Like probably a lot of you out there I have a new 32 gig HP Touchpad. It's definitely a neat little device and I thought I would give my pros and cons about the device. I've been eying the Tablets for a while now and I had been looking at the Android tablets because they have the ability to use flash. I've played with with IPad and didn't really care about the way they function.

Pros
-ability to use flash
-ease of use
-portability (lighter than a laptop)
-decent battery life (longer than a laptop)
-multi-tasking
-synergy (syncing different accounts)
-price (can't beat $149 for a 32 gig and $99 for a 16 gig. While supplies last.)
-ease of taking screenshot (power plus center button)
-ease of closing apps (just swipe the card up)
-Facebook app built in
Cons
-no SD card slot
-no GPS
-no rear facing camera
-no ability to scroll within a webpage
-lack of apps (we'll see if this will change with time)
-inability to load images to a website with an upload button
-no video output
-no ability to format within email client
Apps I Recommend
-Groupon
-CBS Sports
-Angry Birds
-Angry Birds Rio
-USA Today
-Box
-Spaz HD Beta (Twitter Client)
-Rev3webOS
-DoodlePool HD
-Video Flood HD
Apps I Would Like to See on the TouchPad
-Springpad
-Taptu
-Pulse
-Slackerradio
-Foxnews App (similar to the the iPad app.)
-Blogger.com App
-Dropbox
-Netflix
-Google +
-Google Maps
-Native Youtube App
Overall I am satisfied with the Touchpad. Hopefully we'll get more apps. I don't see why not with 500,000+ new Touchpad users. Grab one while you can.
