HP TouchPad for $101

How easy is it to type on an ipad - like if you had to write an article, etc, and not just a short post? I don't even like typing on my laptop so much. It feels awkward.

Evolution is going to have humans with mini-hands in the next generation, for texting and ipads.

Nope, I think this is more realistic...

I believe most tablets run about $500 don' t they ? The iPad pricing is one of it's plusses. I don't think it's overrated.

I have an android phone and like it, so maybe a good tablet running android would be good. Apple just has the edge IMO
I don't like the small tablets either. They need to be big enough to set themselves apart from smartphones.

i have the samsung galaxy tablet 10.1 and it is awesome android tablet! same size as ipad 2 but better customization, i can watch stuff on cnn.com without open the apps or go to any website that posted video online, i dont think ipad can do that yet.

i love the black berry play book too, it is such an awesome device, the only bad part is, it doesnt have gmail sync and not alot of apps.

The touch keypad takes some getting used to. Probably not good for long articles or anything more than a paragraph. You can get the keyboard dock that holds the iPad up like a laptop. I use apples office apps and they work well and are only $10.

for the galaxy tab, i have an apps call thumb keyboard, where you modified the keyboard to be able to type with only your thumb! i have an app that sync my text messages from my phone to my tablet and now i just use my tablet for everything except making phone calls and playing starcraft II online (yes i am a 24 years old and i do play game, dont hate!)

or if you really want you can sync bluetooth keyboard and mouse to the device and use it from there...i never done it but heard some folks over at XDA forum that have done it.

I am buying a 16GB HP touchpad from a friend that got one for $99. I am curious - for those who own one, do you like it?

If anyone was lucky enough to get an HP touchpad, Macmall.com is having a sale on the HP touchpad cases for $15. I'm pretty sure they are the official HP cases. Shipping is free on orders over $25. I bought three, giving two as gifts for xmas.

Dang, I wish I would have seen this earlier, I just ordered one for $23.

Anybody use Hotmail on their touchpad? When I try to read mine, I get an error message concerning windows live.
