HP TouchPad out for UK Preorder – webOS Tablet

The HP TouchPad is almost here! If you’ve been counting down the days til the webOS powered slate is purchasable – here’s some splendid news!

The TouchPad has just appeared on HP’s official site who are now offering it for pre-prder.

The HP tablet will arrive with Exchange support, access to a load of apps via the App Catalog, Beats audio tech as well as supporting myriad audio formats.

Straight out of the box the TouchPad will support Flash, Google Docs and Box.net as well as wireless networked printing.

Under the 24.6cm (9.7-inch ) XGA capacitive, multitouch screen (1024×768) sits a 1.2GHz Snapdragon processor and the whole thing weighs in at 740g.

Pricing has the 16GB model at £399 and the 32GB version hitting you up for £479.

Yup, it looks like HP is attacking Apple as those prices are exactly the same as the similarly spec’d iPad 2 Wi-Fi models.

Will HP’s webOS be enough to entice people away from Apple’s cart?
