Hoping to try out a tablet that's not iOS or Android based? A new alternative is hitting the market: HP's WebOS-based tablet, the TouchPad, will be shipping in the U.S. on July 1.
The Wi-Fi version of the device can be pre-ordered in North America and Europe on June 19. It's coming to the U.S. on July 1 and will arrive in the UK, Ireland, France and Germany a few days later. Canadians can expect the TouchPad in mid-July.
HP says the TouchPad will reach Australia, Hong Kong, Italy, New Zealand, Singapore and Spain "later this year."
The HP TouchPad is a 13.7-millimeter thin, 9.7-inch tablet with a dual-core 1.2 Ghz Snapdragon processor, 16 GB or 32 GB of storage, 1 GB of RAM, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and a 1.3-megapixel camera for video calls.
