New Videos up today
QVC Video so you don't have to wait for live streaming. 15 minutes. excellent:

Very good product tour, very positive about the Touchpad

TechHarvest has a few videos out
YouTube - ‪TechHarvest's Channel‬&rlm;
YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

these are the new ones today

Very positive. Said OS shows polish and that the keyboard is the best of all the tablets
shows the difference that webos has with multitasking. My favorite statement though I could have picked a few "true multitasking takes the tablet out of the toy stage or infancy stage and makes it a productivity tool." Which is exactly what I have often felt about the iPad and iOS in general it's a toy. I was telling that to someone in best buy today.

seems like the reviews coming out now are much more positive

HP tablet beats Android - but not iPad - Video - Technology

Hi everyone, love my new Touchpad.I know it has a lot of good and bad,but with the OTA updates coming,things will get alot better.Just to put things into prospective,i'm an original Pre owner so,being a beta tester well,i guess i'm used to it. Now with most Tech sites gaving the Touchpad mixed review,this is the most unbiased Tech review i ever watch.Now share it with me,and watch for yourselves.

My hands on experiences leads me to believe the screen resolution is too low, it almost felt blur compare to other high end tablets.

Its the same as the iPad.

That put a smile on my face, and actually made me chuckle. There are actually plenty of more similar videos. CAn't wait for mine!

I think WebOS app launching is very inconsistent. The stock apps i think have always been a bit better....but there are times when an app just takes forever to open for no logical reason to the user.

At least that was my experience when I had a WebOS device.

Shawn Blanc just published a super indepth review of the TouchPad from an iPad user's perspective. I know, i know, "typical Apple fan." But there's a lot of interesting stuff in here that I haven't seen covered in other reviews. Like scroll behavior, for example.

He makes good some good points, but others...

I love my new touchpad, having owned an ipad which I loved but without flash, the websites I frequently go to are all flash based. Then I tried a asus transformer, very nice hardware, but I did not like the email client for imap, and the web browser crashed all the time, and although it was higher resolution with my poor vision the screen was hard to read.
now I am on the touchpad, 3 days so far and the browser has not crashed, email client is very good, much more like ipad, and yes flash seems to work quite well.
sure I wish the hardware was a little more sexy,thinner, lighter, etc. But at the end of the day the touchpad delivered what I needed, a good email client and a browser that supports flash and doesnt crash all the time

nice review from a UK newspaper..

HP TouchPad tablet

**augustofretes** · 07/09/2011, 01:06 AM

Another nice side-to-side comparative (I've always like Phone Arena):

Bonus:

Fairly decent review. But they forgot to mention taking phone calls with the Touchpad, or getting text messages from your phone. Also they downplayed that the front facing camera on the Touchpad is much better than the ipad2's. He also didn't mention beats audio and headphone sound quality.

He commented the audio, called it "decent" and move forward (also, he did mention the audio was better when watching a video, thanks to being stereo).

Great comparison video but he just compared the features that both tablets have. I wish he went on to mention those other TP features lacking on the Ipad... like touch to share, touchstone, and gave more attention to flash. Likewise, he could've mentioned features Apple has but TP doesn't.

I didn't know Apple had a mute switch. That's such a defining feature of Palm devices... sad to see that TP left that out but Apple has it!

Agreed, but they do have a WebOS 3.0 review (apart from their touchpad review):
