Hands On: HP TouchPad for AT&T

What could goose the fortunes of HP's TouchPad tablet? How about standard support from AT&T? The nation's most significant GSM carrier showed away a edition within of the TouchPad gussied up using a 1.5-Ghz processor and HSPA+ support at a Tuesday evening event.

The AT&T TouchPad features a good offer such as the Wi-Fi-only product we reviewed, which we regarded since the really most superb non-iPad tablet. It features a few differences. There's a SIM card slot all through the top: push on it as well as the SIM tray pops out. Similarly, there's an HSPA+ signal indicator all through the standing bar, as well as a brand name new AT&T link Manager app using a long, skinny progress bar displaying how near you're coming for the data hat for the month. (See them all through the slideshow below.)

The 1.5-Ghz processor need to provide this TouchPad a increase over the Wi-Fi-only model's 1.2-Ghz unit, but sadly, I found out this TouchPad to possess some within of the troubles many different people these times have cited elsewhere. all through the arms of Ovum analyst Jan Dawson, the TouchPad's scrolling juddered also it took a noticeable even although to render our PCMag.com residence page.

Performance will most in all probability be substantially enhanced with a computer software update coming within of the few of weeks, our HP demonstrator said.

The new product also has 32GB of inside storage space and built-in GPS, which need to allow producing programs the fact that original, GPS-less TouchPad can't pull off. AT&T promises the tablet is "4G," by which they show HSPA+ 21, not the carrier's upcoming LTE network. within our speediest cellular systems checks this year, we found out T-Mobile's HSPA+ 21 system getting the second-fastest subsequent Verizon's LTE system; AT&T hadn't turned on the good offer HSPA+ 21 near to the continent when we examined in May.

AT&T appears committed to providing WebOS a chance. AT&T emerging equipment vice president David Haight stated that he believed there is space for just about any 3rd participant previous iOS and Android all through the tablet space. AT&T appears to possess voted in opposition to the BlackBerry Playbook for now, to ensure that leaves WebOS. AT&T is so much the only U.S. carrier to market the HP Veer, probably the most latest (deeply flawed) WebOS phone. So much HP's flagship phone, the Pre 3, is completely missing in action, without any carrier admitting it will market the device.

HP and AT&T didn't give a price tag or launch day for the brand new TouchPad, except to say it's coming out from the "back to school" time.
