![HP TouchPad Takes Aim at the Competition [VIDEO]](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/archives/01kdcPo9O5rZDnenI7ZzVSY/hero-image.fill.size_1248x702.v1647019561.jpg)
The TouchPad is HP's big move into the white-hot tablet space. Looking at the specs and the form factor, it's clear the TouchPad has taken a lot of cues from Apple's iPad, while still giving the device a flair of Palm panache.
Physically, the TouchPad aligns with the leaks Engadget obtained last month. Cross pollinate an iPad and a Palm Pre and you get the TouchPad.
Check out this video from HP's site:
The TouchPad's physical dimensions should be very familiar to iPad owners:
1.6 lbs
13.7 mm thin
9.7-inch 1024x768 display
1.3-megapixel webcam for video calling
Stereo speakers
When we go under the hood, what we see looks similar to the Motorola Xoom and the rumored specs of the iPad 2.
The TouchPad includes:
Dual-core 1.2 Ghz Snapdragon processor
16 or 32GB of storage
802.11 b/g/n for Wireless
Bluetooth 2.1
1 GB of RAM
3G and 4G versions of the device will hit the market after the Wi-Fi model arrives and feature on-board GPS.
On the accessory front, HP will be releasing an innovative Touchstone dock that acts as both a cables-free charging station and a stand.
For the expected release date, HP says "summer" and is staying mum on the price for now. WebOS looks great on a larger device and we look forward to seeing what apps head its way.
