Product Shot 1 The Pros:Supports flash- Netflix and Hulu stream very well. Optional Touchstone inductive charging dock accessory - allows you to charge the device without plugging anything in. Uses a standard Micro-USB port for charging and syncing - easy to replace or find a spare on-the-go.

The Cons:No external card slot for storage expansion. Already dead. Heavy- weights quite a bit more than the competition.

Michael Steele: #hp_touchpad You can decide that which device you want to buy:
Smartphone, laptop or tablet. But I think Tablet device is best for the businessman because of many reason. Many branded company sell their tablet but you should take a look on some tablet review site before you buy it so that it will help you to have some knowledge about its feature, its benefit, U can compare them for justifying that which of them is best.

http://whattabletisthebest.com/ is a same liked site where many people said their experience, review and comments about using tablets. You also can take a look on there. Apr 12, 13
