The HP TouchPad is a tablet from Hewlett Packard that is a direct competitor to the iPad 2. But will their relatively new webOS be able to compete with iOS and Android? That question remains up in the air, but for now let’s get an in depth look at the HP TouchPad.

The first thing you notice is the screen, which is 9.7 inches with a 1024×768 resolution display. In the front there is also a front facing 1.3 megapixel webcam ideal for live video calling. The HP Touchpad stands 9.45 inches tall, is 7.48 inches wide and has a thickness of 0.54 inches. It weighs in at 1.6 pounds.

I’ve got my hands on a lovely HP Touchsmart tm2t laptop. After the success of the HP Touchsmart desktop series HP decided to take a big leap and try a touchscreen laptop. Their first attempt, the t2z model was a failure, so I wasn’t expecting this one to be that much better. But I was pleasantly surprised with both the ease of use and the performance after I sampled this unit.

Visually the tm2 is stunning with its brushed aluminum finish and riptide design etched in. The screen is 12.1 inches, which makes it much bigger than an iPad but considerably smaller than your standard powerhouse laptop. It’s a good size since it’s small enough to use as a tablet and yet large enough to still be used as your everyday laptop. The screen rotates 180 degrees and lies flat so it converts into a tablet with Windows 7. I’m a big fan of the iPad but could never make it a laptop replacement because of the lack of a keyboard and the lack of the windows operating system.
