MWC 2011: HP TouchPad review - first look video

HP TouchPad

From servers to printer ink, HP covers a wide range of technologies. But the form factor on everyone's lips this week at Mobile World Congress 2011 (MWC) is tablets.

HP revealed its contender, the HP TouchPad, last week but MWC has been one of the first chances to get a good look at the device.

The 9.7in TouchPad runs webOS and links with the new Pre3 device, all thanks to the company's acquisition of Palm last year.

With push email, a forward facing 1.3 megapixel camera for video conferencing and a 1.2GHz Snapdragon processor, the specs look good, but will this trusted enterprise brand become a trusted enterprise tablet maker?

Take a look at our hands on video with the device to make up your own mind.

Verdict

Processor: 1.2GHz Snapdragon Storage: 16GB or 32GB Display: 9.7 inches with 1024 x 768 resolution Features: webOS, front facing 1.3 megapixel camera, push email, internal stereo speakers Connectivity: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Dimensions: 240 x 190 x 13.7mm Weight: 740g
