackberry PlayBook tablet all set for launch between Q2 and Q3 of 2011.

The big question has to be though with all of these new tablets launching in 2011, how much effect will they have on Apple's dominance in this particular market sector. Whilst 10% of the projected 50m tablet sales for 2011 is still an impressive number will any of these other tablets. But as technologically advanced as they are will they be in a position to eat in to Apple's market share? Whilst not all price points have been set yet for the new tablets entering the market, tablets such as the Motorola Xoom have been set at a very similar price level to the competing Apple iPad and companies will find it difficult to out "Apple" Apple at same price point.

Apple is in the process of making the iPad the next stage of computing and the de-facto standard for both look and feel and how consumers want their software to look and work. But Apple has plans go further than this, not only do they want to own the market they want to define the idea of the market. We only have to look back to how their previous efforts with the iPod and the iPhone have turned out to get  some kind of idea of how this one may play.
