TouchPad woes
The statement (regarding the TouchPad) that "...the hardware feels cheap and clunky" is at odds with my experience. Although it is heavy, my TouchPad feels as solid as a bank. Okay, a bank before 2008.
My problem with the TouchPad is that there's not going to be a Version 2.0 to take care of the instabilities that always show up in brand new tech ... it's hard to believe just how badly HP handled the release of this device.
The interface is first-rate, in my opinion, and 'feels' almost like a desktop's multitasking; its handling of updates is seamless; and the ability to wirelessly recharge on the Touchstone stand is awesome, especially in 'exhibition mode' in which certain programs can run continuously -- I have a Star Trek LCARS clock that, while not strictly business-related, sure looks neat.
I'm tempted to buy a backup TouchPad while I can still get one. It's that good.
