HP Touchpad is a tablet in size from 9.7 inches diagonally (by approximation we can speak of a 10 ” tablet) XGA 1024x768pixel screen resolution and capacitive technology to multiple points of contact (multitouch). The diagonal and the resolution of display are the same the iPad for Apple, so that the size of the two tablets are very similar.
The HP TouchPad hardware is center on the Qualcomm Snapdragon platform of dual-CPU version clocked at 1.2 GHz The two ARM processors are able to support fully and efficiently multitasking user experience that rivals that of the common PC.
The built-in graphics accelerator allows you to play, even if we do not know with what framerate and with what level of detail. HP showed a demo of the Armageddon Squadron II game and know that there is a version from Angry Birds for WebOS. Staying on the theme of digital entertainment, certainly the most interesting feature is the presence of a decoding engine compatible MPEG4 video formats and H.264. It means that the HP tablet is capable of playing HD movies, maybe enjoying the sound from the speakers signed Beats Audio.
From the information gathered by fellow Americans, we learn that HP TouchPad will be distributed initially only in a version with WiFi connectivity, the model will come equipped with 3G modem later in 2011. Even without mobile broadband connectivity, however, HP Touchpad will manage calls and SMS hooking onto the Palm smartphone.
Between HP TouchPad and Palm smartphone is a perfect symbiosis in fact favored by the latest generation of Touchstone technology: SMS can be read and accept calls directly from the tablet, you can exchange links by touching the two devices (so-called “tap”), and more.
Many sensors available, useful for saving power, for better and more intuitive to use or play: ambient light sensor, accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, the TouchPad has nothing to envy to the best-stocked Android tablet. Will also feature an A-GPS receiver, but only on the TouchPad 3G, the reason one can easily imagine when one considers that already combines Qualcomm 3G modem and GPS receiver on his Gobi.
In the presentation made himself a quick mention of accessories, including highlight HP Touchstone a stand or music stand that is able to feed over the air (wireless charger) TouchPad: just place the tablet on the stand to recharge!
