Photos : HP WebOS-based Touchpad Tablet

HP had a few Touchpad tablets scattered around at a Media and Analyst event held at their club in Barcelona; the tablet looks a lot like the Apple iPad with which it shares the same form factor.

Jeff Ben, Product Manager at HP, showcased the capabilities of the WebOS but declined to say which version of the operating system the tablets were running.

He was also dismissive regarding suggestions that a HDMI port might be a useful addition, saying that users would rather watch movies on the tablet than connect it to a bigger screen.

Although there were no accessories for the Touchpad, we did have a closer look at the classy Touchstone stand that also serves as a syncing docking station, something that other competitors should emulate.
