MWC 2011: HP TouchPad review - first look video

Reviews 16 Feb, 2011 Jennifer Scott

We get a first look at HP’s attempt to take on the tablet market.

Verdict: 

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.
